Philippines’-based LANDBANK recently received two Kampeon ng Katubigan awards for championing programmes in the areas of water access and environmental sustainability.
Maynilad Water Services and the National Water Resources Board conferred the awards on LANDBANK’s environmental programmes – Manila Bay SUNSET Program Partnership and Adopt-A-Watershed Phase II – at the second World Water Day Awards.
The Manila Bay SUNSET Program Partnership is LANDBANK’s flagship environmental programme, created to implement a sustainable approach to protect and conserve the Manila Bay.
Meanwhile, Adopt-A-Watershed, LANDBANK’s programme in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), is focussed on rehabilitating denuded watersheds in different areas nationwide to contribute to the government’s National Greening Program.
World Water Day Awards, now in their second year, recognise individuals and institutions for their contribution in the areas of water access and environmental sustainability.
LANDBANK was nominated by DENR for the awards for the bank’s CSR environmental efforts.
