CEMEX strengthens ties, brings employment in Antipolo City

CEMEX Holdings Philippines (CHP) recently paid a courtesy visit to the new Antipolo City Mayor Andrea B. Ynares. The meeting served as an avenue for the company to reiterate its support to the local government through the construction of a US$235-milllon new cement production line at the company’s Solid Cement Plant in Barangay San Jose, Antipolo City. The expansion is expected to boost economic activity in the area via employment generation and additional tax revenues, as well as provide support to the country’s “Build, Build, Build” program.

Likewise, CEMEX continues to implement social development programs to help elevate the living standards and create positive impact on the residents of Antipolo City. Through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, CEMEX Philippines Foundation, the company regularly conducts various programs such as medical missions, tree-planting and clean-up drives, health and nutrition drives, and disaster preparedness and safety training for the local communities.

The courtesy call was led by CEMEX President and CEO Ignacio Mijares (3rd from left).
