Gina Lopez, the former Philippines Environment Secretary, sent a message here this week that updates her activities following the Congress decision in May to remove her from office.
“I’m now into this movement called ILOVE: Investments in Loving Organizations for Village Economies. The goal is to build the country from the bottom up. I am in the midst of collaborating with 20 million youth as a citizen’s lawsuit is filed against the government. Will send you the details. I’m meeting the student leaders today.”
Gina’s message also included a link to this terrific video by a Dutch filmmaker. It’s quite good.
In the pantheon of courageous public servants I’ve met, Gina Lopez ranks near the top.

She is stunning. What a Joan of Arc. Hope she can get her country (and all countries) on the right track. When watching this video, I was reminded (as I am by the media many times per day) of the fast-tracking, pervasive transfer of wealth from the citizenry to the 1% that is taking place in our country vis-a-vis health care and tax “reform.”
