Bamboo harmony of UN laureate and 'bamboo queen'

CAROLINA 'Kay' Gozon Jimenez, known affectionately as the 'bamboo queen,' and science diplomat Glenn Banaguas, a world-renowned and multi-awarded scientist, stand at the intersection of nature's grace and human purpose.

A remarkable entrepreneur, environmentalist and humanitarian, Jimenez has woven her legacy into the very fabric of the botanical system. Her journey is a symphony of faith, resilience and a deep connection to nature.
