BS Aquino’s COP21 posturing only exposes his reign as ‘PH disaster president’

PRESIDENT BS Aquino’s presence at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP 21) Climate Talks in Paris, France merely highlights his reign as the country’s “disaster president,” according to the national agriworkers federation Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA).

“He will only be posturing with his claims that the Philippines would help mitigate effects of climate change,” said Ranmil Echanis, UMA Secretary-General. “The Aquino administration’s commitment to maintain and expand corporate agricultural plantations especially in Mindanao is a testament to this hypocrisy.”
