Pueblo de Oro Development Corp. (PDO) took part in a tree-planting program last month in Barangay San Gregorio in the municipality of Malvar, Batangas province in keeping with its promise to safeguard Mother Earth.
The tree-planting event was organized by the ICCP Group’s Green Committee in cooperation with ICCP Group Foundation Inc. (IGFI), Science Park of the Philippines Inc. (SPPI), Pueblo de Oro, and Barangay San Gregorio.
The ecological activity was attended by officers and staff from the ICCP Group and employees from Malvar Enerzone Corp., PERSTIMA (Philippines) Inc., Monde Nissin and Farmesa Asia Pacific Inc., locator-partners of SPPI from Light Industry & Science Park IV in Malvar, Batangas. PTA members of San Gregorio Elementary School and police personnel in the area also joined the tree planting.
On the recommendation of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of Malvar, the volunteer group planted over 300 saplings of fruit-bearing plants, including calamansi, avocado, rambutan and jackfruit (langka).
Pueblo de Oro has consistently integrated environmental programs in each of its developments in Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Pampanga and Batangas. These include regular tree planting activities, solid waste management and support for e-vehicles and shuttles to cut down on emissions and waste—all planned to ultimately promote sustainability.
