My parents, they are street food vendors in the Philippines, and I lack so many resources, but I never let that stop me from reaching my dreams and my goals.' 'My advocacy since I was 14 years old is environmental awareness, and I have been actively advocating to the youth in regards of environmental issues cause my mission is to show them that we can help our Earth and we can regain back our healthy ecosystem. And if someone as dedicated as I wins, I believe that she deserves it so much. No matter how rocky the road is she was facing, she is still here, standing firm for her core values and strength and I believe that is me.'
