NEREUS ACOSTA or NERIC ACOSTA “was the principal author of the groundbreaking Clean Air Act that has become a model of environmental legislation in Asia” when he was in Congress. He also sponsored other major environmental legislations on “clean water, solid waste management and bio-diversity.”

He taught at Xavier University, UP, Bukidnon State College, and De La Salle University, and currently teaches at the Asian Institute of Management and Ateneo de Manila University.

“He continues to be active in microfinance, rural development and environmental protection projects in Bukidnon and is convenor of the Philippine Imperative on Climate Change.”

Neric was included in the 2002 NewsBizAsia’s 100 Most Influential Filipinos, and was cited by Asiaweek as representing the “youthful, hopeful change for the country.”
