On May 25, the City of Santiago passed a resolution officially promoting the vegetarian diet as part of its efforts to halt climate change and improve public health.
The measure was mainly inspired by Supreme
Master Ching Hai’s SOS and Alternative Living messages on saving the
planet. At the invitation of Santiago City Mayor Amelita S. Navarro, our
Association members arrived on behalf of Supreme Master Ching Hai to
provide more information to Santiago’s officials and citizens about the
benefits of the plant-based diet. With Master’s permission, we would
like to share an excerpt of their report.

Most Gracious Master,
Re: Philippines’ Santiago City Council’s agreement on Mayor’s resolution
On Monday, May 25, Santiago City Mayor Amelita S. Navarro
presented a legal resolution to her City Council to officially promote vegetarianism in the city of Santiago! With all nine council members present, the vice mayor, and the mayor signed the new “Vegetarian Resolution to Promote Vegetarianism in Santiago.”
Later, the Mayor firmly stated that she would lead by example and become a vegetarian
herself,
and advised her city council to do the same! She also requested our
help to train people as SOS seminar speakers, stating her wish to spread
the resolution’s message to the rest of the five provinces in the
northern Philippines region.
Santiago City Mayor Amelita Navarro (F):
From this day, the small thing that transpired today, it will go a long
long way in preserving our planet Earth by inducing all people to go vegetarian – to Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Planet.
VOICE:
We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for allowing us to share this
wonderful news with our viewers, who may wish to know of new
developments in the vital veg trend from around the world. We also thank

Navarro, for your noble-hearted leadership and compassion. And a big

this fragile time. May cities worldwide continue this life-sparing
trend, for the lasting health and protection of all.Please tune in again

Philippines.
