| ABS-CBN Foundation and GCash join together to reforest the La Mesa Watershed. |
A boost to the Foundation's ongoing efforts to preserve and improve the La Mesa Watershed, the main supply of drinking water for Metro Manila's 12 million residents, is provided by GCash's GForest commitment, which will cover 220 hectares alone in 2022.
Although 1,500 hectares of the Watershed have been replanted since 1999, the Foundation actively engages in preservation, reforestation, and enrichment efforts with partners and benefactors from all spheres of society to guarantee the La Mesa Watershed's vitality for future generations.

"We are pleased to collaborate with the ABS-CBN Foundation in our efforts to protect the environment. Beyond raising awareness about sustainability, GForest has had a noticeable effect on the nation's reforestation initiatives. According to Martha Sazon, president and chief executive officer of GCash, "We think that each tree donated by GForest has a snowball effect to create significant waves of beneficial impact in the nation.
