EDC, AFI Ink Agreement on Bantay-Baterya & Bantay-Langis Projects

A pact for a clean environment.  Energy Development Corporation Vice Chairman & CEO Paul Aquino and ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. Managing Director Gina Lopez seal agreement to help clean up the environment of pollution-causing junk lead acid batteries and used oil through the Bantay Baterya and Bantay Langis projects, respectively.  EDC will donate its used oil and batteries to AFI which will pick up, transport and recycle/re-refine these industrial materials in tandem with the Philippine Recyclers, Inc (PRI) and Genetron International Marketing.  Aside from recycling the batteries and used oil, PRI and Genetron will also determine the corresponding monetary value and subsequently remit the money to AFI.  The funds to be generated from the projects will be used to support the operations of AFI’s Bantay Kalikasan and Save the La Mesa Watershed Project. The project is compatible with EDC’s sustainable management principle and enables it to participate in a donation program that ensures risk-free disposal of used industrial materials.  Photo shows from L-R: Genetron PCO Jocelyn Panen, EDC SVP Agnes de Jesus, Paul Aquino, Gina Lopez, Genetron President Genovevo Sebastian, and Bantay Kalikasan OIC John Paul Balayon
