On December 10, 2016, 135 volunteers from 15 different MPower partner companies joined hands for the 2016 MPower Communitrees: A Community Tree Planting Activity held at First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Collectively, the organizations planted 625 native tree species including Tolibas-Tilos, Bayanti, Laneteng-gubat, Guijo, and Malaruhat to help conserve the environment and give back to the community.
MPower AVP & Retail Sales Head Emmanuel V. de Ramos welcomed the guests and gave the opening remarks. Notable company heads also attended and led their respective colleagues in the activity, including Ressie Santiago, General Manager (GM) of Best Chemicals & Plastics, Inc.; Hideo Kudo and Alberto de los Reyes, President and GM of EHS Lens Philippines Inc., respectively; Evangeline Ang, President of PHSCC and Atty. Delia Uy, GM, Legal and Business Admin. of JX Nippon Mining & Metals Philippines, Inc.
The activity ended with a lunch “salu-salo” provided by MPower to thank its partners for their support.
CommuniTrees is an annual activity aimed at engaging our partners in causes we support, at the same time building further on our fruitful partnership. This is the second tree planting activity of MPower with its partners.
MPower extends its special thanks to FPIP management for its support and for providing this year’s tree planting venue.
