MANILA — After her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2023 Anna Lakrini pursued a degree in nutritional science, which later became her advocacy for Miss Globe 2023.
Working to promote sustainable agriculture at the Department of Science and Technology Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development, Lakrini hopes to address the issue of hunger in the Miss Globe pageant. "So many people don't know that we already have so many vegetables in the Philippines that we can grow on their own, that we can have in the palengke that we can buy and those vegetables are so nutritious and I hope that if we cant teach them how to grow them, ensure that they don't die from malnutrition, or they don't lack any nutrition for the day to day activities," she added.
"For me, it is really important to use my educational background because I notice so many people notice on the street every single day struggling with getting food," shesaid.
