Lopez even sang her favorite song, "I Believe I Can Fly" in front of the media during her press conference in the Senate.

She is the second Cabinet official appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte to be rejected by the CA.

Lopez said that members of the CA were influenced by business interests.

“If government co-opts to big businesses, then what hope does the poor have? What message are we giving here? If you wanna be confirmed, don’t go against big businesses,” Lopez said.

“When our lawmakers don’t stand for the constitutional right of every Filipino and rather be influenced by business interests, it’s wrong,” she added. —NB/TJD, GMA News
