Hedcor, Inc. entered into a research agreement with the University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao for a wildlife inventory and biodiversity assessment project at the impact areas within the Mt. Apo natural park of Sibulan hydroelectric power plant located in Davao del Sur province.
The agreement was signed by Hedcor vice president VP for Mindanao operations Rolando Pacquiao and UP Mindanao Chancellor Sylvia Concepcion, with Hedcor consultant Dr. Bo Puentespina (seated, leftmost), and assistant professors Fritzie Camino and Marion John Achondo.
