    Aside from developing the 585 MW SanMar Solar, we also built large-scale infrastructure in San Marcelino, Zambales. This includes a 14-kilometer power transmission line, almost six kilometers of access road and two concrete bridges, significantly reducing travel time and improving accessibility for the IP communities who used to walk three to five hours by foot or motorcycle when going to the San Marcelino town proper to sell their goods.

    In San Marcelino, Zambales, home to our 585 MW SanMar Solar project, we heavily invested in community infrastructure amidst barren, lahar-laden lands, including this 330 meter bridge, significantly improving accessibility and reducing travel time for indigenous communities seeking to reach the town proper.
