Join Sustina at Earth Week Happy Hours on April 25

This Earth Day, we're skipping the panel. Five planeteers, five organizations, one big mixer.

Sustina, GainForest, Waves for Water, Masungi Georeserve, ABS-CBN Foundation, and YACAP are hosting Earth Week Happy Hours on April 25 at The Astbury in Poblacion, Makati—a mixer for storytellers, climate advocates, and anyone passionate about the planet we live in.

The night is built around five Planeteer Stations, each held by an expert with a story to tell in five minutes. Earth is Masungi Georeserve, covering reforestationLocal Climate & EcologyReforestationThe active replanting and ecological restoration of degraded forest lands.

Heart is ABS-CBN Foundation, on community and storytelling. Guests move freely between stations before the floor opens for an evening of food, drinks, and music.

No panels. No keynotes. Just 80 people in a room designed for good conversation and easy introductions. The goal is simple: leave with new friends, new collaborators, and new stories worth sharing.

If you have a platform, a passion, or a cause you can’t stop talking about, this night is for you.

Admission is free, but space is limited and all RSVPs are subject to confirmation. Register on Luma and wait for a confirmation email.
