Keynote Speech: “Is Climate Justice A Human Right?”
I am an environmentalist and a climate activist and one of the reasons I am such is because of my two sons who are now in their 20s. By the year 2030, they will be in their 30s
by the year 2050 they will be in their late 50s. I want them to live in a safe, healthy, resilient and sustainable environment.
Welcome Remarks: The Necessary Alternatives: Balancing Energy, Health and the Climate Challenge
I welcome you today to this gathering of pioneers, a generation of passionate individuals that could make the future of the world livable. We are here to talk about how climate change, our health and clean energy are interconnected.

Privilege Speech: Towards COP21

Mr. President,
Three weeks ago, Typhoon Lando (Koppu) battered Luzon provinces. It lingered over the country for a week, affecting more than three million citizens and causing damages to agriculture and infrastructure worth Php11 Billion.

Eulogy for Senator Boy Herrera
He was a man who valued work and the workers. He was a champion of our nation’s laborers, one who cared for the rights and well-being of the millions of Filipinos who toil to keep the country running but who usually reap the least of its riches. As the general secretary and vice president of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines he stayed with the millions of workforce, a leader that stood up for their causes, while fighting for their rights and welfare.
