Mr. ILLAC ANGELO A. DIAZ

Founder and Executive Director, Liter of Light, MyShelter Foundation

Mr. Illac Diaz is a social entrepreneur working to empower communities in the Philippines and around the world through several pioneering programs in rammed earth, bamboo, and PET plastic bottle construction. Illac founded the MyShelter Foundation in 2006 to promote grassroots sustainable development through capacity-building and employment-generating projects. Introducing groundbreaking social enterprise, appropriate low-cost technologies, and alternative construction in the Philippines, the MyShelter Foundation has pioneered projects such as the Pier One Seafarer’s Dormitory, the Design Against the Elements (DAtE) competition, and the Bottle School Project, improving the lives of Filipinos in rural communities through the creation of classrooms and clinics made of recycled materials like plastic bottles.

Mr. Diaz realized that while he could build innovative, sustainable structures, he had no way to light buildings constructed far from the electrical grid. His solution to this challenge led to the Liter of Light movement. Illac’s latest venture, Liter of Light (Isang Litrong Liwanag), is the world’s first grassroots green lighting program bringing low-cost, zero-carbon solar bottle bulbs to underprivileged communities worldwide. By empowering local entrepreneurs and marginalized groups like prison detainees and trash pickers, this initiative shows how simple solutions powered by human hands bring the green revolution to the bottom 99%. Since 2013, Liter of Light has empowered the lives of over one million people a year across 32 countries. Each of these hand-built solar lights reduces carbon emissions by 1000 kg and allows each of us to have a stake in creating a cleaner, greener future. Mr. Diaz’s vision is to improve one million lives a year and to reframe the way people think about solutions to climate change not as a product of industrialized nations, but as a gift that developing countries can share with the rest of the world.

Mr. Diaz holds a Masters Degree in Social Entrepreneurship from the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), a Masters Degree in Urban Studies and Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School. When he is not traveling the world installing innovative solar lighting solutions with Liter of Light, Mr. Diaz is a professor at the Open Online Academy leading students in the creation of post-disaster architectural designs. Mr. Diaz is the first Filipino to win the Zayed Future Energy Prize, considered to be the Nobel Prize for clean energy, in 2015. He is the private sector representative to DUBAI EXPO 2020. Celebrating culture, collaboration and innovation, EXPO, whose theme is “connecting minds, creating the future”, will be visited by over 25 million people who will convene on Dubai from October 2021 to April 2022.

Ms. ABBA NAPA

Restaurateur
Co-Founder of The Moment Group

Ms. Abba Napa is an entrepreneur, multi-awarded restaurateur, and advocate for sustainable restaurant practices in the Philippines. She co-founded the retail company that brought the global brand Havaianas to Philippine malls, and a decade later in 2012 co-founded The Moment Group together with her partners Eliza Antonino and Jon Syjuco believing that Manila’s dining scene was “having a moment”. Since then, the company has gone on to become one of the industry’s most prolific—opening one restaurant every 57 days and building a portfolio of 12 brands and 48 restaurants in and outside of Metro Manila. Its goal today is to continue creating food for more Filipinos to enjoy.

Ms. Napa leads Moment’s Creative Development Wing and drives the incubation and innovation of its brands, concepts, and products. These include wholly owned home-grown brands such as Manam, 8Cuts, Ooma, Mo’ Cookies, Bank Bar, Mecha Uma, and Moment’s ownership of the Philippine franchise of the award-winning global xiaolongbao brand Din Tai Fung, which have all constantly generated 30-minute waits and lines on a daily basis, caught media attention, created market demand, and grown a community of loyal patrons. Moment’s dishes are constantly part of annual best lists of food publications, most notably Manam’s House Crispy Sisig and Mo’ Cookies’ Chocolate Chip Cookie being awarded No. 1 in Manila by Spot.ph; Mecha Uma being included in the Diners Club 50 Best Discoveries, and Bank Bar ranking among CNN International’s list of 7 Most Intriguing Speakeasies in the World.

In 2020, Moment, under Ms. Napa’s leadership and that of her co-founders, launched two new platforms to quickly respond to both the need to nourish and the resolve to continue business amidst the pandemic: an in-house e-commerce website momentfood.com, which supports contactless ordering, and a delivery platform known as Mo’Go, powered by an in-house fleet of delivery riders. Moment also launched a frozen foods product line, branded as Moment the Grocer, available on Moment’s platforms as well as through third-party online marketplaces, such as Shopee and Lazada, and key supermarket chains, such as SM Supermarkets; as well as a ready-to-heat line, branded as Manam Express, which is available in 7-Eleven’s network of over 2,000 convenience stores throughout Luzon and key cities nationwide. Another initiative was Project Nourish, which enabled anybody to pledge a frontliner meal for P50 through Moment’s platforms. To date, Project Nourish has served over 91,000 frontliner meals, and counting.

Ms. Napa was named Restaurateur of the Year by Esquire in 2012, one of Go Negosyo’s Top Filipino Entrepreneurs in 2016, and one of Tatler’s 50 young game changers shaping the Philippines’ future in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Outside of Moment, she sits on the boards of both WWF Philippines’ Next Generation Council, where she is responsible for promoting sustainable restaurant practices, and Resto PH, the industry’s newly formed association whose membership of F&B businesses represents now over 1,000 restaurants and over 18,000 employees nationwide.
