Manila Diaries
Home
This website serves as a space to document our experiences throughout our QPID internship with Parabukas, an environmental law consultancy based in Manila, Philippines. Here you’ll learn a little bit more about our internship, find reflections on our work and time in the philippines through our blog, as well as ways to support us through donations while we are abroad. We hope this platform can offer insight into our work as QPIDxParabukas interns and shed light on the broader importance of cross-cultural collaboration and community engagment in sustainable, global development.
Please Consider Donating to our Internship!
This unpaid internship promises professional and personal growth through working with a unique organization like Parabukas in an international context. We will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects, travel with the Parabukas team to events with organizations such as Wetlands International, and attend a conference in Singapore focused on climate diplomacy.
We ask that you consider supporting us with a donation to help cover living expenses and make the most of these opportunities. If you would like to support our journey, please visit our GoFundMe using this link or click the “Donate” tab in the website navigation menu.

On travel…
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
– Anthony Bourdain
