Senator Loren Legarda’s New Year’s Day Message

LET US WELCOME THE NEW YEAR WITH A GRATEFUL HEART, AS WE RISE ABOVE THE ADVERSITIES AND BRING WITH US THE LESSONS OF 2010.
Let 2011 prepare us for the years ahead through measurable and significant improvements in our response to environmental challenges and climate change.
Let this be a year for everyone to nurture nature, and for leaders to ensure that we bring our soil, seas, forests and mountains back to health and vibrancy.
Let our minds and hearts be filled with genuine concern for the environment—so we will work together faster, better, and with greater effect.
I wish all Filipinos a Happy New Year and I reaffirm my commitment to work for a greener, cleaner and safer Philippines for all.
