ASEAN Heritage Parks 3-notebook and sticker set for FFP

For the ASEAN Heritage Parks (AHP) Forum hosted by the Philippines on September 8-10, 2026, Forest Foundation Philippines tapped me to develop and create tokens for the Forum’s resource persons and VIP guests. We wanted tokens that were both useful and impactful so we chose chocolate gift sets and coaster sets.

The Forum’s theme was “Navigating a Sustainable Future for ASEAN Heritage Parks.” In line with this and with the Foundation’s guidance, I illustrated four Philippine ASEAN Heritage Parks: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park, and Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park with each artwork highlighting the site’s flora and fauna alongside the people and produce connected to it.

Presenting at the ASEAN Heritage Parks forum

I was also honored to present on Day 2 of the Forum, sharing our collaborative advocacy and the projects that led me there. It can all be traced back to my first collaboration with Forest Foundation Philippines in 2018 which led to many (many, many) meaningful projects – both with FFP and other organizations and clients – since. (More pics and stories are on this IG post.)
