Filipina earn praise from Michelle Obama for conservation efforts
Excerpt
A Filipina environmentalist earned praise from former United States First Lady Michelle Obama for her conservation efforts. In celebration of Earth Day, Obama hailed licensed Filipina fisheries technologist Carmela Bagum for “working to protect our planet.” “Carmela grew up in a fishing village, where her passion for marine life pushed her to become a licensed fisheries technologist–despite the floods and typhoons that often closed her school,” Obama wrote on Instagram.
