A.H.A. Handaan Na! envisioned a community-led initiative in approaching climate change starting from food and nutrition – how this phenomenon is anchored on the plates in our table. In the efforts to engage the community, concessionaires were carefully selected and invited to take part in the event. These include Hyacel from Barangay Palaris, who sold palabok and lugaw; Maginhawa Eco-Store, a podcast speaker; and the Persons With Determination (PWD), referred to by a member of the Samahang Manininda ng UP Campus.
