The group added: “As the Philippines is one of the world’s most impacted countries when it comes to climate-related disasters, YACAP activists are clamoring for immediate action from world leaders and big businesses in their five keypoint demands: declaration of climate emergency, accountability from large-scale polluters, stronger climate education, protection of environment defenders, and adoption of long-term policies to address climate change.”

The structured floor-length dress is the stuff made for a princess. With embellished crystals, the strapped dress has a flattering upper body that furthers to the floor with a sexy slit. The accessories were kept to a minimum: a huge pair of diamond earring and layered bracelets.

The creative director of the shoot Eldzs Mejia let us in on the shoot’s concept. “We wanted the dress to standout on its own. For the set, we just kept it simple with a painterly backdrop, just want the dress needed,” he tells Metro.Style.

True enough, the photos lensed by BJ Pascual gave life to the dress and was a perfect way to celebrate Heart’s 40th birthday. Finished off by Iza Sim’s styling and glam by Ghil Sayo and Memay Francisco, this shoot is truly a special one thus far.
