Fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) yesterday urged Environment Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga to make a stand against the reclamation projects in Manila Bay. “After getting the nod of the Commission on Appointments (CA), Loyzaga should perform her mandate in protecting the environment,” Pamalakaya said in a statement. Loyzaga was among the Cabinet secretaries of President Marcos whose appointments were confirmed by the CA on Tuesday.
