THE Philippines’ biggest producer of bangus fry planted 5,000 mangroves in Sarangani Bay as its contribution to the International Coastal Clean-up Month. | |||
The Mindanao-based Alcantara group is engaged in aquaculture and agribusiness in Sarangani, power generation and power plant management in Sarangani and Zamboanga, and property development and services in other regions. | |||
It has been an active player in the economic development of Mindanao and other regions for over 50 years. “The agri-business unit of the Alcantara group has been relying on Sarangani Bay, so in return, we would like to preserve and protect the bay not only for our benefit but for the benefit of the people in Sarangani as well,” said Richlie Lyndon Magtulis, executive director of Conrado and Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation Inc. | |||
Hundreds of volunteers converged at Barangay Poblacion in Malapatan, Sarangani on September 16 to clean up the bay and plant 1,000 seedlings. “This activity is our contribution to the international coastal clean-up celebration and this is also part of the commitment of the Alcantara group of companies to plant 50,000 mangroves all around Sarangani Bay from 2011 to 2013,” said Magtulis. | |||
Officers and personnel of different companies under the Alcantara group participated in the activity along with employees of the Sarangani provincial government, barangay officials, teachers and personnel of the Departments of Education, of Interior and Local Government, as well as the 73rd Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army, the Malapatan Police Station and social welfare beneficiaries. | |||
