4. Hundreds of reports on animal cruelty,
irresponsible pet ownership, hit and run cases,
abandonment and many more on a daily basis.
Having to realize though that we actually have the
power to change and transform lives, both of
humans and animals is what makes this advocacy
very important to me.

5. Not all would know this but the Philippines is unique by
being the center of marine biodiversity in the world – we
have the greatest number of marine critters anywhere
on this planet. This biodiversity translates into tangible
and intangible things we need to survive, like seafood,
coastal protection, white sand beaches (!), waves to surf
on, and the air that we breathe (more than 50% of the
oxygen on the planet is produced by plankton). Our life
depends on the sea. It is not only important to me, but to
you and everyone else as well.
-Marine Wildlife Watch of the
Philippines
6. Campaign
is any series of actions or events that are
meant to achieve a particular result.

13. This change can occur in an array of
settings: governmental, health, social,
economic and legal, among others.
•Advocacy is also about helping people
find their voice.

campaigns in Social Media, TV
Commercials, YouTube and other internet
platforms.
