With her body painted to depict the Earth’s oceans and continents, popular actress and singer Nadine Lustre posed to push a New Vegan appeal for Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) at Parallax Studio in Pasig City on March 17. 

Members of the media were invited for a sneak peek at the new ad by Peta, which is aimed at inviting people to help save Mother Earth by going vegan.
