Saving Siargao, Part 2: The secret crisis beneath the island's seas
Q: Can you tell us how you first got into diving and why you fell in love with it?
Chie explains she started as a professional mermaid and later became a dive master; diving offered learning, financial independence, and a profound connection to underwater life that made her fall in love with the ocean.
Saving Siargao, Part 3: How corruption is destroying the environment
Q: Can you tell us more about what's happening in Siargao in regard to the environment?
The environment is repeatedly impacted by a combination of corruption, unlawful construction, and insufficient oversight, leading to projects that damage ecosystems and fail to deliver proper benefits to local communities.
What it's like running the Philippines' most corrupt government agency with Vince Dizon
Q: Are you satisfied with the pace with which the courts are responding to the recommendations?
I think we're all not satisfied. We all want things to go faster.
What it's like running the Philippines' most corrupt government agency with Vince Dizon
Q: How have you been these last four months since you first took the position of the head of the most corrupt government agency?
It's been hard. It's been difficult. I feel much older, and I really can't believe it's just been four months.
Tracing the Wealth of the Romualdez Family
Q: Can you tell us more about your time as Commissioner? Were you able to acquire or recover properties that were abroad? Was the US government helpful perhaps in trying to bring back those properties, if at all?
We were involved in going after foreign assets, particularly $680 million in Swiss bank accounts. It was important for justice to show that it is possible to go after these people.
