Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary under the umbrella of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), proudly announces the successful execution of its recently inaugurated ‘Linis Barangay’ greening initiative program. The initiative commenced in Barangay Biga II, Silang, Cavite in April, followed by a subsequent launch in Brgy. Aplaya, Kawit, Cavite this May.

This project underscores MPT South’s initiative-taking stance in supporting barangays within its host local government units (LGUs) by aiding in their weekly clean-up drive initiatives. The enthusiastic involvement of the community during these events underscores a collective dedication to environmental preservation.
Various divisions and departments of MPT South, including Communication and Stakeholder Management, Tollway Development Engineering – Project Management Department, and Project Support Services Department, collaborated with project contractors, barangay officials, and volunteers to execute the clean-up activities effectively.
To facilitate these efforts, MPT South supplied essential cleaning materials such as brooms, dustpans, garbage bags, rakes, and shovels. These provisions significantly contributed to the efficiency of the clean-up endeavors.
Expressing gratitude for the initiative, Barangay Captain Joseline Revilla remarked, “Nagpapasalamat kami sa pamunuan ng CALAX sa pagvolunteer sa paglilinis dito sa inyong kapitbahay na barangay, Brgy. Biga II, Silang. Malaking bagay po ito pati na rin ang donasyon niyong karagdagang cleaning materials para magamit namin sa mga susunod pa na proyekto,” said Barangay Captain Joseline Revilla.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the leadership of CALAX for volunteering in the clean-up drive here in our neighboring barangay, Brgy. Biga II, Silang. This is of significant importance, as well as your donation of additional cleaning materials, which we can utilize for future projects.”

The Linis Barangay project was designed by MPT South to collaborate with different barangays within its host communities, engaging in monthly clean-up drives to promote cleanliness and sanitation. MPT South remains committed to fostering a cleaner and healthier environment through volunteer engagement and partnerships with local authorities.
Expressing appreciation for the inaugural ‘Linis Barangay’ Clean-Up Drive, Ms. Arlette V. Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management Division of MPT South, stated,
“Kami’y lubos na nagpapasalamat sa aming mga volunteer employees na nakilahok sa kauna-unahang ‘Linis Barangay’ Clean-Up Drive. Sa pamamagitan ng mga ganitong klaseng programa, maliit man o malaki, tayo’y nakatutulong sa ating mga kapit-bahay na barangay. Makakaasa kayo na mas maraming partnership pa ang aming bubuuin para sa pagpapatuloy ng ‘Linis Barangay’ project,” said Ms. Arlette V. Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management Division of MPT South.
“We are deeply grateful to our employee volunteers who participated in the pioneering ‘Linis Barangay’ Clean-Up Drive. Through initiatives like this, whether small or large, we contribute to our neighboring barangays. Rest assured; we are forging more partnerships for the continuous success of the ‘Linis Barangay’ project.”
MPTC, as the largest toll road developer and operator in the Philippines, oversees a vast network of toll roads, including CALAX, Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), NLEX Connector Road, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCL EX) in Cebu.
