Employees from the B-MEG Bataan and Iloilo Plants help safeguard local coastal environment through Mangrove reforestation project

Eighteen employees from B-MEG Plant Bataan and 43 employees from B-MEG Plant 1 Iloilo planted 1,200 mangrove propagules and 500 mangrove seedlings respectively as part of their efforts to help preserve and enrich the coastal environment of their respective provinces.


Through the program, the teams aim to provide environmental and economic benefits to the residents of Barangay Bantan in Bataan and Barangay Gua-an in Ioilo.


From an environmental perspective, mangroves act like a shield, minimizing the impact of storms and tidal waves, reducing soil erosion, and combating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide in their biomass and soil. 


These essential ecosystems also serve as nurseries for marine life, offering community members a sustainable source of livelihood.

The Mangrove Reforestation Project highlights the synergy between San Miguel Foods and its partner communities. Through the project, the company combines its resources with that of the community and the local government to pinpoint optimal locations to sustain the project and collaborate to ensure the propagules are nurtured to flourish. 


The Mangrove Reforestation program is just one of the many activities that San Miguel Foods conducts as part of its comprehensive environmental program which aims to safeguard land, water, and air quality in the communities around its facilities. It also contributes to SMC’s bigger goal of achieving net zero by 2050.

Natutunan ko Bilang Nanay: Puwedeng Abot-Kaya at Healthy ang Pagkain

By Nanay Maricris • September 25, 2026
Dati, akala ko ay madali lang gawing healthy ang pagkain ng pamilya. Kumain ng mas maraming gulay at prutas. Bawasan ang matatamis at maalat. Siguraduhing nakakakain nang maayos ang mga anak. Simple lang, 'di ba? Pero iba pala kapag nanay ka na kailangang mag-plano ng lulutuin -- mamamalengke, mag-bubudget, maghahanda ng pagkain, at sisiguraduhing makakakain ang lahat. Kaya ang akala ko ay magkaiba ang masustansiyang pagkain at pagkaing madaling lutuin araw-araw .
