This year, Banag-Banag chose the diamond to symbolize the multifaceted strength, resilience and sparkle of the world we live in, through the interconnected facets of land, sea and sky. The sparkle is dimmed, lost even, through years of constant abuse, neglect, pollution and over exploitation.

A change in consciousness and awareness perhaps can help reduce the threat by preserving the splendour, beauty and sparkle of our planet, and that we are stewards working for its protection. Dr. Gil Marvel P. Tabucanon
