Second of 4 parts Deputy executive secretary for legal affairs Anna Liza Logan had on December 23 lifted a cease-and-desist order issued in March and April last year by the environment and natural resources department's Mines and Geosciences Bureau to Yinglong to stop its nickel-ore mining operations. However, another line agency of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources , the Environment Management Bureau , issued to Yinglong an export permit for the nickel ore on December 29.
Did she issue the order in the spirit of kindness during the Christmas season? Desla Logan is known to be close to the first lady, Liza Araneta-Marcos, having been with her former law firm MOST for 14 years until the latter asked her to join the government as Desla, the most important deputy of Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin. The big question bugging DENR officials is whether or not Logan asked her permission to issue the order favoring the erring Chinese firm.
Nickel ores' one of the country's best natural deposits. What r we gonna do with it?The DENR turns the green light for export but same light BoC switches to red. So there's something messy in the control box which is probably kept in Malacañang palace. Who's hand's gonna fix it?
