CEBU CITY—The Visayan Electric here donated 30
trash bins, 15 each to barangays Banilad and Kasambagan, the barangays in Cebu
City that are identified to be within the area where the Mahiga River flows as
there is an on-going Mahiga River Rehabilitation effort from the Environmental
Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the cities of Cebu and Mandaue.
According to Quennie Bronce, Head, Reputation Enhancement Department that the electric utility is among the many companies in Cebu that forged memorandum of agreement with EMB-DENR-7 to assist and support in its rehabilitation program of one of the major water systems in Cebu.
The memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the
Visayan Electric and the Barangays was signed by Visayan Electric President and
COO Engr. Raul Lucero and representative of Barangays Banilad and Kasambagan on
October 19 during the turn over of bins to the said barangays with EMB-7’s John
Roy Kymco witnessing the event.
Bronce said that the company also installed a
river “trip trap” system near its facility in Banilad. A river trip trap is a litter capture concept
promoted by EMB-7 that is designed to float in waterways and trap litter before
it flows further downstream.
Aside from the donations, Visayan Electric has also committed to regularly clean up the part of the river that is within the company’s vicinity as part of its corporate social responsibility effort, Bronce added. (Photos: Visayan Electric)
