4 Philippine Showbiz Today December 8 - 21, 2015 Dingdong presents a million signatures at Climate Change conference in Paris Actor Dingdong Dantes is in the City of Lights for the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (2015 COP21). The 2015 COP21 opened last Nov. 30 and it aims to pursue a legally binding and universal agreement of keeping global warming below 2°C. The event will run until Dec. 11, attended by numerous global leaders, including French President Francois Hollande, US President Barack Obama, Chinese President Xi Jinping, as well as Hollywood A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio. Also participating are 25,000 delegates from government, intergovernmental organizations, UN agencies, NGOs and civil society. In an earlier interview with PEP, Dantes expressed his desire to be at the summit to manifest Filipinos’ support for the effort. He has brought with him more than one million signatures gathered as part of the One Million Filipino Youth Voices Campaign spearheaded by the National Youth Commission (NYC), which he chairs. “Magkakaroon ng turnover ng mga signatures na ’yun sa President ng France, na siyang umuupo na president ng COP (Conference of Parties) 21 this year. ’Yung pag-turn over ng signatures ay isang manifestation ng mga boses ng mga Filipinos, particularly the Filipino youth na pumirma roon,” he said. The original plan was to gather at least a million signatures but with 1.2 million Pinoys pledging their support, Dantes is more than elated. “Sila pa lang, ilang milyon na ang pirma nila. Automatic dagdag na agad ’yun sa campaign natin, so malaking bagay…because it strengthens our position, not just in number. Kapag nandiyan na ang larangan ng faith, religion, mas nagiging personal talaga (ang endeavor),” he told PEP. Dantes is a first-time father, with wife Marian Rivera giving birth to their daughter Maria Letizia only last week. He admitted to actually having had second thoughts about his Paris trip, sharing how difficult it is for him to be away from his family at this time. However, he maintained, “Mahalaga rin ang gagawin ko du’n. Really, kaya ako mas ginanahang gawin ’yun, para sa kanyang kinabukasan.”• - N. Ramos, MB He told GMA News, “We are now more than inspired to continue the work that we started. Our hard work has initially paid off and we are up to the challenge in breathing life to what was once a huge task.” Dantes maintained, however, the fight is far from over. “Let us all move fast enough almost on double time before everything turns from bad to worse. We cannot wait. The time to act is now. Our dreams for us and our children will never be realized unless we collectively take the cudgel for a better future.” Dantes is grateful to the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) for supporting the campaign.
