Anti-coal advocates and Greenpeace volunteers from Bacolod will probably tell you that veteran actor Joel Torre is up there in their list of favorite celebrities.

Joel Torre has been enthusiastically supporting the Greenpeace Climate
and Energy Campaign since last year. And it’s a cause that he
approaches with the same commitment he does acting. The actor visited
the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior during the Bacolod stop of the
Philippine leg of the Asia Energy Revolution Ship Tour and was a
special guest during the ship’s send off party at Bacolod’s Bredco port
where he spoke in front of his fellow Bacolodians to continue rejecting
coal and promoting the development of renewable energy in Negros
Occidental. He filmed a 15-second TV spot in dialect on-board the
Rainbow Warrior and gamely posed for photo-ops, and won over Bacolod
Greenpeace volunteers and Greenpeace staff by just being himself and
enjoying the send-off party like an old friend on a relaxing visit.
His next visit was a very pleasant surprise: he dropped in to say hello during the Greenpeace Christmas party in Manila. It’s not hard to imagine that, like the other stars who have shared a lot of their time supporting the clean energy campaign, Joel Torre must have been a Greenpeace volunteer in his previous life. We’re happy and grateful he’s sharing his star power with us to call for a massive switch to clean, renewable energy to stop climate change.
