I have a lot of very talented and accomplished relatives, so whenever something big happens in the family, I make sure to share it with the world.
My cousin, Anna Oposa, was one of 9 Pinoys chosen as among the 2012 "Young Global Shapers" of the World Economic Forum (WEF). She was chosen along with Mayor Maria Carmela Alvarez (Palawan), Ponce Ernest Samaniego, Jay Michael Jaboneta, Dr. Bryan Albert Lim, Eleanor Rosa Pinugu, Mildred Ople, television host Bianca Gonzalez, and Alexandra Amanda Eduque.
As quoted from The Philippine Star (01/16/12):
"'The Young Global Shapers are exceptional achievers who initiated projects that have positive impact in the community'" - ...Karen Davila.
....Oposa, 23, co-founded the Save the Philippine Seas movement to protect the world's richest marine life, and "Isko Cleans UP", a waste management program in the University of the Philippines-Diliman. She is the daughter of Ramon Magsaysay awardee, environmentalist lawyer Tony Oposa."
I am so proud of my cousin!
It's nice to know that there are still young people out there trying to save the country.
