Ayala Center Cebu Shines Light on Climate Change

Since it started in Sydney Australia in 2007 to give awareness on climate change issues, Earth Hour has since engaged over 7,000 cities across 172 countries. The movement is held annually from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. This year, Earth Hour celebrated its 10th year as a worldwide movement and Ayala Center Cebu participated again last March 25 at The Terraces.
