“Before being a beauty queen i am also a scientist and an advocate of the earth. So what I do is I travel to different sectors in the Philippines to talk about the 17 sustainable development goals and their interconnectedness to nature. One thing I have observed in the Philippines is that most students actually do not have any idea about it. So that’s a very disheartening reality. But what I do is I take my best effort to go over different sector to talk about it.
“I focused on sharing how I observed that most of our students and audience do not have an idea about the synergy of SDGs and climate action. And I personally can’t blame them. Especially in the Philippines where we experience a high rate of poverty, hunger, and medical problems, climate action may possibly be perceived to be least of their priorities. But this is what I do as a spokesperson of the climate and [the SDGs],” she said.
