The Green Report: Talking love, life, and death with Tony La Viña

MANILA, Philippines – Tony La Viña wrote his memoir Ransomed by Love as a way to say goodbye when he was diagnosed with cancer.

But as life would have it, La Viña is now living through illness and promoting the book. Ransomed by Love was launched last November 29 at Ateneo de Manila University.

We sit down with the human rights and environmental lawyer to talk about his new book, the cathartic experience of writing about his life while awaiting death, and his newfound love for Taylor Swift.
