Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), joined the International Coastal Cleanup held at the lakeside of Barangay Caingin, Santa Rosa City, Laguna Santa Rosa City, Lagun on September 21, 2024.

In partnership with Santa Rosa City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), 42 dedicated volunteers from various divisions of MPT South contributed to a successful day of environmental stewardship.

The event brought together over a thousand volunteers from various companies and organizations to address the growing issue of plastic pollution and waste along the country’s waterways. They aimed to remove waste from the coastlines and raise awareness about protecting our oceans, rivers, seas, and lakes.

MPT South volunteers helped collect 2,016.5 kg of waste by the lakeside. In total, the efforts of all participants across the cleanup site resulted in 591 filled trash bags, including 126.5 kg of PET bottles, 611 kg of plastic laminates, 2,938 kg of residuals, and 314.3 kg of special waste—culminating in 3,989.8 kg of waste removed from the waterway.

The coastal cleanup is part of MPT South’s broader sustainability efforts, emphasizing the need to protect and preserve the natural environment in the areas it serves. Through this initiative, the company demonstrated its dedication not only to improve mobility with its expressways but also to safeguard the ecosystems that surround these communities.

Arlette Capistrano, MPT South’s Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management, stated, “As a company deeply connected with communities across South Luzon, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. We look forward to always being a part of the International Coastal Cleanup. MPT South is dedicated to being a strong advocate for environmental protection and sustainability.”

MPT South continues to help foster environmental responsibility and sustainable practices, ensuring to contribute positively to both community welfare and environmental protection efforts across the region.
