Philex Mining Corp. continues to support the community of Itogon with its well-accomplished social program agenda, in which the company plans to spend nearly P14 million worth of infrastructure projects in the town’s barangays of Ampucao and Dalupirip.
The story first appeared in Malaya, which writes the decades-old mining firm will go ahead with its 33 projects for the second and third quarters of the year alone.
The community development program includes public infrastructure units such as “concrete road and retaining wall to drainage canal and grouted riprap with parapet wall to health center and science laboratory,” according to Roy Mangali, AV Pat Philex Mining and Assistant Resident Manager at the Padcal mine location.
“We’re just talking about public infrastructure here. Of course, we have other community projects, such as health, education, livelihood, and environmental protection,” Mangali said, explaining how Philex’s community development is its own way of supporting and taking care of the people in Itogon.
Similar projects are also underway in its host town in Tuba, he added.
Meanwhile, the mining company reported a P1.5 million-budget for the construction of the Barangay Ampucao Disaster Risk Management Center, the most expensive for a single establishment yet, that was then followed by the P1.2 million-worth science laboratory building at the Laurencio Fianza National High School in Barangay Dalupirip.
In August last year, Philex Mining turned over P6 million for five infra programs to be built in Barangay Ampucao, that was formally attended by Benguet Governor Crescencio Pacalso and Itogon Mayor Victorio Palangdan, among others.
