What does it truly take to protect a coastline, policies from afar, or people who stand guard day after day?
Meet the sustainability leader whose company ensures that bantay dagats of Batangas receive fair compensation, training, and the support needed for decent work.
These coastal guardians patrol their waters with courage, monthly reports, and unwavering dedication despite only modest honorariums.
See how empowering them transformed informal community patrols into structured conservation efforts, extending from ocean protection to forest stewardship sequestering over 22,900 tons of CO₂ annually.
Tune in as this episode reveals a powerful truth: lasting environmental change happens when we uplift those already fighting on the front lines.

Can restoring a coastline also restore livelihoods, educate students, and protect communities all at once?

Thessa Ramos proved it's possible by weaving solutions together instead of solving problems in isolation.

Tune in as we explore the art of connecting the dots between environment, livelihood, and resilience.

Climate data tells you where flooding happens, but it doesn't tell you how staff and workers help people and the environment adapt to risks.

The people navigating these realities every day have already mapped the patterns, identified the vulnerabilities, and often designed their own solutions.

In this second episode of the AlterCOP 30 Philippines miniseries, three catalysts reveal what happens when communities stop being consulted and start leading—turning lived experience into real plans and solutions.

This is a conversation about what becomes possible when we start asking including communities in finding answers.

The future isn't regenerative when communities are consulted—it's regenerative when they become the catalysts

This is a pilot episode of the AlterCOP 30 Philippines' miniseries where we feature the stories of humans behind the program.

When 26 million students lose school to typhoons and farmers earn a mere fraction from their produce, two young Filipinos decided they couldn't just watch anymore.

One taught themselves to build education boxes for disaster-displaced kids. The other coded a platform from YouTube tutorials to fix a broken food system with nine layers of middlemen.

They're proving you don't need a business degree or perfect solutions—just the courage to start and the willingness to learn as you go.

Walkable cities. Comprehensive transport system. Dignified housing. Multi-purpose facilities. Less pollution. Iilan lang ‘yan sa mga aspeto na bumubuo sa isang sustainable and healthy city.

With the continuous growth of all the big cities in Asia, it is no doubt that Metro Manila is considered in this discussion as being the only commercial hub in the Philippines.

Ang culture at heritage ay napakahalaga hindi lang sa pagrerepresenta ng ating napakayamang kasaysayan pero pati na rin sa paniniguro na naiintindihan natin ang ating kasarinlan upang makamit ang totoong progress.

If we keep destroying historic buildings and natural environments, when will we finally stop and realize their importance to the sustainability of our nation? Kapag lahat ay giniba na? How can we then save a dwindling Filipino heritage?

Napakabilis ng paglago ng ekonomiya sa panahon ngayon, lalung-lalo na dahil sa teknolohiya na nagpapadali at nagpapaganda ng buhay para sa lahat.

However, the very things that made modernization abundant are also the same reasons why we are slowly neglecting the very foundation of our souls — our culture and heritage.

Nagmistulan nang lifeless ang mga lungsod at malimit nang makilala ang ating kasarinlan sa mga nagsisilakihang mga gusali.
