DAVAO CITY—Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Gina Lopez condemned the killings of two environment advocates in Davao Region last week.

Lopez was convinced that the killing of Joselito Pasaporte and Jimmy Saypan was related to their advocacy to stop the mining in their respective areas.

Pasaporte was killed on October 13 while Saypan was shot dead on October 10 in Compostela Valley Province.

Lopez added that the mining companies in Mindanao are not the responsible miners they claimed to be in a gathering here in the city.

Meanwhile, the 10th Infantry Division denied that they were behind the killing of Saypan and Pasaporte.
