"My environmental advocacy is to strengthen smoke free measures, like tobacco control, in order to protect the air.
In the Philippines, 240 Filipinos die everyday due to smoking related diseases and a huge percentage of this number is because of second hand smoke exposure. We pertain to the pollutants caused by the 7,000 chemicals that a single cigarette stick can cause. Everyone deserves the right for clean air and this is a right that the government should never undermine.
I also believe in the integration of environmental awareness in the curriculum of all levels. "
