On his Instagram page, Espanto shared how it is an honor to be of service as an advocate.
His caption read: “In this time of uncertainty and difficulty, it is our obligation to look after each one and to make sure that we are doing our part to be of help. In this connection, I would like to inform everyone that I am now officially the newest Youth Advocate of the UNDP. It is truly an honor to be a part of this and I hope to be of service through this endeavor.”
