Mt. Bangkaan, Sierra Madre Region

The Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC) has embarked in a forward-looking project of planting 50,000 native trees within a sprawling 100 hectares in Mt. Bangkaan in the Sierra Madre, the longest mountain range in the Philippines. Such a massive project will benefit not only Sierra Madre's biodiversity but also the entire population of Greater Metro Manila, from a sustainable watershed protection.

The choice of Mt. Bangkaan is crucial, being part of the micro basin of the Laiban Watershed, a vital potential source of water for Metro Manila.

The objectives of the project include reforestation and watershed protection, both of which are expected to contribute to the overall well-being of Filipinos.
