Renewable energy solutions provider SN Aboitiz Power Magat (SNAP-Magat) has partnered with Sta. Lucia’s barangay local government unit (BLGU) in Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya in an effort to make emergency response resources available to host communities, particularly during these trying times. On August 4, 2021, a memorandum of agreement (MOA) was signed for the purchase of a Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (BDRRMC) vehicle. The signing took place at the Magat dam crest, an open-air space overlooking the Magat reservoir in Brgy. Gen. Aguinaldo, Ramon, Isabela. Ed Bundalian, SNAP-Magat Plant Manager, and Barangay Captain Villamor Suni led the simple ceremony. The project is a joint effort between the BLGU, which provided funds from their budget, and SNAP-Magat, which donated around Php538,000 as COVID-19 response through its ER 1-94 program under the Department of Energy (DOE) and the company’s regular CSR fund. “The vehicle will transport BDRRMC personnel to respond to emergency situations such as calamities and COVID-19 related preventive actions,” said Barangay Captain Suni. “This will also be used to respond to other medical services that are critical to the well-being of the people of Sta. Lucia.” The project will benefit approximately 3,000 individuals from the said barangay.
