Used oils and used acid batteries are among the toxic wastes of its power plant, hence MGI being the newer geothermal facility in the country aims to conserve the environment by partnering with Bantay Kalikasan projects.

“Kapag ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation, iba talaga, pagdating sa environmental protection, confident kami na ma-protektahan ang environment through Bantay Kalikasan. ” said Erlito P. Del Rosario, Manager of Business Support and Administration-MGI.

“We are proud to be a partner of ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation for this worthwhile endeavor. We expect that this will be a long term partnership,” Vanessa Peralta, Corp. Comm. Officer of Petro Energy re-assured.

Del Rosario also articulated that since their business undertakings are all from the earth’s natural resources, responsibly disposing hazardous wastes through Bantay Langis and Bantay Baterya would help them contribute to the preservation and protection of the environment.

The monetary value of the said hazardous wastes would benefit the adopted communities and projects of the program.

Likewise, Bantay Kalikasan expressed its gratitude towards MGI for supporting the cause of the program to uplift the lives of Filipino communities through environmental protection.
