‘Green jeepneys’ now ply Cagayan de Oro

Posted by Primavera Residences on

THE first ever electric passenger jeepneys in Northern Mindanao are only found in this capital city and regional center.

Environment-friendly and cost-efficient, these e-jeepneys can be found in Mindanao’s benchmark for eco-friendly developments—Pueblo de Oro Business Park—plying as shuttle services in its environs, especially to and from the surrounding subdivisions, mall and universities.

But plans are in the boards to bring the e-jeepneys out of Pueblo de Oro and into the city’s thoroughfares as part of Pueblo de Oro’s campaign for the environment.

The only hindrance to make this a reality is the lack of franchise from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), said Rommel T. Juan, vice president of PhUV Inc., one of Filipino companies that make the e-jeepneys.

Juan told journalists during a press conference, July 5, following the launching of Primavera Residences, the first environment-friendly condominium high-rise in Northern Mindanao, that e-jeepneys are the commuters’ vehicle for the future, which he said is already here in the present.

‘Green’ Project in Cagayan de Oro Eyed

Posted by Primavera Residences on

ITALPINAS INC. is putting up the first “green” eco-sustainable building complex in Cagayan de Oro, which is capable of generating part of its own electricity requirements for the buildings’ common spaces.

In a briefing yesterday, Italpinas chief executive Romolo Nati said the building was designed to have energy-saving and energy-generating features as the two buildings will be equipped with solar panels at the rooftop.

Nati said the use of solar panels could help lower the electricity bill that will be charged to tenants for the use of the common areas and facilities such as the gym and hallways, among others.
