Liberal Party Senatorial candidate and environmental advocate 'Teacher' Neric Acosta expresses concern over the recent news on the rotating power outage affecting Visayas and Mindanao, and now even Luzon--a clear effect of environmental damage.
"The decrease in the water level of Lake Lanao is caused by the low rainfall attributed to the El Niño phenomenon and the fact that climate change exacerbates the problem by causing evaporation of the water supply," Acosta explains. "This is a call for citizens to be more cognizant of how their day-to-day activities affect the environment especially since the environment significantly impacts socio-political life."
"If the shortage of electricity continues until May, the elections will become more vulnerable to cheating and massive fraud," 'Teacher' Neric Acosta emphasizes. "This is a call to citizens to be more vigilant and proactive in preventing any threats to free and fair elections and democracy."
