His loved ones welcome contributions in his memory to the Fajardo HPR Student Internship Fund at Hawaiʻi Public Radio with a note about the fund This story was written by HPR Digital News Editor Sophia McCullough and reviewed by Vice President & News Director Bill Dorman In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines. Renee Valerie Fajardo heard towns were leveled and volunteered for disaster relief efforts After learning citizens had to face the life-changing tragedy alone Fajardo then enrolled at Vermont Law School to get her J.D and Master of Environmental Law and Policy degrees She was introduced to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement a treaty guiding global climate change relief efforts She grew fascinated with the international efforts to create a better world for all Fajardo then joined the mission as a UNFCCC intern Fajardo worked with United Nations legal officers to provide legal advice to countries.  “It was a lot to learn in a short time,” Fajardo said my skills in legal argument and research were helpful in trying to answer legal questions.” Fajardo joined Greenpeace Southeast Asia as a legal researcher on the Philippine Commission on Human Rights’ Carbon Majors case where she sought to hold significant carbon dioxide emitters responsible for climate change and its impact on the human rights of Filipinos Seeing a smaller nation suffer from increasing greenhouse emissions from other parties reignited her anger with contemporary climate policies.    Fajardo realized she wanted to fight for such nations.  “The difference between pre-law school and post-law school was that I felt more empowered to do something about it,” Fajardo said “It was after these two experiences that I made a decision to pursue a career in international climate change law.” a leading environmental lawyer for the Philippines and past advisor to the Federated States of Micronesia led Fajardo to become a legal adviser for Micronesia She balanced multiple countries’ interests to find common ground while ensuring fair negotiations and stakeholders across Southeast Asia and the Pacific on regulatory and mitigation strategies for controlling short-lived climate pollutants in the energy Diving straight into legal environmental advising made Fajardo miss out on exploring more of her interests, like the intersection of air quality, food security, and climate change. Joining Miami Law’s Environmental Law Program will allow her to explore all these Fajardo joined the School of Law as a lecturer and thrives in its intellectual life Attending the faculty’s Legal Theory workshops to hear other faculty members’ scholarship and work helps to inspire her Fajardo recently joined Professor Jessica Owley and 11 students at the 29th Round of Climate Change Treaty Negotiations in Baku she helped place students with nations like Samoa and the Federated States of Micronesia to advise them on the following steps to combat climate change.  Their efforts led to the University establishing new ties with the Center for International Environmental Law and Aksyon Klima Pilipinas one of the Philippines’ largest climate action advocates “None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Valerie Fajardo before and after the negotiations,” said Owley Fajardo’s work reflects a commitment to integrating legal expertise and collaboration to drive meaningful climate action globally for the benefit of vulnerable countries She intends to build a climate change negotiations program as the Climate and Environmental Law fellow. She anticipates diversifying the University’s environmental law program courses and encouraging students to be the next pioneers of climate law “I think there’s a host of talented young lawyers in developing countries who can be encouraged to do this work,” Fajardo said “I want to build the credentials to develop a similar program down the road.” Read more about Miami Law’s environmental law area of study. Central Florida Public Media (formerly called WMFE) extends deep condolences on the passing of José A who served as president and CEO of WMFE from 2007-2012 José started at WMFE as director of radio programming in 1996 and held various leadership roles with the organization before becoming president He served on the boards of NPR and Florida Public Media (then called Florida Public Broadcasting) José served as executive vice president for the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce and in 2016 became president and general manager of Hawaii Public Radio José was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) a nervous system disease with no known cure He was open about his experience with the disease and continued his work at Hawaii Public Radio until stepping down in July of this year since I joined WMFE’s newsroom in 2004,” said Judith Smelser president and general manager of Central Florida Public Media “He was extremely supportive as I stepped into the role of president and my heart goes out to his family and friends here in Central Florida and beyond.” José passed away at his home in Honolulu on December 19 Every other week, Nevada Sports Net will spotlight a local athlete as part of our "Legendary Athletes" series, which is presented in partnership with Legends Bay Casino Today's featured athlete is former Nevada quarterback Cody Fajardo who in October was inducted into the Wolf Pack Hall of Fame and recently completed his 10th season in the CFL With Nevada football celebrating national signing day Wednesday former Wolf Pack quarterback Cody Fajardo recalled the moment he officially became a member of the program signing under Hall of Fame coach Chris Ault you had to fax your letter of intent instead of penning it virtually via Docusign I'm going to sign,'" Fajardo said but I'm going to take a shot of tequila tonight!' because he was excited I was going to be signing But once the fax went through and it's official it's like everything changes from there on out and you have a spot that you can be in." succeeding Colin Kaepernick as Nevada's starting quarterback as a redshirt freshman in 2011 before becoming the second player in FBS history with 9,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in a career (Kaepernick was the first to do that) Fajardo was inducted into the Wolf Pack Hall of Fame last October as a first-ballot selection That induction came a week after he became a second-time father in the middle of his CFL season was eight days postpartum and she showed up looking amazing She was more of the rock star on that night than I was Nate Burleson came in and gave all the speeches and introduced all of the inductees We just spent some good time with family and some great people and some good names that went into the Hall of Fame so I was honored to be a part of that." Fajardo returned to Montreal where he led the CFL's Alouettes to the best regular-season record in the league But Montreal's quest for a second straight Grey Cup was felled by a turnover-laden 30-28 loss to Toronto in the CFL's East Division final Fajardo dealt with a torn hamstring and broken ribs during the season but still threw for 3,105 yards with 16 touchdowns (plus three on the ground) in 14 games it was one of my best years," Fajardo said it's the most games I've missed in my career I'm a torn hamstring away from probably being the MVP of the league which is unfortunate because I was playing at an all-time level early riding that Grey Cup win and that confidence into this year I end up tearing my hamstring missing the next four games Our backup comes in and plays extremely well "Speaking to the last game of the season we're the best team in the league all year We had four fumbles in their territory and we lose by two points it was one of those games that just felt like it wasn't going our way But it just goes to show how good that football team was because we had six turnovers and we lost the turnover battle pretty bad and we still had a chance to win We're a 2-point conversion away from going into overtime it doesn't matter how much you love it it'll never love you back and how much you pour into it so you've got to find a way to react and adapt trying to get back into rhythm was the biggest thing and then basically played a game after sitting at home for two weeks." The Alouettes could trade or cut Fajardo before that money is due or ask him to rework his contract A two-time Grey Cup winner who has spent 10 seasons in the CFL but he's at peace with whatever comes next "It's going to be interesting," Fajardo said Our backup came in and he played really well The team felt like they didn't want to get him out of the building so they locked him up for a three-year deal The thing for me is I'm in a great position where I've played 10 years professionally I'm not going to jump at the first opportunity that comes my way I'm going to jump at the right opportunity you've got to make sure the decision you're making is more for the situation as opposed to just chasing the next opportunity or chasing money." That's not necessarily what he expected when he signed that letter of intent with the Wolf Pack back in 2009 But Northern Nevada has become home for the Orange County kid it's hard to compete with Orange County," Fajardo said "But I think the biggest thing I realized when I stepped foot in Reno Walking into Walmart and seeing Wolf Pack gear in there it was all about the NFL teams or the MLB teams But you came here and everybody was about Wolf Pack 'This is nothing like they've portrayed it to be in the film.' I fell in love with the place and now this is home base for us We've got two boys and hopefully one day maybe they'll be signing a scholarship to the University of Nevada."

Alexander gives the Alouettes a different dynamic in the offense compared to Fajardo and Montreal has bounced between quarterbacks over the years so they can develop Alexander to be the long-term starter for the future passing for 17,998 yards and 83 touchdowns to 52 interceptions The news likely means that Fajardo will be hitting the road He could also stick around as he has a $200,000 roster bonus coming up on January 15 and is expected to make $482,000 in 2025 with Montreal The Alouettes could either ask Fajardo to rework the contract trade him or release him before January 15 to avoid paying Fajardo the roster bonus Fajardo will have teams out there who will seek his services The Saskatchewan Roughriders could be one option with the 38-year-old Trevor Harris as their current starter The Riders need a younger quarterback for the future The Hamilton Tiger-Cats could go after Fajardo with Bo Levi Mitchell at the tail end of his career despite having one of his best statistical seasons in 2024 but there will be a CFL team who won't turn down the chance to add a quarterback who has redefined his career over the last two years You can follow Anthony Miller on X @ByAnthonyMiller Catch up with CFL on SI.com on Facebook and X ANTHONY MILLER The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER Connect with our staff on topics that matter to you via email or request a reprint Place classified and announcement notices or grow your business with advertising and marketing solutions The San Miguel Beermen seek a fourth win in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup The San Miguel Beermen gun for back-to-back wins in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup when they battle the skidding TNT Tropang 5G on Sunday Fans can also watch the livestream on One Sports' Youtube channel.  [RELATED STORY: Zamboanga Valientes in process of acquiring Terrafirma franchise in PBA] are coming off a resounding 104-93 win over Ginebra last time out with CJay Perez showcasing his all-around brilliance with 23 points while June Mar Fajardo notched yet another double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds [ALSO READ: Summer Vacay, Slay!
