Scientists, students shoot down DENR exec’s ‘below-the-belt rants’ about UP experts

Several scientists and practitioners of marine science, along with geography students in University of the Philippines , decried the “below-the-belt rants” of Department of Environment and Natural Resources Undersecretary Benny Antiporda., a national organization of scientists and practitioners interested in marine science, emphasized the roles of scientists in assisting the government by doing research and public service in partnership with national government agencies.

on October 15, Antiporda said his statement was “not intended to destroy the good name of the university itself but this is just to send the message to UP MSI that we're partners here.”He told UP MSI that they should have directed their sentiments to DENR directly. “We do not deserve the malicious accusations of USec Antiporda that scientists are 'bayaran'. We need funds to do research,” PAMS added.

“This anti-science sentiment is disappointing, as the statements from these institutes are not personal attacks towards you nor the DENR, but rather an effort to present the truth and alternatives for better policy-making decisions,” GSUP said.

Pag ganito mga opisyal ng gobyerno. Wala na talagang kinabukasan ang pilipinas..

pwede bang i-declare na persona non grata si Antiporda within the entire UP system (including all UP real estate)?
