DOE Sec Attempts To Suppress The People

Sec Almendras, the former employee of Aboitiz now Sec of the Dept. of Energy says Govt. LGU's should be ignored.

We Say:

Has Sec Almendras forgotten what our national heroes fought for? Has he forgotten that the Philippines was given to the people? How dare he suggest that the will of the people be overridden so that he can better serve his former employer in pushing through their projects? He should be charged with treason!

The suggestion that the LGU’s, who, in this case, the voice of the people should be suppressed and by-passed is something one would only expect in a communist country, not a country that has already fought for its freedom! Did Sec Almendras not notice that we just celebrated National Heroes Day while he is dancing on their graves?

In the case of Subic Bay, the residents of the area have strongly opposed the construction of a Coal Power Plant, the governor of Bataan has kindly offered an alternative site with social acceptability bad Sec Almendras and his Aboitiz cronies are determined to squeeze the life out of Subic because of a suspiciously bias agreement they got signed while the former president was in Power.

If the issue was as described by Sec Almendras, about national interest, Aboitiz and Meralco would be going ahead and already building the plant in Bataan, where they have acceptance, but no it’s not about National Interest it’s about GREED. Shame on you Sec Almendras, shame on you.
