MORE Power continues to uphold its commitment to the community and the environment by leading the initiative for its annual mangrove planting activity this time at the newly opened Sunset Boulevard on March 14, 2025.
A total of 120 volunteers, including MORE Power employees and the company’s Guardians of the Environment, participated in planting 600 mangrove saplings. This initiative supports coastal protection and environmental sustainability.
Ms. Susan Javellana, Senior Environmental Management Specialist at City ENRO, thanked MORE Power for being the first to plant mangroves at Sunset Boulevard since its opening.
She emphasized the importance of maintaining the area’s cleanliness and proper waste disposal.
“Sa pagtanum sang mangrove makahatag siya sang protection sa diri nga lugar. Ma mitigate ya ang kainiton kag ang kadamu gid eh. Lantawa subong kalbo ang atun viewing deck. Kanami kay ang syudad sa subong gapangita sang more green spaces,” says Javellana.
Of the 22-mangrove species found in the Philippines, they planted Pagatpat in the Iloilo River.
MORE Power’s VP for Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Ms. Ma. Cristina D. Cabalhin, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustainability. “Mangroves offer crucial benefits like coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration. This initiative aligns with our 5th-anniversary celebration to establish five planting decks, each with 1,000 saplings. Today, we completed our first deck with 600 saplings, and we are committed to reaching our target,” she said.
This effort reflects MORE Power’s dedication to sustainability and green initiatives, ensuring a greener future for Iloilo City in collaboration with Iloilo City’s Environment and Natural Resources Office (City ENRO).
MORE Power has more interesting environmental projects planned for the entire year to continue the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
