Alsons Power Group's Sarangani Energy Corp. (SEC), which operates the 210-megawatt SEC baseload coal-fired power plant in Maasim, Sarangani Province, recently teamed up with the Maasim Local government and other community stakeholders to plant 300 bamboo and Narra trees and release more than 100 olive ridley sea turtle hatchlings. SEC and Maasim LGU personnel were joined by volunteers from the Philippine Army's 72nd Infantry Battalion, the Maasim Police Force, Community leaders, and students in planting the bamboo and Narra seedlings at the banks of the Sini-el River. The same volunteers later on released hatchlings of the threatened olive ridley sea turtle to Sarangani Bay from the Maasim Turtle Hatchery in Barangay Lumasal.
