(SMMCI), recently joined Maynilad Water Services Inc. and other MVP Group companies at the La Mesa Eco-Park for this year’s launch of the public water utility’s annual “Plant For Life” program. The kick-off activity coincided with Maynilad’s 15th anniversary and chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan’s birthday. “Plant for Life” is the flagship environmental conservation program of Maynilad, which aims to recover denuded watersheds and thus protect the water supply of millions of consumers.
