Climate change activists paint Maine Mendoza as Mother Earth in Italy

Filipino environmental activist Naderev "Yeb" Saño is on the final leg of his journey to climate change hotspots around the world to press for an accord at a United Nations summit this year.

Led by his brother AG Saño, environmental activists painted a mural on the wall featuring Madre Della Terra or Mother Earth with the message "Una Terra, Una Famiglia Umana" or "One Earth, One Human Family" in the Italy stop at the municipality of Galliate.

The image of Mother Earth was modeled after Maine Mendoza from Eat Bulaga's Kalyeserye.

AG Saño does it again. A masterpiece in Galliate, Italy. The woman portrayed as Madre Della Terra looks familiar. #AlDub #PeoplesPilgrimage Albert Lozada Alan Silayan Desiree Llanos Dee Rodne Rodiño Galicha

Yeb Saño resigned earlier this year as the Philippine government's envoy to the climate talks to concentrate on his march to Paris.

"I need to go on this pilgrimage together with the people who believe in this fight. I cannot be walking around the world and still get paid with taxpayers' money," he said. —Bianca Rose Dabu/JST, GMA News
