CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Second District Representative Rufus Rodriguez is hoping for a Senate counterpart of his two bills seeking a ban on mining and logging in this city. In a statement Tuesday, Rodriguez said House Bills (HB) 966 and 967, which have been refiled for the past 15 years, have been approved at the House of Representatives under the Committee on Natural Resources after the endorsement of its chairperson, Cavite Representative Elpidio Barzaga. Rodriguez noted that since he filed the two bills in the 14th Congress, between 2007 and 2010, “senators had inexplicably failed to act on the environmentfriendly bills.” “We hope that this time, senators will see the omnipresent danger from logging and mining our people in Cagayan de Oro face every day of their lives. We pray that our good senators will finally act on our bills,” Rodriguez said. Under HB 966, illegal loggers would be meted See PUSHES, page 11
