Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, partnered with Radio Mindanao Network (RMN) to celebrate the RMN River Festival in Iloilo City, a week-long event dedicated to raising awareness about the preservation and protection of the city’s vital river system.
The festival highlighted Ilonggo culture, heritage, and the importance of river stewardship through activities such as a fishing competition, a community river clean-up, fingerling dispersal, and the traditional baroto (boat) race. AIC supported these initiatives to strengthen its ties with local communities and advocate for sustainable practices.
Christopher M. Camba, AIC Head of Corporate Affairs, said: “Our participation in the RMN River Festival is a reflection of AIC’s commitment to building meaningful partnerships with the communities we serve—in this case, Iloilo City. It’s not just about celebrating Iloilo’s rich culture and heritage—it’s about actively contributing to initiatives that protect our environment and create lasting impact for the Ilonggo community.”
AIC team members joined Ilonggo residents in hands-on activities that underscored the river’s ecological and cultural significance. The event culminated in the awarding of baroto race winners and the planting of seedlings, symbolising a collective effort to safeguard Iloilo’s natural heritage for future generations.
This initiative reflects AIC’s broader vision of integrating sustainability and community engagement across its infrastructure portfolio, which includes water solutions, digital infrastructure, transport and mobility, and economic estates (see business units).
