Aboitiz Construction Builds Eco-Station for Cebu Public School

In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability, Aboitiz Construction, in partnership with Aboitiz Foundation, Inc., turned over an eco-station to Buhingtubig Elementary School in Balamban, Cebu, on December 3.

The initiative, part of the Waste Action for Yielding Sustainability (WAYS) Project, aims to
promote responsible waste management and environmental awareness among students.

The turnover ceremony was attended by key stakeholders, including Christopher Piodos, Schools District Supervisor of Balamban II; Paul Puentenegra, Principal of Buhingtubig Elementary School; Merlita Milan, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office Head of
Balamban; Marife Balbarino, Aboitiz Construction Project Manager; and Rafael Antonio, Manager for Reputation Management of Aboitiz Construction.

The eco-station, constructed by Aboitiz Construction team members using eco-panels made from recycled plastics sourced from Green Trident, is designed to facilitate waste segregation at the school.

In addition, the company donated printers and tumblers to support the school’s eco-initiatives and create a more sustainable learning environment.

As part of the project launch, Grades 5 and 6 students participated in an instructional session on effective waste sorting and minimizing plastic, conducted by Ms. Merlita Milan. The program also provided an opportunity for the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) to plan future waste collection initiatives for the school.
