She comes from a family of activists and has been protesting for human rights and gender justice since she was a young child. An organizer of climate strikes since 2019, she is now the convenor and national coordinator of YACAP (Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines) — the Fridays for Future of our country.

With her indigenous roots on her mom’s side and her dad a land defender that is a victim of enforced state disappearance, she vows to continue the resistance of her family. She strongly advocates that human rights and climate justice cannot be achieved without the other.
