MORE Electric and Power Corporation’s (MORE Power) eco-warriors joined Iloilo’s top leaders in planting over 2,000 bamboo and coffee saplings at the Maasin Watershed Forest Reserve on August 8, 2025.
Forty-five passionate MORE Power employees eagerly participated in this tree-planting event, rising early to volunteer their time and effort for a greener tomorrow.
Together with Cong. Lawrence Defensor, Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr., Vice Gov. Nathalie Ann Debuque, Maasin’s Mayor Francis Amboy, and other local officials, agencies, and volunteers, they stand united in protecting watersheds, preserving biodiversity, and building a sustainable future for all Ilonggos.
“We’re not just planting trees at the Maasin Watershed; we’re also investing in a greener, more sustainable future for Iloilo. This project shows MORE Power’s commitment to protecting our resources, supporting livelihoods, and making sure that the power we deliver is matched by the care we give to the environment that supports us all,” said Roel Castro, President and CEO of MORE Power.
On the same day, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the P25 million multi-purpose facility and eco-trail at Maasin Watershed Forest, which is part of the P325 million Maasin Eco-Park project.
This initiative from MORE Power reflects the belief that protecting the environment is not just a corporate responsibility, it’s a shared duty to future generations./PN
