GO VEGGIE. Vegetarianism has steadily grown in popularity and public awareness over the past couple of years, . Advocates acknowledge the significance of having vegetarian celebrities as ambassadors to promote the cause on a worldwide scale.
Here in the Philippines, the call to consume only vegetables and fruits instead of meat has drawn support from some popular personalities. PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has been very active in pushing vegetarianism and animal care, at the same time tapping popular celebrities to gain attention for their advocacy.
Since last year, PETA campaigns featuring local celebrities have been launched aggressively. Some of the names include models Borgy Manotoc and girlfriend Ornusa Cadness, bombshell Alicia Mayer and Starstruck luminary Yasmien Kurdi.
