First Gen Corporation, the country’s leading clean energy company, is helping the local government of Batangas City rehabilitate and transform the city’s closed garbage dumpsite into a recreation park and wildlife rescue center.
In a statement, the firm said First Gen Vice President Ramon Araneta signed a memorandum of agreement recently with Mayor Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha to affirm the Lopez-led power company’s commitment to serve as Partner Adoptor in the project.Under the Batangas City Eco-Park and Wildlife Rescue Center Project , the local government will turn the city’s old, 2-hectare dumpsite into a recreational area for residents and tourists, as well as a sanctuary for rescued animals.
The Batangas City local government will develop these facilities through partnerships and commitments with private companies or partner adopters that have agreed to adopt and undertake specific components of the Eco-Park Project. First Gen, like its parent firm First Philippine Holdings Corporation , has a long history and a strong advocacy for the environment.
