19 year-old Sam is serious about this pageant challenge after starting her Green Time Project where she speaks to students in different high schools on the importance of preserving Mother Earth by setting aside specific activities in a day to actually do tasks that support the 5Rs for the environment – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew and Respect.
Once the beehive of activities for Miss Philippines Earth 2017 resumes after the Lenten break, trust Sam to continue proving that she is a strong contender for the title currently being held by Loren Mar Artajos. She is keen on winning the top prize so that she can gain the bigger platform to push her green advocacy even more.
Good luck, Sam! 🙂
