After the final round of Q&A, Ibasco was the clear winner of the night. The final question was "Our government's slogan is 'Change is coming.' What change do you want to see in terms of environmental policies in the country?" According to her, the change that she wants to see is the implementation of Carbon Tax, which can be investing on renewable energy so our world can be a better, greener and habitable place for the whole humanity.
