LOREN LEGARDA: Pinyapel Special Setting 

Message of Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda
Pinyapel Special Setting
January 22, 2024 | 2:00 PM |Senate of the Philippines
My fellow leaders and public servants, a pleasant afternoon. This exhibition is not merely a display but a living testament to our collective journey towards sustainable and innovative development.
The Pinyapel initiative, spearheaded by the Design Center of the Philippines, stands out as an example of our commitment to sustainable and circular design principles. By ingeniously repurposing agricultural waste, Pinyapel showcases the transformative potential of often overlooked resources in crafting various product applications.
This endeavor raises the bar for the design and value of Philippine products and makes a meaningful contribution to the global movement advocating for environmentally friendly practices and a holistic approach to sustainable development - economic, cultural, social, and environmental sustainability. As we gather here during the Zero Waste Month and the Philippine Tropical Fabric Month, it’s crucial to underscore Pinyapel’s commitment to closing the waste loop through its quadruple bottom line approach to circular design, deeply rooted in the ‘Malasakit’ principle of the Design Center of the Philippines-an ethos that embraces compassionate environmental stewardship and sense of accountability towards protecting and preserving the country’s ecosystems.
