At Tingtingin in Subic, we’ve joined hands with our partners and the Aeta community to develop an organic agroforest farm that’s as resilient as it is sustainable. Together, we’re enriching the soil to cultivate a thriving ecosystem. This initiative is helping Aeta elders and women enhance food security, gain access to sustainable livelihoods, and build a more stable income by selling local produce. Every step we take not only protects the environment but also strengthens the roots of the community for generations to come. 💚

The Subic Bay edition of Level-Up Clean-Up wasn’t just about clearing trash—it was about fostering a community of change-makers!

After a productive day of cleaning, sorting, and learning, our volunteers gathered at the Lighthouse Marina Resort’s function room for a Solutions Showcase. Businesses introduced innovative, eco-friendly products and ideas, from sustainable packaging to recycled materials and more. ♻️

The day ended with a shared meal where volunteers reflected on their experiences and new knowledge, ready to carry forward the mission of sustainability in their own lives. 🌍

Thank you to everyone who joined us for making this event possible!

Last October 13, we brought Level-Up Clean-Up to Subic Bay Freeport Zone, at the Lighthouse Marina Resort. And this wasn’t just any clean-up—it was a meeting of hearts, hands, and cultures. 💚

Our volunteers once again helped clear the coast through a beach clean-up, and participated in the entire process which included waste segregation, weighing, and cleaning of the collected trash.

This time, we were joined by members of nearby aeta tribes, who not only participated in the clean-up but also shared their rich knowledge and deep connection to nature with our volunteers. 🌱

Their stories reminded us of the importance of harmony with the environment and how much we can learn from communities that have lived sustainably for generations. It was a truly meaningful day of collaboration and learning.

Through our collective efforts, we were able to collect 630.50kg of waste!

Big thanks to PARMS, , , and .legacy.foundation for making this event possible!

Event Postponed for Safety: Kanta Ng Kalikasan

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the postponement of Kanta Ng Kalikasan. With the incoming typhoon, we must prioritize the safety of our artists, guests, and especially Mang Kanor who will be traveling from Sierra Madre to join us.

While we are saddened about this, we believe this is the most responsible choice. We look forward to coming together soon to celebrate, share stories, and make a difference.

We’ll be announcing a new date soon, and all tickets will be honored for the rescheduled event. You may also reach out to us for a refund.

Thank you for your understanding and support—let’s stay safe and look forward to a beautiful night together soon! 💚

Artist Spotlight: Jerms

We’re proud to have , a talented artist and a dedicated member of the MAD Travel family, performing at Kanta Ng Kalikasan. Through her music, Jerms shares her passion for nature and her commitment to protecting the Earth for future generations.

When asked, “What inspires you to take action for the environment?” Jerms shared:

“Ang tao at ang kalikasan ay iisa lamang. Kaya’t kailangan natin itong mahalin at protektahan dahil ito ang buhay natin.”

This is something that Nanay Erlinda, the Queen of Tingtingan and a passionate advocate and protector of the forests of Zambales, shared during one of my conversations with her. These words, deeply rooted in wisdom, are a reminder that people and nature are one—that our lives depend on caring for Mother Earth as much as we care for ourselves. This is our home.

In these times of climate crisis, where we see devastating rainfall, flooding, and the suffering of our fellow Filipinos due to climate injustices, I feel I can’t simply stand by. We all have a part to play, no matter how small it may seem. There is no action too small in the fight to protect our planet. Each of us has a role to play, and right now, every effort counts.

While change feels inevitable and injustice is everywhere, I take a moment to look around at the beauty of our country, this beautiful paradise and find hope. I am reminded of how precious our land is and how much we still have to cherish and protect it. Mother Nature herself inspires us to take care of this paradise we can still call home.

Experience Jerms’ inspiring music and message live tomorrow night at Kashmir Live Poblacion.

Breathing in fresh air, feeling sand between our toes, watching the sun rise and fall on mountaintops, we immerse ourselves in nature to create new music. Through our name, we want to reflect the ‘Soul of the Earth,’ and through our music, we want people to love and appreciate what it means to be part of a bigger whole that is our home, Mother Earth.”

When asked, “What inspires you to take action for the environment?” Coeli shared:

After diving into the recycling process at Level-Up Clean-Up, our volunteers gathered for an inspiring Solutions Showcase!

We were thrilled to introduce local businesses and innovators working hard to reduce waste in the Philippines. Volunteers explored a wide range of sustainable products and technologies—from zero-waste personal care items - , compostable packaging , and recycling stations by , to recycled fashion by , furniture by .ph , construction materials by , e waste by and eco-friendly charcoal by ! 🌱♻️

Each waste item can go into its own circular system!

It was a day of learning, connecting, and empowering individuals to start their own waste reduction journeys. Volunteers shared ideas, met like-minded people, and enjoyed a delicious, zero-waste vegan lunch (with any leftovers sent straight to our composting station!).

We’re grateful for the businesses that shared their solutions and for the like-minded community that made this event so special! 💚

Once again thank you to Parms, , , and .legacy.foundation , for making this event possible!

For those that weren’t able to join, stay tuned for the next public event!

At Level-Up Clean-Up, we didn’t just stop at collecting trash—we leveled up and took a deep dive into the entire waste ecosystem! 🚮

Our process began with a beach clean-up—a familiar first step. But instead of leaving it at that, we went further. Volunteers got hands-on experience in two crucial stages: waste segregation and cleaning.

After gathering trash from the coast, we sorted it by material (plastic, glass, styrofoam, metal, and more). This critical step helped us identify which types of waste are most prevalent, this time we focused our efforts on plastic waste, particularly PET bottles.

🔄 Next, volunteers learned the importance of cleaning plastics before recycling. Emptying liquids, washing bottles, and preparing the plastics for recycling allowed them to truly understand what happens behind the scenes after the clean-up.

Last September 29, we managed to collect 69 sacks of waste, a total of 227.7kgs!

We’re glad that our volunteers were able to see and experience firsthand what goes into the recycling process, hopefully giving them a better understanding and a drive to reduce their own use of single-use plastics and properly dispose of and segregate their waste.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this journey and to our partners for making it possible!

24/10/2024

After the videos of the flood in due to Typhoon Kristine in the Philippines, our team checked the en-roads Carbon impact simulator of and on what the flood risk story of Camarines Sur is. Here’s what we found out:

The 2100 prediction for land at risk to flood is happening in 2024, when data is compared to Project Noa (of ) reports - which suggests that our carbon pollution that drives warmer climate and stronger storms is spiralling OUT OF CONTROL.
The climate is getting worse faster than we expected.
Articles this 2024 about “unprecedented heat waves” and carbon sinks not absorbing carbon are part of this story.

Having pushed for more environmental sustainability since 2016, we are happy to see more and more organizations target net zero by 2040 and 2050.
However, today’s events are a big reframe for us as this climate is bad for business, and harmful to humanity.

We need to reduce carbon waste and bring it down to
ZERO ASAP.

We can limit carbon waste by implementing a lot of strategies - a carbon tax, more energy efficiency, reduce deforestation, reduce agricultural emissions, reduce single use items and increase nature based solutions. We can save some land from being permanently under threat of floods.

Each kilo of carbon reduced counts and being mindful of how we consume, how we give, and how we live are critical.

To learn more please check out https://madtravel.org/ pages/resources for suggestions on carbon reduction that you and your organization can commit to.

But for now, stay dry, stay safe and let’s help out those hit by the storm. Once it passes, let’s get to work on preventing even greater climate catastrophes.

Thank you for the video Melvin Baldy and

Our hearts go out to the communities that have been heavily affected by the recent typhoon. Homes, roads, and local infrastructure have suffered severe damage, and many families are in urgent need of support.

As we experience our 11th typhoon of the year, we’re reminded of how climate change is hurting our economy (billions in damages and lost productivity) and endangering our lives (flood, heat, etc).

Now, more than ever, we must take action to protect both our planet and our communities - and nature based solutions, while critical, are not enough - we need to reduce carbon emissions wherever we can. Check www.madtravel.org/pages/resources for ideas for climate solutions you can take.

We are passionate about restoring ecosystems and want to make clean ups more impactful. Last September 29, we came together for “Level-Up Clean-Up” at the Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park in support of International Coastal Cleanup Day. 🌍

Our volunteers helped clear the coast through a beach clean-up but through talks, gained a deeper understanding of the entire process which included waste segregation, weighing, and cleaning.

They also had a chance to learn about different recycling and waste reduction technologies through various eco enterprises. The morning clean up left everyone hopeful as they went home with real solutions for reducing and recycling waste.

It was also a lot of fun getting to know each other while sharing a zero-waste vegan meal.

Big thanks to our partners, PARMS, , , and .legacy.foundation , for making this event possible!

Thank you to our enterprise partners who joined the Sunday morning fun!

We had so much fun getting Tipsy With Sustainability at .ph 🍹🧉🍸

Our afternoon was spent crafting unique cocktails while connecting with people who practice or are curious about sustainability, and what a great experience it was!

A big thank you to .ph for helping make this event possible. We had an amazing time enjoying drinks, forming connections, and most importantly, saving seeds for our partner communities.

With rambutan, mango, calamansi, banana, and more in the mix, we’re excited to incorporate these into our agroforestry projects. 🥭
