Heralds of green renewal

MANILA, Philippines - Ninety percent of coral reefs nearly destroyed, 900 hectares of forests denuded each day, and a capital city with one of the most polluted skies in the world. These grim statistics reveal a Philippine environment under siege-and in dire need of ambassadors that can champion its recovery.

Over the years, local personalities and corporations have answered the call by becoming heralds of green renewal. The list includes award-winning actress Chin-Chin Gutierrez, non-profit organization Philippine Green Building Council (PhilGBC), and Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company that is developing one of the most ambitious eco-friendly developments in the Philippines: Treveia.

Eco hero

Equally renowned for her work as a silver screen star and as an environmental advocate, Chin-Chin Gutierrez was named as one of Time Magazine’s “Asian Heroes” in 2003. She appeared on the cover of the prestigious publication where her efforts on expanding ecological awareness were cited. Aside from tree plantings and beach clean-ups organized by her group Mother Foundation, Gutierrez also conducts workshops on how Filipinos can better care for the environment.
