100-kWp solar power plant Uratex Cebu starts operation

Posted on

RGC/Uratex Group of Companies, the largest foam manufacturer and distributor in the country successfully installed another renewable energy sourcing facility that will supply electricity to its Uratex Cebu Manufacturing Site located in Mandaue City.

The 100-kilowatt rooftop solar plant in Uratex Cebu was inaugurated Saturday, making it the third of the RGC/Uratex Group’s manufacturing sites with clean energy sourcing capabilities. The company started investing in solar energy sourcing facilities beginning 2017 with its 500-kilowatt grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system in Alabang Manufacturing Site installed by PV2 Energie Philippines Inc., a German-based renewable energy company. Just last year, the company expanded using solar in Uratex Canlubang.

“There’s no loss in investing in renewable energy as it gives back benefits to the environment and financial advantage to the business. We always win if we think of saving the future while making the most out of the present resources that we have,” shared by RGC/Uratex Group Business Unit Head for Visayas and Mindanao Ms. Marvey E. Alcantara.

For Uratex Cebu solar power facility, the two immediate advantages that the system will provide is that it will contribute to the advocacy of using clean energy and at the same time will be able to save on its electricity cost by as much as 20%. The renewable energy system will help the company avoid 88 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year equivalent to planting 1,455 trees or recycling 29.9 tons of waste instead of dumping it to landfills.

“These past months, we are continuously expanding our market reach and we are happy to share that the products we sell are produced using clean energy. As we expand our reach to consumers, we are also exploring means to protect the environment,” said Alcantara.

The RGC/Uratex Group has committed to set-up solar panel facilities on its sites in Bulacan, Pangasinan, Iloilo, Davao and Cagayan de Oro in the coming years. ###

Cebuanas are great multitaskers. They can juggle multiple responsibilities like work or school, run a business, and manage the household while also finding time for hobbies and interests. Despite the many tasks and demands of life, they always find ways to get the job done.

We asked four Cebuanas how they enjoyed Lalamove’s services and how it made their daily life much easier:

 

 

Urgent deliveries made possible

Through a funny skit, teacher turned viral sensation Danieca  Goc-ong, popularly known as Teacher Dan, showed how Lalamove can be a lifesaver when one forgets something important. In true Teacher Dan style, she showed how Lalamove comes to the rescue for last-minute delivery needs like when students leave an important report at home that their grades depend on. Lalamove’s partner drivers are carefully selected and trained to handle important documents, cash and delicate items.

 

Moving into a new home

She was able to send orders, including late night cravings, without a hitch using Lalamove’s user-friendly app and its extra features and services. “It’s very convenient, very easy to book, not to mention sobrang daling gamitin ang app nila,” she said. Lalamove’s multi-stop feature was especially helpful in accommodating the many orders they receive daily. With multi-stop, businesses can deliver to up to 20 stops in Cebu in just one booking.

Meal cravings delivered with just a few taps

Since 2019, Divine Maitland-Smith has been the chef of The Garden at Soul Sierra, a wellness center in Cebu. She uses Lalamove to deliver The Garden’s delicious plant-based meals from the remote highlands of Busay to those who wish to enjoy it at their home.

Meet Four of Cebu’s Pawsome Paw-rents

Meet Four of Cebu’s Pawsome Paw-rents

The bond between pets and their owners is unconditional. This is exactly the reason why we call them man’s best friends and consider them a treasured part of the family.

With the amount of love and affection they give, it’s only right that we return the favor. And what do dogs love most? Spending time with their “hoomans”.

 

Get to know some of Cebu’s pawrents and their fur babies:

 

 

Vern Enciso-Lim with Chewy, Milana & Bordeaux

For lifestyle content creator and entrepreneur Vern-Enciso Lim, lockdown life became easier with her fur babies around. Thanks to her husband’s big love for pets, she became a dog lover herself and now they are proud parents to a 3-month-old Maltese and their personal alarm clock Bordeaux, 5-year-old Shih-Poo (Shih Tzu-Pomeranian)  and their guard dog Chewy, and 2-year-old smart pooch Pomsky (Pomeranian- Siberian) Milana.

 

“Enjoy every step,” Vern starts when asked what advice she can give to new pawrents. “Just like kids, there will come a time when they’re not as clingy and needy anymore as when they were puppies,”. Vern also points out that it takes a lot of hard work and responsibility, so make sure you’re 100% committed before becoming one.

 

 

King Martinez with Disco

Even as a child, self-employed beach bum, King Martinez has always been an animal lover with a special liking to dogs. With a lot of time on his hands during the lockdown, he decided to raise his own. Now, King is a dedicated dad to a 7-month-old Australian Cattle Dog named Disco.

 

He says that being a pawrent isn’t always easy, but he finds fulfillment and joy in rearing his fur baby despite that. King shares that Disco is the type who’s always excited to see and meet people. “He’ll be the first one to jump and greet you, so expect a lot of wags and kisses or a nudge of his toy for a game of fetch or tug of war.”

 

He advises new dog owners to always be kind to their pooches. “There’s no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad owner,” he remarks. “Do your research before getting a dog. All breeds are different, and they all have their own needs.”

 

Jennifer Elaine Sarmiento-Bun-an with Happy, Heart & Baboy Billion

To lifestyle content creator, entrepreneur, and mom-to-be, Jennifer Sarmiento-Bun-an, being a pawrent is fun and exciting and can sometimes be tiring, but it’s a beautiful life with dogs nonetheless. According to her, the unconditional love you receive from your pets is immeasurable because no matter what you do, your dogs will always be loyal to you.

 

It’s no question Jen has always loved pets because when she and her husband got together, they immediately wanted to adopt one. The moment they saw Billion, the couple instantly had a special attachment towards her. Jen says that Billion was actually the runt of the litter. However, it was still love at first sight. Sadly, Billion passed away at just the age of 3 but left behind her adorable Pomeranian children Happy, Heart, and Babi.

 

Happy, who never stops eating and Heart, the smart one with the freckles, and Baboy Billion, Billion’s sister, who has a luxated patella, filled the void after Billion crossed the rainbow bridge. Losing a dog never gets easier, but Jen insists that every pawrent must be prepared to give their fur babies the love, time, and care they need.

 

“If you plan to become PAW-rents, be prepared to give your fur babies, love, time and care.” Jen advices. “Pets are clingy and affectionate – pretty much like children so they will always seek for attention.” 

 

 

Jasmin Ellen Sarmiento-Juan with Ramsey

Fur momma, lifestyle content creator, and entrepreneur, Jasmin Ellen Sarmiento-Juan says that life as a pawrent is great. At the same time, it gives her a sense of responsibility, which in turn, is reciprocated with loyalty and unconditional love by her fur baby.

 

At a young age, Jas already knew she was a pet lover and the family’s late 16-year-old Shih Tzu Lucky, encouraged her to be a pawrent herself. Today, Jas has a 4-year-old Pomeranian named Ramsey who enjoys car rides and demands he gets to go on a joy ride at least once a day.

 

“Show your dogs you love them and treat them well because pets are basically your family, too,” Jas shares a bit of advice to first-time pet owners.

 

Treat fur babies to a visit at the pet-friendly Ayala Malls Central Bloc. Register them to The Paw Club at the Concierge for first dibs on pet promos and activities. Just bring their vaccination records. Take them shopping at Daiso  on the third floor or at EZ Dog at the second floor, Trading Bloc.  For more information, follow Ayala Malls Central Bloc on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AyalaMallsCentralBloc/, @AyalaMallsCentralBloc on Instagram, and join the Viber Community for real-time announcements at https://bit.ly/ayalamallscebuviber.  Whether for dining in or take out, take the guesswork out of ordering through, Today’s Menu, Ayala Malls Central Bloc’s digital menu board, updated daily at http://ayalamallscentralbloc.com/todaysmenu.
