Gina Lopez just got the balls that other men in government didn't have. She's no close to perfection, she has flaws in her research, she knows only a few things about the Constitution... But hey, she's way way better than anyone else in the senate and the congress! She admits to have been studying all the facts since she handled DENR and a lot of what she has done benefited the country and its people.

Politics in the Philippines is slowly killing the country.

I think it is because she is well know as a person who fought against mining companies who do not abide by the rules.
