Pilipinas Shell provides solar-powered street lights in Batangas

PILIPINAS Shell Petroleum Corp. has installed 16 solar-powered street lights along the Batangas-TabangaoLobo road covering the village of San Isidro, the company announced Wednesday. “A community’s progress rests on an effective partnership between government, starting with the barangay, and the private sector,” said San Isidro Barangay Chairman Andres B. Malibiran. The Batangas City police station commander, Lt. Col. Gerry M. Laylo, said the lights also contribute to maintaining peace and order. Pilipinas Shell has a solar farm in Tabangao, which has been supplying power to the listed oil company’s import terminal since December. The street lighting project was under the Save, Invest and Nurture Access to Green Energy and Technology program led by Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc.
