MARIVELES, Bataan — GNPower Mariveles Energy Center Ltd. Co. (GMEC) on Saturday announced that it has turned over two completed projects for two villages here.
Arcel Madrid, GMEC assistant vice president for community relations, said the projects are a covered plaza in Barangay Baseco Country and a multi-purpose hall in Barangay Sisiman, both located near the coal power plant operated by GMEC.
“I am glad to be able to witness another successful social development program,” Madrid said of the projects.
He acknowledged the important role of social progress through the enhancement and modernization of public facilities to ensure the sustainable development of the community.
“Although Baseco Country is not the host community of the coal power plant, the barangay is one of the nearest barangays adjacent to the plant site. GMEC will always take part and support the barangay in its campaign towards progress,” Madrid said.
Baseco Country barangay chairwoman Leonida Valderama thanked the company and hoped that more projects will be undertaken in her village.
On the turnover of the Sisiman multi-purpose hall, Madrid stressed the importance of stimulating education through the Alternative Learning Center and empowering the youth. He said that the new hall will benefit the sangguniang kabataan of the seaside barangay.
Sisiman barangay chairman Honesto Cabanillas expressed his gratitude for the company’s support to his village.
The plant sites of GMEC and its sister company, GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co., are in Barangay Alas-asin.
