1st Philippine Environment Summit
When I started teaching raw food classes, I didn’t see myself becoming an advocate of raw food. I just wanted to teach and move away from being an advocate. It felt too tiring at that time working for an environmental health NGO and always trying to convince people why environmental health is important. But I guess the experiences we have in our lives are placed there for us to do more and more and more.
So after teaching for a few years, I was invited to give a talk on the benefits of a raw vegan lifestyle. With me as speakers were Tessa Cerbolles of the Food and Drug Administration, Rachel Arguelles who talked about back to basics on food, and Dr. Jaime Galvez Tan, formerly with the Department of Health and one of the biggest advocate of natural, healthy lifestyle. It was such a privilege to be there and again I know I am at the right place.
