Being part of Earth Hour is a reflection of our long-term vision to continue building sustainable, future-ready communities that help jumpstart a collective action to protect the environment and the future of every Filipino," says Jose Arnulfo C. Batac, Head of Sustainability, Megaworld.</p><p>This year, Megaworld—through Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, the company’s retail and commercial arm—partnered with local conservation leader WWF-Philippines to host the Philippines' official Earth Hour switch-off event, which was held at ArcoVia City in Pasig.</p><p>This initiative forms part of Megaworld’s MEGreen program, a long-term sustainability initiative that consolidates all environmental efforts under a unified platform aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). These include integrating energy efficiency measures across its various properties, as well as implementing green building practices and community-driven sustainability programs.</p><p>Last year, Megaworld announced its full transition to renewable energy for its company-owned offices, hotels, lifestyle malls, and residential properties. This covered various office, lifestyle malls and retail establishments, and hotel developments located in townships across the Philippines, such as Uptown Bonifacio, Eastwood City, McKinley Hill, McKinley West, Newport City, Southwoods City, Twin Lakes, Boracay Newcoast, and Iloilo Business Park. ###</p>

We will be launching our inaugural project for this category within the year,” shares Lourdes T. Gutierrez-Alfonso, president and chief executive officer, Megaworld.</div><div><br /></div><div>In 2024, real estate sales continued to be a key driver of growth for Megaworld as it recorded a 19% jump year-on-year with its revenues reaching nearly Php 51-billion.

performance, with sales rising by 30% to P37.85-billion in the first nine

This strong growth reflects the sustained demand across Megaworld’s township

P3.64-billion, the fastest growth in Megaworld’s portfolio during the first

This 1 million worth of Ethyl Alcohol is composed of 850,000 liters of 96-percent ethyl alcohol which will be denatured in order to convert them into sanitizing and disinfectant alcohol, which can be used by hospitals, clinics, and government agencies that are tirelessly working to curb the spread of the coronavirus all over the country.<br />
<br />
“<i>Through the Department of Health, we hope to distribute disinfectant alcohol to as many, if not, all the hospitals and clinics that are treating COVID-19 patients all over the country. We need to protect our frontliners – the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare and medical personnel – whose lives are at risk in protecting and treating people from this virus,</i>” says Kevin Andrew L. Tan, chief executive officer, AGI.<br />
<br />
Aside from hospitals and other medical institutions, this huge volume of disinfectant alcohol will also be donated to other front liners such as the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), as well as marshalls from various Local Government Units (LGUs) who are also exposed because of their work in enforcing the government’s Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon.<br />
<br />
“<i>We are one with the nation in this fight to heal our country from COVID-19. We salute all the frontliners who are our real heroes during this challenging time. We join the nation in prayer and unity as we hope to rise together from this crisis as one Philippines,</i>” adds Tan.  <br />
