IN partnership with non-profit organization Project Liwanag PH, two communal micro-grid structures were installed at Sitio Malalabatay and Sitio Alunan-Purok 3 in Barangay Sta. Juliana, a remote community in the mountains of Tarlac province, some 109 kilometers north of Manila. Early this year, the Foundation and Project Liwanag had signed a memorandum of agreement to fund the installation of the solar electrification systems.
