DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu said the arrest of the suspects is part of the department's renewed commitment to "conserve specific terrestrial and marine areas representative of the Philippine natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations" amid the pandemic. "We will continue to apprehend these illegal wildlife traders whether we have a pandemic or not. This is what the DENR can always assure the public," Cimatu said. He noted that illegal wildlife traders have become more brazen since the pandemic began, but assured that the DENR remains vigilant to protect the biodiversity. DENR’s Environmental Protection and Enforcement Task Force (EPETF) arrested Rendel Santos, 21, and Alvin Santos, 48, for illegal possession and selling of two (2) Umbrella cockatoos (Cacatua alba) at Barangay Pagala in Baliuag, Bulacan last May 2. The DENR-Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Baliuag, Bulacan said the suspects were not issued a permit to transport the cockatoos. The Umbrella cockatoo is listed under Appendix II of the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that the species is not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled.

  • Senate Convicts Chief Justice Corona
    POLITICAL 7 Senate convicts Chief Justice Corona The Senate Impeachment Court, voting by an unexpectedly high 20-3, has convicted Chief Justice Renato Corona. The senators believe that the Chief Magistrate is guilty of culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust for his failure to truthfully and fully disclose his assets in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN). It found Mr. Corona unfi t to stay on as the Chief Justice of the Republic of the Philippines. t is the first impeachment case in Philippine history to be successfully completed. I It was generally expected the vote would be close, it wasn’t. It was an overwhelming indictment of the Chief Justice. The character of the three that thought him innocent only further strengthened the indictment against him. What nailed him was his own admission of what was in his bank accounts. He argued the dollars were legitimately saved (using some strange fi nancial logic) but that wasn’t at issue. What was was that he hadn’t declared them. Claiming non-disclosure was allowed due to the confi dentiality of the Foreign Currency Deposit Act was a twisting of interpretation of a law unbecoming a lawyer, let alone the Chief Justice.

Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Julian Thomas B. Alvareza, Jahm Mae E. Guintoa,b, Joseph J. Capunob† aAsian Development Bank bUniversity of the Philippines Abstract Unlike in previous crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a crisis affecting all population groups, all economic sectors and all jurisdictions in the Philippines, as elsewhere. The impact of the COVID-19 vary across localities, however, partly due to differences in local government responses to the pandemic. Our objective is to examine the patterns in the types and timing of local responses among neighboring local government units (cities) for evidence of one- upmanship among their incumbent leaders (mayors). We assembled data for 25 selected cities and then grouped them into 28 neighborhood clusters. Using three indicators, we measure the immediacy, primacy and distinctiveness of the local responses within each cluster over the period March 2020-March 2021. Of the 28 clusters, we find in 19 (67.9 percent) evidence of one- upmanship consistent with the view that the type and timing of local responses are driven by mayors who wish to signal their talents and abilities.

Cimatu ang mga wildlife officers na nakasagip sa blue-naped parrot sa Manila habang ipinatutupad ang enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa Luzon at iba pang lugar sa bansa upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19. “Our wildlife enforcers deserve a salute for their efforts to recover a national treasure – the blue-naped parrot that is endemic to Luzon and classified as ‘near threatened’ or may be considered threatened with extinction in the near future,” sabi ni Cimatu. Ayon sa DENR ang mga wildlife officers na tinutukoy ni Cimatu ay ang mga tauhan ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-National Capital Region na pinangunahan ni Special Investigator Rey Florano. Magugunitang noong Abril 29, 2020 nang magtungo ang grupo ni Florano sa condominium building sa San Andres Bukid matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono mula sa isang residente na nagngangalang Athena Parado dahil sa pagkakakita sa ibon sa kanilang lugar. Matapos mailigtas ang ibon ay agad itong dinala ng grupo sa Wildlife Rescue Center ng DENR’s Biodiversity Management Bureau sa Quezon City kung saan ito mananatili at aalagaan. Ayon kay Cimatu, patuloy ang DENR sa pagtupad sa kanilang mandato na protektahan ang ating “flora at fauna” kahit na mayroong COVID-19 crisis.
