The urgent need to protect the Coral Triangle's marine ecosystem

Treasure Find 28 -- Expedition to the World of Tubbataha


BAYANIHAN REPUBLIC:

When I went to the picturesque Batanes, I thought nothing can equal that experience anymore.  But our Bayanihan Republic has a lot more to offer.  The Philippines is a paradise country and each corner of the archipelago offers something unique.  And that is why we also need to be extra careful and responsible about taking care of our environment as majority of our country's attractions are gifts of nature. 

I've been a wildlife enthusiast since I was a child.   And that fascination led me to becoming more concerned about the environment.  As most of the problems encountered by the wildlife is largely because of the loss of their homes.  That same interest also made me dream of being part of National Geographic or Discovery Channel or Animal Planet and capture nature's spectacular moments myself.  But destiny led me to a new direction.  And that new direction led me to having a more pro-active work for the environment, it led me to helping out WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) Philippines.
