The trio was also present during the talks of two distinguished speakers, Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS) Chief Executive Dr. Ruth Shapiro and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga. The team members learned about the Doing Good Index and how non-government organizations can address the trust deficit from the former, and about climate change and how the private and public sectors can approach risk governance and resilience together from the latter.
