Luntiang Pilipinas (Luntian) first nominee Michael Ubac said that it was time to elect a green party to Congress.
“It has been 21 years since marginalized sectors were allowed representation in the House of Representatives via the party-list system, and in that time no green party has ever been elected to Congress. That, we believe, has to change given the grave threats posed to our environment,” said Ubac.
Ubac, a graduate of the University of the Philippines and Harvard University, said that Luntian has a clear platform founded on its four pillars: regreening (forest parks, backyard gardening, and mangrove growing); solid waste management; coastal and marine resource management; and climate change adaptation.
