Senator Loren Legarda formalized on Monday her vice presidential bid under a “green platform of governance” that would wage a humanitarian campaign for lasting peace, economic recovery and environmental protection.

“I have answered the call of our people to make the Office of the Vice President more relevant in addressing the inter-related problems of hunger and poverty and the very serious threat brought about by climate change,” said Loren in filing her certificate of candidacy (COC) at the Commission on Election.

“Our problems are varied and grave and we also must grapple with Climate Change, with its threat to lives and properties, our agriculture, industries, and our economy,” said Loren.

“With my partnership with Senator Manny Villar, we can now truly say that the majority of our poor countrymen are now represented in this,our people’s most important fight to bring about meaningful change.”

Loren said she would continue working for effective governance, without which, she said, there'd be no honest-to-goodness delivery of public service.
