Election again, sadly reviewing the candidate’s platform only
few includes the protection of the environment in their platform. So as a voter
looking for a green candidates have no other option but to look on their green track
records. Fortunately, Rappler, an online news media have an article entitled “How'green' is your Senate bet?” which
have a matrix of candidates who have best and worst green track records. Sadly,
those have worst track records belong to the administration bet and now leading
the pre-election survey. Only two from administration included in the top
twelve who have a good green track records. Seven from opposition and three are
independent. The candidate that is the
most green is Neri Colmenares and worst is Bong Go. Neri got the number 1 spot
for creating laws that will protect the environment and serve as lawyer for
environmentalist. While Bong Go got the last spot is for the Duterte administration
favoring China’s project that will harm the environment like Chico and Kaliwa
dam projects.
If you are green
lover, you can use this matrix to select your 12 senators this coming May 13
election. You can view the chart by visiting this page: “How 'green' is yourSenate bet?”
