The cover story of our magazine features Nanette Medved-Po and the inspiring women behind her Aling Tindera project. These women are true heroes who have created a waste-to-cash initiative promoting economic sustainability. They collect plastic from their community and sell it to Nanette's advocacy, which reduces plastic pollution and improves the quality of life in the area. The story takes a closer look at Nanette's journey and how her initiative has transformed the lives of the women involved in Aling Tindera. It is a testament to the power of one person's idea to spark change and make a real difference.

This month, we are excited to introduce you to six ecowarriors, each making a unique and significant impact in their fields. From a conglomerate's CFO and Sustainability Officer to a geologist and an aeronautical engineer, these individuals represent the diverse range of people leading the way in sustainable practices. We also had the privilege of discussing the government's initiative to rehabilitate the Pasig River with Secretary Jose Acuzar of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and renowned architect Paulo Alcazaren. And don't miss our exclusive story on OceanX, the world's most advanced marine research vessel, currently on a multi-year expedition in Southeast Asia.
