Samsung continues WWF support to help rehabilitate the Ipo Watershed

The Ipo Watershed supplies freshwater to millions of residents in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces, but decades of illegal environmental activities have destroyed over half of its vegetation. Samsung Philippines employees trooped to the site to participate in efforts to save it.    

  

Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation employees recently participated in a rehabilitation program for the Ipo Watershed in Norzagaray, Bulacan. The project was an initiative under Love and Care, the annual employee volunteer program for the tech giant’s subsidiaries in the Southeast Asia and Oceania region.
