Gina Lopez Eco Park

The Philippine Star
October 29, 2019 | 12:00am

A plan to rename La Mesa Eco Park in honor of the late Gina Lopez is a welcome news and a step in the right direction.

Since the protection of our environment was one of her priorities and goals in life, it is just fitting to rename La Mesa Eco Park after her.

For one, she was instrumental in the reforestation and re-development of the park as it is today.

As a former Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), she fought ‘ tooth and nail’ against the vested interest in the mining sector that led to her ouster as a cabinet secretary.

Awareness of our environment was Gina Lopez contribution and legacy to our country, our people and future generations to come. – Pedro V. Refuerzo Jr.
