President Rodrigo Roa Duterte presides a situation briefing to discuss the aftermath of Typhoon Ulysses in the Cagayan Valley Region at Tuguegarao airport in Cagayan on (Sunday) Nov. 15, 2020. Duterte ordered Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to look into reports of illegal logging and mining following massive flooding in Cagayan Valley during the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses. (Screenshot) MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday ordered Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to look into reports of illegal logging and mining after Cagayan Valley experienced massive flooding triggered by heavy rainfall due to Typhoon Ulysses and enhanced by the tail-end of a cold front. “I will direct here Cimatu to look into the illegal minings especially where people are building their shelter downwards,” Duterte said in a situation briefing in Tuguegarao City on Sunday. He lamented that despite being discussed in various meetings, “nothing” has been done to address illegal logging and mining in the country. “We always talk about illegal logging and mining but actually nothing has been done about it,” he said. Duterte also asked Cimatu to ensure that residents in flood-prone areas are relocated to higher grounds. “In other areas, yung convincing the people to move to a place where it’s not prone to flooding. That’s the only way that we can erase agony every time that there is a typhoon over here,” he said.
