Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Manila, Philippines — August 2025. The Philippines will proudly take its place on the global stage of sustainability this October as officers and partners of the Bayanihan Para Sa Kalikasan Movement (BKM) officially confirmed their participation in the Asia Pacific Circular Economy Roundtable & Hotspot 2025 (APCER 2025) in Taipei, Taiwan.

Leading the delegation are Engineer Eric Raymundo, President of BKM,  VP Internal Relations of ENPAP 4.0 (formerly Energy Efficiency Practitioners Association of the Philippines) and Technical Director of Aksyon Kalikasan Org., a staunch advocate for green productivity and pollution prevention; Rosauro “Ross” Flores Del Rosario, Trustee of BKM, Founder of the multi -awarded online platform WazzupPilipinas.com and the Umalohokan Influencers and Content Creators Workshops and Fest, and currently the External Vice President of the Green Party of the Philippines; and Raymund Aaron, Banana Chief of Villa Socorro Farm, a pioneering agro-enterprise in sustainable farming and social entrepreneurship.

Their registrations were officially confirmed by APCER organizers through a welcome email, cementing the presence of Filipino advocates at one of the region’s most important sustainability events.

A Global Platform for Circular Innovation

The Asia Pacific Circular Economy Roundtable & Hotspot is a premier gathering of policymakers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and activists championing the circular economy — a model that redefines growth by designing out waste, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.

By joining this international forum, BKM’s delegates will not only exchange ideas with global thought leaders but also amplify the Philippines’ efforts in addressing pressing environmental challenges such as plastic pollution, waste mismanagement, and climate resilience.

“This event is not just a conference. It is a convergence of solutions,” said Eric Raymundo, underscoring the urgency of embedding circular economy principles into Philippine industries.

Filipino Voices in a Regional Movement

For Ross Flores Del Rosario, who balances his roles as a trustee of BKM, media influencer, and political green leader, the event represents a unique opportunity to merge advocacy, communication, and policy.

“As part of the Green Party of the Philippines, I see APCER 2025 as a venue where Filipino perspectives can contribute to shaping regional strategies for a circular future. It is also a chance to bring home innovations that can empower our communities,” Del Rosario remarked.

Meanwhile, Raymund Aaron, deeply rooted in farm-to-community initiatives at Villa Socorro Farm, views the roundtable as a fertile ground for strengthening agri-based circular models that benefit both people and planet. “Circularity in agriculture is not just about waste reduction — it is about restoring dignity and sustainability to food systems,” Aaron emphasized.

A Call for Collective Action

The presence of these three delegates signifies more than participation — it is a statement that the Philippines is committed to being part of a global circular economy transformation. BKM, true to its mission of uniting stakeholders for sustainability, is positioning itself as both a catalyst and collaborator in this movement.

“Bayanihan has always been the Filipino way — a spirit of collective action. At APCER 2025, we aim to extend that bayanihan globally, working hand in hand with our Asia Pacific neighbors toward a regenerative economy,” Raymundo declared.

Looking Ahead

The APCER 2025 program promises high-level discussions, policy roadmaps, and immersive exchanges designed to accelerate circular economy practices across industries and communities. Delegates will also be invited to give feedback on Taiwan’s proposed circular policy framework, a process expected to inspire similar initiatives across the region.

With the confirmed participation of Raymundo, Del Rosario, and Aaron, the Philippines takes a confident step into the global dialogue on sustainability. Their engagement will not only spotlight Filipino ingenuity and resilience but also push forward the vision of a greener, more sustainable future for all.

As the countdown begins to October in Taipei, one message resonates clearly from the Philippine contingent: the time for circular action is now, and the Philippines is ready to lead with courage, innovation, and bayanihan.
