IN celebration of World Environment Day, SN Aboitiz Power Group (SNAP) reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship through watershed management, reforestation, forest protection and community-based conservation programs.
Through strategic partnerships and collaborative initiatives, SNAP continues to promote climate resilience and sustainable development in its host communities.
Among its major initiatives is SNAP-Magat’s Partnership in Uplifting Upland Natural Resources Livelihoods and Assets (Punla), an Upper Magat Watershed Management Program focused on the Province of Ifugao.

Punla supports enrichment planting, reforestation, and the restoration and rehabilitation of the iconic Ifugao Rice Terraces while engaging local communities in watershed protection and sustainable livelihood activities.
To date, Punla has rehabilitated and restored 34.3 hectares in the municipalities of Mayoyao and Banaue, reforested and
enriched 100.44 hectares of forest areas in Banaue and Hungduan, and established five hectares of agroforestry farms in Lagawe, Ifugao.
These efforts have helped mitigate an estimated 6,722 tons of soil erosion across the Ifugao Province.
Complementing these initiatives is SNAP-Benguet and the National Power Corporation’s (NPC) five-kilometer-radius Technical Cooperation Agreement.
The program maintains at least 13 kilometers of greenbelt areas and 12 kilometers of firebreaks annually, with volunteers deployed to assist various agencies in fire protection activities.
SNAP-Benguet also supports the Adopt-a-Watershed Program, which advances NPC’s carbon sequestration objectives and consolidates watershed rehabilitation and protection efforts within a 1,000-hectare watershed area.
In support of this year’s World Environment Day observance, anchored on the call for “Now for Climate,” SNAP carried out environmental stewardship activities that promote sustainability and climate action.
