LIMAY, BATAAN — In celebration of Philippine Arbor Day and World Environment Month, Petron Corporation led a large-scale tree planting activity on June 25, 2025, at its adopted site in Barangay Duale, Limay, Bataan. The event reaffirmed the company’s strong commitment to environmental protection and reforestation through its flagship program, Puno ng Buhay.
Nearly 1,700 seedlings—including narra, guyabano, calamansi, and cashew—were planted across a two-hectare area. The activity drew around 400 volunteers from various sectors, including the Petron Refinery, Petron Limay Terminal, SL-Panasia, SMC Global Power, local government units of Limay, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Army, barangays Alangan and Duale, people’s organizations such as SAMASAKA, and other NGOs.
Simultaneous tree planting activities were also held in Petron facilities across the country in partnership with local government units, civil society organizations, and employee volunteers. These nationwide efforts are part of Puno ng Buhay, an ongoing program launched in 2000, which has already resulted in the planting of over one million trees and mangroves throughout the Philippines.
In addition, Petron employees joined San Miguel Corporation’s (SMC) tree planting initiative at Mt. Purro Nature Reserve in Antipolo, uniting with volunteers from other SMC subsidiaries to demonstrate the conglomerate’s shared commitment to environmental sustainability.
As the country’s leading oil refining and marketing company, Petron continues to pursue diverse initiatives focused on conservation, reforestation, biodiversity protection, and cleaner fuel innovations. These programs underscore the company’s broader sustainability agenda and its support for a greener, more climate-resilient Philippines.
