Why do you want to be Miss Philippines Earth?
Because I love our land from the north to the south with all its islands and waters and skies – I know that with my degree and studies and research I can make great changes to our environment and take a different approach to our natural disasters and try to work with it instead of fighting it. With that being said we can build a better home and opportunity to our people.

What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?
My advocacy: empowering climate activism and environmental awareness on a global scale regarding flooding I chose this advocacy to help out capital and other parts of the Philippines from sinking engineers and architect as well as planners are building streets on top of the other without really solving the problem making is wors with every year leading to the sinkage of some of the city and that’s called manhatization I would like to suggest a different way to deal with that and accepst mother nature and get more inspired by BGC or Vancouver and try to follow their Urban plans.

What tip can you share to promote eco-tourism in your City or Municipality?
The most important thing is hygiene – “don’t leave a mess when you leave” – keep my city clean and neat and promote walking instead of the transportation
