Hedcor’s P12.5 billion hydropower project in the Province of Bukidnon, the Philippines, is helping to boost local business in the area, the company has said.
Taking advantage of the project’s ongoing construction, locals are selling food during the break time of more than 400 workers.
Lilibeth Inigo and Cherry Mae Aroyal both residents of Barangay Guilang Guilang, Manolo Fortich are a just couple of those who are selling meals, drinks, snacks and coffee. According to Lilibeth, they have been earning up to P5000 every month for the past six months due to the hydro construction of Hedcor.
Hedcor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AboitizPower. It ground broke the project last year and is on track to being 34% complete to date. Today, Hedcor is operating 22 hydropower facilities in Benguet, Mt Province, Davao and Ilocos Sur with a total installed capacity of 185MW.
