With just a year left in the term of Senator Loren Legarda, who has championed the Philippines’ participation since 2013, one would wonder about the project’s continuity. One of the things the senator is working on is creating a Department of Culture to consolidate all national efforts to produce, promote, and preserve our culture. The bill is currently in interpolation stage.
In observance of the World Environment Day today, Senator Loren Legarda has renewed her call to show a sense of responsibility and accountability towards protecting the environment and preservation of the country’s ecosystems.
Legarda, a known advocate of environmental conservation and sustainable development, addressed the 4th Asia-Pacific Coral Reef Symposium at the Marco Polo Hotel Plaza in Cebu City yesterday just in time for the World Environment Day.

“The installation of this year’s Philippine Pavilion is an artistic narrative of our history and our identity that presents an argument of how the Philippine-built environment depicts traces of colonialism in our lives,” says Sen. Loren Legarda, the prime architect of the Philippine participation in the Venice Biennale.

And what an honor it is for the Philippines to showcase side by side with the 62 other countries participating in the architecture exhibition with the theme Freespace. Overall biennale curators are Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara.
