players are responsible and adhere to the lawful standard of operations to ensure that the environment is protected if elected president in 2022 elections.Mayor Francisco Isko Moreno Domagoso meets Kois, the White Siberian Tiger at the the Manila Zoo. Moreno said he is hoping that those visiting the Manila Zoo will meet Kois soon. The tiger is originally from the Clark Zoo.
According to Moreno, the standard-bearer of Aksyon Demokratiko, the country needs mining as it provides jobs and other livelihood related to the industry, and revenues for the government, particularly in this time of pandemic when the economy is hurting. The government, he said, should take advantage of luring foreign investors into the country with the lifting of the nine-year moratorium on new mining agreements and the four-year ban on open-pit mining of minerals by President Duterte.
Moreno, however, shunned backyard mining operations, which he said are mostly unregulated, leading to the destruction of the environment.
