The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines’ Earth Exhibit initiative is set to wrap up this December with a fundraising auction featuring curated items from partner local artists, celebrities, and WWF-PH ambassadors, in partnership with Gavel & Block by Salcedo Auctions and Bid for the Future.

The auction, which aims to raise funds to provide food assistance and livelihood equipment for 209 partner Dumagats and their families in Ipo Watershed, will feature over 100 art pieces and pre-loved items by celebrities, including pop diva Kuh Ledesma and WWF-PH Ambassadors Pia Wurtzbach, Rovilson Fernandez, and Enzo Pineda.

“Definitely, artists have a voice.  They have fans that will listen to them. When they speak, people are attentive especially when it is a positive message. We could be more purposeful with the messages that we put out there whether on social media or even  with the things that we wear like t-shirts with positive messages. There are also many artists who show their homes to share ideas. The way artists speak also influence their followers. People listen when they speak loudly about causes like the conservation of our environment and most specially for the far-flung places. When  artists are doing their part to use their voices and their names to send out powerful messages to restore, to protect, and to conserve our environment, then we have done a good service to our country and our fellowmen, ang ating mga kababayans,” said Ledesma, who is an active supporter of WWF-PH’s fundraising efforts.
