Senator Cynthia Villar has expressed hope that people will see the vision of “Linis Ganda’ of the late Leonarda Navato Camacho or simply “Narda,” a great environmentalist.

She said ‘Linis Ganda’ is a vision where every sector of our society lives out the values of waste segregation, composting, and recycling, reaping the benefits of a clean and healthy environment.

“I that everyone touched by her dream will see this vision become a reality,” said Villar in her Eulogy for Camacho.

“Narda’s lasting legacy is measured not just by the policies she helped shape, such as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act and the Philippine Clean Air Act, or the accolades she earned, like the United Nations Merit Award, the Most Inspiring Woman from the Philippine Commission on Women, the Ilaw ng Tahanan Award from Meralco, the Woman of Global Distinction Award, and the Rotary International Service Award,” added Villar.

“Her foresight and drive for sustainable living have inspired a movement that drives forward environmental stewardship,” also said the senator.

The chairperson of the Senate environment committee noted that Camacho’s

exceptional work, particularly in efficient solid waste management, has influenced and set a benchmark in the field.

She likewise acknowledged Camacho for having been a significant influence in shaping her own environmental programs, which have been providing livelihood opportunities to many of our marginalized communities nationwide.
