He is Green Expo 2027 commissioner
Just last March, Manila bid farewell to one of its well-loved figures in the diplomatic community, Ambassador Kazuhiro Koshikawa. Ambassador Kaz, as he was fondly called by his Filipino followers on social media, concluded his tenure as the Japanese ambassador to the Philippines. Stepping away from his diplomatic role in Manila, we all wondered what his next adventure would be.
Fresh from his meeting at the Philippine embassy, I met up with Amba Kaz for merienda at a small Filipino restaurant in Tokyo. Over some leche flan and coffee, he shared his excitement over his new role. A self-confessed “plant-tito,” Ambassador Kaz is someone who enjoys tending to a garden, whether on a balcony or in the sprawling grounds back in the Japanese ambassador’s residence in Manila, where he had malunggay and kamias, ready for their kitchen’s needs. Now, as he takes on the role of commissioner for the Green Expo 2027, the ambassador brings not just his love for greenery but his wealth of diplomatic experience and passion for environmental sustainability to the forefront.
