When people talk about
Pinoy Pride, discussions are automatically linked to Filipinos whose names are known around the globe; it could be an athlete who has had several feats, a singer who is part Filipino, or a well-known philanthropist who had his or her humble beginnings in the country.
But there is one more thing that Filipinos need to be proud of and it has little to do with names and titles — the Philippines is considered rich in biodiversity, it is home to 70 per cent of the world's plants and animal species and was even considered one of the top global conservation areas.
