Candlelight Activity at the DENR Office in Quezon City
Green Thumb Coalition members light candles forming "DefendDENR" in support of Greenpeace blockade at the gates of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, in protest of the control that big business interests exert over the rights of people to a healthy and balanced ecology.
Greenpeace is challenging both Houses of Congress to investigate the actions and decisions of their members in the Commission on Appointments (CA) that now effectively protect public officials who have conflicts-of-interest, from public scrutiny.

Blockade and Candlelight Activities at the DENR Office in Quezon City
Activists from Greenpeace Philippines blockade the gates of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) head office in Quezon City to protest the continued control of the Philippine government by big business interests, and as a failure of the current administration to stand by the reforms it is pursuing.
The protest stems from the decision of the Commission on Appointments (CA) to reject Regina Lopez as head of the DENR last week. The group said that, with the rejection of Lopez, the reforms she introduced should be protected and continued. They are also calling for transparency and accountability on the votes cast by the members of the CA.
