Fight environmental terrorism — Congress
Excerpt
A lawmaker has called on Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to intensify the government’s campaign against wildlife trafficking in the country, which she described as a form of environmental terrorism. Occidental Mindoro Rep. Josephine Ramirez-Sato made the call following reports that the Philippine National Police recovered 70 dead marine turtles, locally called pawikan, in the northern Palawan town of Dumaran last week.
