MPT South Joins LRMC in Plant for Life Initiative at Ipo Watershed

As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), took part in the Plant for Life: Tree Planting Activity organized by Maynilad Water Services Inc. in collaboration with Bantay Gubat of Ipo Watershed on September 27, 2024. The event aimed at reforesting the critical Ipo Watershed in Bulacan, which is vital to the water supply for Metro Manila and parts of Cavite.

Along with volunteers from Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), MPT South contributed by planting 800 native tree seedlings. This effort aligns with Maynilad’s 2024 environmental goal to plant 220,000 trees across 660 hectares of forested land.

Arlette V. Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management of MPT South, stated, “It is an honor to help Mother Nature thrive alongside our kapatids of LMRC. Together, we can do more in protecting our environment and strengthening the consciousness of our teams that what we do is for the good of our future generation.” 

MPT South’s involvement in the Plant for Life Tree Planting Activity is part of the company’s broader commitment to environmental sustainability. Through initiatives like tree planting, the company hopes to foster a culture of sustainability and inspire communities to join the mission of protecting and preserving the environment.
