UBX, the leading open finance platform in the Philippines, has mounted its first
regular mixer event, bringing in founders, industry players, venture
capitalists, and investors together in a bid to hasten the development of the
local startup scene.

Called the UBX Lounge 48 Mixer, UBX organizes the quarterly social gathering
together with communities and organizations like JCI Manila, Alike Community,
and Fintech Alliance to allow startups to meet, collaborate, and exchange ideas
and initiatives over good food and drinks. 

> The key to getting through the ever changing business landscape globally is to
be open and to collaborate. We are all part of one ecosystem that supports each
other. It is important that we continuously engage and collaborate with the
community.

—John Januszczak, President and CEO, UBX.
UBX invited several speakers to the first UBX Lounge 48 Mixer, including former
Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Gary B. Teves and Gobi-Core Philippine
Fund Founding Partner Carlo Delantar. 

Teves discussed how alliances are key to succeed in the local startup scene,
given the delays in the implementation of key laws and policies that support the
development of startups. 

UBX President and CEO John Januszczak engaged in a lively discussion with guests
at the UBX Lounge 48 Mixer.He also underscored the need for the Philippines to
focus on developing science-based education programs to meet the growing demand
for research scientists and engineers — two of the most in-demand posts for
startups. 

“The bulk of funding in the last two years were focused on three key sectors,
e-commerce, fintech, and media tech. We need to further support other important
sectors like agritech, edutech, cleantech, and healthtech —- all of which are
essential to nation building,” Teves said. 

Delantar, on the other hand, talked about the funding landscape in the
Philippines. Gobi-Core, he said, believes that “the time is ripe for the
Philippines to take its place in the world as a key player in the technology
sphere.”

> The Philippines is at a critical point for technology innovation. Investments,
talent and ecosystem building remains a cornerstone for development. This mixer
provided the avenue for the community to meet after over two years of lockdown
with a diverse mix of audience represented by government, corporations, NGOs and
startups.

—Carlo Delantar, Founding Partner, Gobi-Core Philippine Fund 
The first UBX Lounge 48 Mixer brought in more than 100 participants across
different sectors — from startup founders to venture capitalists, from industry
leaders to upstarts. 

UBX Managing Director Jaime Garchitorena highlighted the importance of
collaboration in the startup community, likening it to how UBX’s open finance
framework works.

Open finance entails the collaboration from different players to share
permissioned data to build new products, develop existing services, and tailor
solutions to the finance-related needs of individuals and organizations. 

“As an individual organization, it would take decades to make a difference, but
if a vision is pushed by a community — an entire ecosystem —  the impact of our
collective efforts will be felt at a much faster and more sustainable pace,”
Garchitorena said.

UBX Introduces Startup Mixer; Zeroes In On Collaboration, Building Alliances

While already making strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Aboitiz
Power Corporation (AboitizPower) is pushing the envelope further in creating a
safe and welcoming workplace for all.
In a virtual forum on Tuesday, June 22, AboitizPower announced that it was
putting together a team tasked with developing more programs and policies under
its DEI initiative. Among these is the establishment of resource networks for
LGBT+, women at work, and “special life” team members, which include single
parents and differently-abled workers.

> Building a diverse and inclusive workforce does not happen overnight. It’s a
long-term endeavor and shared responsibility among us at AboitizPower. 
—Emmanuel V. Rubio, President and Chief Executive Officer, AboitizPower 
The activity is part of the company’s #BetterTogether series launched in October
last year to improve its team members’ knowledge and appreciation of
sustainability concepts. This time, the forum focused on “leading a diverse and
inclusive workforce” in line with the celebration of Pride Month.

During the event, AboitizPower bared plans to develop Employee Resource Groups
(ERG) that will assist team members with shared experiences in their personal or
career development and create a safe space for them to put their best foot
forward. While the concept is already being practiced under the company’s
mentorship program, this initiative seeks to expand it from a DEI perspective.

ERG may help improve working conditions for employees who may feel alienated,
address company-wide challenges, and decrease the chances of suppressed
frustrations within the workforce.

Emmanuel V. Rubio, (BOTTOM) AboitizPower Assistant Vice President-Branding and
Communications Janelle Jacinto.Although AboitizPower officially introduced the
DEI concept to its team members in 2019, Rubio said the company has always
strived to be inclusive and has never tolerated discrimination.

“We’re relatively new as far as diversity and inclusion are concerned. But I am
very proud of what we have achieved as a company and this is because of the work
that our team members have put in to get to where we are now,” Rubio added.

AboitizPower has institutionalized DEI as a critical component in its talent
management, recruitment, and employee integration governance and process as a
commitment to being an equal opportunity employer. Earlier this year, the
company announced the inclusion of domestic partners, whether common-law or
same-sex, as beneficiaries in its HMO coverage for employees.

“We’re not exactly there yet, but we are getting there. That’s why we have to
put all these measures and policies in place to ensure we are heading in the
right direction,” Rubio said.

Learning and development professional Jay Ian Fegalan, serving as the forum’s
keynote speaker, lauded AboitizPower’s DEI initiatives. He added that the
company might reach the level of those in more progressive western countries in
a few years.

“Looking at where you are right now, it’s already impressive, especially for a
company based in the Philippines, where it’s still traditionally conservative.
AboitizPower can become an example to other companies,” said Fegalan, Leadership
Pillar lead in the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP).

PFIP  is a collaborative, voluntary, and non-profit community of Pride/LGBT+
advocates and allies from private organizations in the Philippines. It is the
leading voice and champion of LGBT+ workplace inclusion. It promotes safe spaces
and inclusive opportunities for all talents regardless of their sexual
orientation, gender identity, expression, and characteristics.

“The dream is not to be talking about these things anymore, to not be mandating
policies, to not be measuring anything else. But until we reach that dream, we
need to be [deliberate with our mandates, policies, and programs],” Fegalan
added.

Get Philippines introduces fully-electric COMET buses at Aboitiz InfraCapital’s
Mactan Economic Zone 2 Estate 
One of the three COMET Buses by GET Cebu, parked near The Outlets at Pueblo
Verde, Visayas and Mindanao’s 1st authentic outlet mall destination— located
inside the MEZ2 Estate.Aboitiz Group, in partnership with GET Philippines
recently launched new routes of GET Cebu, a fleet of low-emission,
air-conditioned, and pollution-free COMET Buses developed by electric vehicle
manufacturer GET Philippines.

GET Cebu’s COMET Buses will serve four routes, namely—the Cebu North Route (SM
City Consolacion- Cebu IT Park), Cebu South Route (Minglanilla- Cebu IT Park),
Cebu Mactan Route  (Gaisano Grand Mall- Cebu IT Park, with a pick-up and
drop-off point at The Outlets at Pubelo Verde in MEZ2 Estate), and Cebu City
Route  (Shopwise Mambaling- Cebu- IT Park). 

In line with the continuous transformation of the Mactan Economic Zone 2 (MEZ2)
Estate, AIC Economic Estates Head Rafael Fernandez de Mesa shared the push for a
sustainable and eco-friendly transportation network like GET Cebu is key to
future-proof the estate and laying the foundation for next-generation smart
cities. 

“We want to create resilient spaces where we can also ensure the overall health
and wellness of our community and the environment. Strategic land use, a good,
flexible development plan, and a transport network that addresses traffic and
congestion with minimal environmental impact essentially prepare us for the
future needs of the communities we serve,” Fernandez de Mesa shared. 

In its launch event held at The Outlets at Pueblo Verde, GET Philippines
President Freddie Tinga shared that the development of the COMET Buses addressed
the need for safe and sustainable transport with a positive impact to the
environment. 

“We’re seeing two things that are happening in the world today that could be
ideal if we could bring them to the Philippines. One is the rise of the electric
vehicle to replace internal combustion engines, and the other is the app as a
transport solution. Here, we felt that here was the opportunity to put those two
things together and create a holistic transport solution for developing
markets,” Tinga said. 

Meanwhile, Philinsure and Cebu Leads Foundation President Gordon Alan Joseph
shared that the vision for GET Cebu is anchored on sustainability as the new
normal. 

“If there’s anything that the pandemic taught us, plus the [natural] disasters
we’ve had before…We cannot keep doing what we are doing to the environment. We
cannot let our commuters sit in diesel smoke from poorly-designed and
poor-quality vehicles,” Joseph said. 

The launch of GET Cebu also saw distinguished guests from the Aboitiz Group
which include Mr. Anton Perdices, Mr. Jokin Aboitiz, and Mr. Anthony Noel,
alongside VECO President and COO Engr. Raul Lucero and Engr. Raymund Villar from
the Mactan EnerZone. 

The Outlets at Pueblo Verde—Visayas and Mindanao’s 1st authentic outlet mall
destination—is located inside the MEZ2 Estate, an AIC Economic Estate operated
in partnership with the Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA).

AIC to transform LIMA into a smart, next-generation economic center in the
thriving investment hub of BatangasAboitiz InfraCapital (AIC) bares plans to
transform the LIMA Estate into a sustainable economic center to attract major
investments to support the country’s economic recovery. 

 AIC is looking to reshape its 794-hectare LIMA Estate in the Lipa-Malvar
industrial corridor into a smart, next-generation, future-ready economic center
to draw more businesses and green development into the region. 

 LIMA Land President and AIC Economic Estates Head Rafael Fernandez de Mesa said
the move towards sustainable, smart, and future-ready estates should draw more
investments into manufacturing and industries that would create tens of
thousands of jobs.

> “We’re putting our Environmental, Social, and Governance goals at the heart of
what we do, to enable us to create resilient spaces where we can also ensure the
overall health and wellness of our community and the environment,” Fernandez de
Mesa said.
 An additional 22,000 jobs are expected to be generated for the surrounding
communities in the Lipa-Malvar, Batangas, following another 57-hectare
industrial expansion to accommodate more locators in the LIMA Estate. 

 Early this year, AIC participated in a pilot program in partnership with the
Philippine Green Building Council (PhilGBC) to secure the BERDE District
Certification of the LIMA Estate.

Concurrently, it is also working with PhilGBC for the BERDE Building
Certification of the LIMA Tower One, the first of seven multi-storey office
buildings to be built at LIMA’s Central Business District, slated for completion
in 2024. 

Artist’s perspective of the soon-to-rise LIMA Tower One in the LIMA Estate,
Lipa-Malvar, BatangasBERDE Technical Manager Rowena Elayda lauds AIC’s
commitment to the sustainable development of the built environment. 

> “It is important for developers of wide-scale projects to incorporate
sustainability at the district-level to enable projects, such as the LIMA
Estate, to be the catalyst of change on how building owners design, construct
and operate their buildings,” Elayda shared. 
PhilGBC developed the BERDE program in 2009 to proactively address the adverse
impacts of climate change. The program, which has been recognized by the
government, established the Philippines' own national voluntary green building
rating system to facilitate sustainable projects.

 In addition, the LIMA Estate is also host to the Philippines’ 1st EDGE
Advanced-certified factory building, built and developed by Springhill Holdings.
The Springhill LIMA Standard Factory Building (SFB) received a preliminary EDGE
Advanced certification from the Philippine Green Building Initiative (PGBI) and
was built to serve any industry’s manufacturing processes or warehousing with
high vertical racking systems. 

 The EDGE certification is an innovation of the World Bank Group’s International
Finance Corporation (IFC), created to respond to the need for a measurable and
credible solution to prove the business case for building green and unlocking
financial investment. 

In line with these developments, Fernandez de Mesa emphasized the importance of
ensuring that AIC’s Economic Estates are poised to welcome sustainable locators
like Springhill as part of its commitment to enable businesses and uplift
communities. 

The Springhill LIMA Standard Factory Building in LIMA Estate, Lipa-Malvar,
Batangas“These certifications and green initiatives underscore our commitment to
ensure those who would choose our economic centers will find a home that checks
all the boxes in their ESG scorecards now and in the years to come.”

Officials of Brgy. NBBS-Proper and the City Social Welfare and Development
Office of Navotas facilitated the distribution of relief items to Sitio Puting
Bato after a fire incident that destroyed 50 homes.To provide immediate
assistance to affected families following a recent fire incident in Navotas
City, AboitizPower subsidiary Therma Mobile, Inc. (TMO) donated cooking
equipment and hygiene kits to its host community in Sitio Puting Bato, Barangay
NBBS-Proper.

TMO, in partnership with the Brgy. NBBS-Proper Office and the City Social
Welfare and Development Office of Navotas, distributed the relief items to
around 107 displaced families in the area. They are now settling in an
evacuation area in the city, while some were given temporary shelter by families
and neighbors.

The cooking equipment will ensure that the residents will be able to eat fresh
and healthy meals, while the hygiene kits will provide additional protection
from diseases.

Brgy. Captain Elvis Desabille expressed his appreciation citing TMO’s immediate
response after the said incident.

“We’re giving our wholehearted thanks to Therma Mobile for the help you provided
to our residents affected by the fire. We appreciate your immediate action to
give relief to us,” he said.

MANILA/SINGAPORE – UBX, the leading open finance platform in the Philippines, is
doubling down its focus on insurance technology (insurtech), introducing an
integrated employee financial wellness benefits ecosystem in Singapore. 
During the Insuretech Connect Asia conference in Singapore, UBX Head of Business
Development for Insurance Marc Gorospe formally introduced UBX’s Employee
Benefits Platform, an integrated employee benefit financial wellness ecosystem
that equips employees with financial tools and services, while also empowering
companies to streamline their employee benefits, processes, and initiatives in
one single platform.

Introduced in the Philippines earlier this year, the platform is an online
portal that distributes, manages, and supports financial resilience and wellness
through tools that allow employees to manage their finances and enable employers
to efficiently conduct human resource (HR) practices.

> We are honored to be part of Insuretech Connect, the largest global gathering of
innovators, industry players, and investors in the insurtech arena. We believe
that introducing UBX’s Financial Wellness Employee Benefits Program during this
conference is the best avenue for UBX to launch its first open finance product
in Singapore. 

-Marc Gorospe, Head of Business Development for Insurance, UBX
First rolled-out to UBX employees, UBX’s Employee Benefits Program integrates
insurance management systems, HR administration tools, Insurance management and
upsell/cross-sell, Earned Wage Access/Salary Loan, mental health and flexible
perks, and employee bonuses into one platform. 

It is a fully-customizable, modular and highly-scalable solution that also
allows companies to integrate their own benefits-related providers. 

PwC’s recent Employee Financial Wellness Survey
[https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/workforce-of-the-future/library/employee-financial-wellness-survey.html] 
recommends employers to provide their employees with tech-driven financial
wellness tools paired with executive guidance to prevent financial stress from
taking a toll on their well-being. 

The integrated employee benefit ecosystem also helps companies engage their
employees better by consolidating the very fragmented employee benefit
experience, while also introducing new financial wellness services. 

“We are strengthening our operations in Singapore beyond the office’s mandate to
invest in, partner with, and acquire startups that allows us to further drive
our agenda of including everyone through open finance,” UBX President John
Januszczak said.

The Aboitiz Group was recognized by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR) after it turned over the newly rehabilitated Boracay’s Balabag
Wetland Park to DENR and the Boracay LGU. This comes after four years of
intensive work in transforming the then “wasteland” into what is now a wetland
park. From right to left, AEV Assistant Vice President for Corporate External
Relations Missy De Guzman, former DENR Sec. Roy Cimatu, DENR Acting Sec. Jim
Sampulna, AEV Manager for Corporate External Relations Fatima Mateo, AEV First
Vice President for Corporate External Relations Christopher Camba, DENR USec
Ernesto Adobo, and AEV Manager for Corporate External Relations Marc Alejo.The
Aboitiz Group handed over the rehabilitated  Wetland No. 4 now known as the
Balabag Wetland Park to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) during a turnover ceremony held on June 16, 2022.  As a testament to the
Group’s commitment to the preservation of biodiversity and environmental
protection in the Boracay islands,  the one-hectare lagoon area in Barangay
Balabag has been transformed into a linear urban park in partnership with key
national government agencies led by the DENR Region VI, the Biodiversity
Management Bureau (BMB), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Tourism
Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), and the Department of
Tourism (DOT).

The event was attended by DENR Acting Sec. Jim Sampulna, Former DENR Sec. Roy A.
Cimatu, Aklan Governor Florencio Miraflores, Malay Mayor Frolibar Bautista, DENR
USec. Ernesto Adobo Jr., EMB Exec. Director Natividad Y. Bernardino, DILG USec
Epimaco Densing III, DOJ ASec Margaret Castillo - Padilla, TIEZA COO Mark Lapid,
 Dir. Martin Jose V. Despi from the Boracay Inter-Agency Rehabilitation
Management Group (BIARMG) and various representatives from project partners.

Aboitiz Group President and Chief Executive Officer Sabin M. Aboitiz emphasized
how central partnerships such as this are to the Aboitiz Group’s Transformation
journey. “The Aboitiz Group’s contribution to Boracay's rehabilitation is part
of our commitment to co-create safe, empowered, and sustainable communities. As
sustainability is a major part of our Great Transformation into the Philippines’
first techglomerate, we will continue to do our part to uplift and bring focus
to environmentally and socially impactful initiatives for all our stakeholders.
We are proud to have partnered with DENR, BMB, DPWH, TIEZA, DOT, and the LGU of
Boracay to build the Balabag Wetland Park, a space that we hope continues to
promote education for the community on the protection, conservation,
enhancement, and rehabilitation of Boracay’s natural ecosystems,” said the
Aboitiz chief.

A symbolic key turnover by AEV First Vice President for External Affairs
Christopher Camba to DENR 6 Executive Director Livino Duran, witnessed by other
representatives from the Aboitiz Group.For his part, DENR Acting Secretary Jim
Sampulna said, “The Balabag Wetland Park, formerly Wetland No. 4, is another
testament to the successful wetland rehabilitation of Boracay Island. My
heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Aboitiz Equity Ventures for being our partner
in the rehabilitation and transformation of Wetland No. 4 into an urban linear
park, which now serves as the center of the wetland ecotourism circuit of
Boracay. May the Balabag Wetland Park serve as a success story as we capitalize
on nature-based solutions such as wetland conservation and rehabilitation in our
localities for a greener, more sustainable, and resilient approach to building
back better.”

Dir. Natividad Y. Bernardino, OIC Director of the Biodiversity Management
Bureau, expressed deep appreciation for the partnership that made the
rehabilitation project possible. "The DENR and the BIATF (Boracay Inter-Agency
Task Force) are grateful to the Aboitiz Group for rehabilitating Wetland No. 4
under BMB's ‘Adopt-A-Wetland’ program. From being a ‘waste receptacle,’ Wetland
No. 4 has now been transformed into a lagoon with a linear park, attracting
tourists and locals right in the middle of Boracay's commercial area,” said Dir.
Bernardino.

Since the beginning of the rehabilitation project in 2018, the Aboitiz Group has
made it its aim to conceptualize and deploy nature-based solutions to create a
functional public space out of the wetland area. By using low-impact eco-tourism
designs, the Balabag Wetland Park has become not only a recreational space, but
also an educational and experiential space by generating awareness about the
importance of wetlands and creating opportunities for collaboration and
partnerships among the local community, students, and even tourists.

The newly rehabilitated Wetland No. 4 or Balabag Wetland Park in Boracay is now
open to locals and tourists after Aboitiz Group turned over the project to the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Balabag Wetland Park has
been transformed into a linear urban park in partnership with key national
government agencies led by the DENR, the Department of Public Works and
Highways(DPWH), the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority
(TIEZA), DENR Region VI and the Department of Tourism (DOT).Several improvements
have been made in the wetland area throughout its rehabilitation, which has not
only turned the Park into an enjoyable tourist spot but has also revived the
biodiversity of the wetland, evidenced by the return of endemic species of
plants and wild migratory birds in the area. Aerators have been installed to
maintain the water quality of the lagoon, while endemic trees and plants have
been planted along the lagoon’s perimeter boardwalk to help rebuild the
biodiversity in the area. An accompanying plaza was also constructed that serves
as both a flood management measure and an attraction site for tourists and
locals alike. The Balabag Wetland Park also features an activity area for
community events, and educational signages have been placed around the Park to
add to the experience.

The Aboitiz Group hopes that through the partnership project, it has been able
to contribute to the government’s mission of imparting the value of
environmental protection and the continued preservation of Philippine wetlands
to the greater community.

HELPING IMPROVE POWER RELIABILITY IN BATANGAS. Aboitiz Construction constructed
another overhead transmission lines for Lima Enerzone to provide a steady and
reliable power supply in Lima Estate in Batangas.Last month, Aboitiz
Construction successfully finished the construction of another 69kv overhead
transmission line project that consists of 37 electric poles for Lima Enerzone
(LEZ) in Lipa City, Batangas.

LIMA Enerzone is an electric distribution utility company under Aboitiz Power
Corporation which operates the distribution systems of LIMA Estate, a
794-hectare industrial-anchored area in Lipa-Malvar, Batangas. The transmission
lines traverse from LEZ’s  first substation to the newly constructed substation
of the said power distribution company.

Aboitiz Construction was mainly involved in labor works that include surveying
line route, excavating of pole foundations, installing rebar, concreting,
pre-casting of pole footings, erecting of pole segments, pole dressing, and
stringing of conductors up to the final sagging.

The project is part of a bigger move to enhance power delivery in Lima Estate
through a partnership between Aboitiz Construction and Lima Enerzone. Last
February, Aboitiz Construction completed the design and construction of the
first 69kV overhead transmission line project which aimed to improve power
reliability in the area.

“This project aligns with our commitment to help businesses thrive. The
completion of new electric facilities will help in the development and expansion
of the estate as it attracts more business locators in the area which will soon
translate into provision of more jobs and economic growth,” said Alex Garciano,
Aboitiz Construction’s Vice President for  Construction Operations.

As a trusted partner, Aboitiz Construction is currently the main contractor for
the land development of the second phase of LIMA Estate’s industrial expansion.
Once completed, the expansion project will  accommodate new businesses in the
area and can generate 22,000 job opportunities.
