BETTER ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES. The One Meralco Foundation energized the health center of Barangay Laiban in Tanay, Rizal which caters to over 3,000 individuals. The electrification of rural health centers is among the initiatives of OMF under its community electrification program which also covers low-income households, off grid public schools, water access projects, and agricultural and livelihood programs.

OMF recently energized a health center in the municipality of Tanay which caters to the basic medical needs of over 3,000 residents of the community, including members of the Dumagat Tribe. Installed by Meralco’s solar power subsidiary Spectrum, the solar PV system donation to the barangay was made possible through fundraising led by Meralco employees from its Customer Retail Services Group.
Meralco employees donated medicines and medical equipment such as nebulizers, fetal dopplers, and blood pressure monitors. OMF also donated 100 school kits for students of the Laiban Integrated School in the community. In Bulacan, over 100 families of the Dumagat Tribe living in Norzagaray have started to reap the benefits of a clean and safe water supply after OMF energized the community’s water facility.
With no access to a water system, members of the Dumagat Tribe previously relied solely on water that flows from the stream and spring for their daily needs even if their community is situated within the confines of the Ipo Watershed—which supplies nearly all of Metro Manila’s water needs.
