The Aboitiz Future Leaders, the college scholarship program of Aboitiz Foundation, recently went on a learning visit to AP Renewables Inc. MakBan Geo, one of the geothermal power plants managed by the Aboitiz Power Corp.

The activity was an opportunity for the scholars to see firsthand the operations of a key player in the Philippine energy industry.

The activity is also a part of the learning sessions provided by the foundation to its scholars.

One of the scholars who joined the plant tour is Lance Esrac Matthew Calamiong, an Aboitiz Future Leader — Impact Team intern and a graduating mechanical engineering student from the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Lance has always been captivated by the energy sector, believing the massive influence and impact it holds over the country.

“One of the sectors I am really interested in joining is the energy sector. I have always wanted to serve the Filipino people and positively influence the lives of those living here in the country. As an engineer, what better way to impact the lives of the Filipinos than to help facilitate the electricity that aids the country’s continuous development.”

“I felt like a kid that was finally able to see up close and understand the reality of the stories that my teachers kept telling me about.”

The Aboitiz Future Leaders learning visit to the MakBan Geothermal Power Plant is more than just a tour; it’s an immersive experience that bridges academic knowledge with real-world applications.

By witnessing the operations of a geothermal facility, our scholars gain invaluable insights into renewable energy and sustainability, inspiring them to think critically about their role in building a better future for the country.

The Aboitiz Future Leaders college scholarship program is a gateway to a brighter future for young, talented individuals with exceptional leadership potential.

Beyond covering tuition fees, the Aboitiz provides personal and professional development opportunities to help Aboitiz scholars become future leaders.
