MANILA, Philippines — Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga on Friday broke her silence on allegations that her position as Department of Environment and Natural Resources chief clashes with her family’s vast landholdings.

In his “Gotcha” column in The STAR, Jarius Bondoc said the Yulo King Ranch was accused of land grabbing, involving 40,000 hectares of forests and ancestral domains in the towns of Coron and Busuanga in Palawan. Bondoc alleged that the Yulo family came to own the land in 1976, a year after former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. issued Proclamation 1387 on the Busuanga Pasture Reserve.
