- Gina Lopez argues that mining should be seen as a privilege rather than
a fundamental right. She believes that Filipinos have a God-given right
to their natural resources, and it is the government's responsibility to
protect these rights. She also asserted that allowing mining which can
cause pollution to the environment and can lessen the access of clean
water and air, would not align with these rights. She emphasizes the
need to prioritize Filipino's rights over the economic benefits of mining.
