FPPF Project Director Lito Beltran, right, receives a commendation from Frank Thiel, General Manager of the Quezon Power Plant run by Covanta (Phils) in Cagsiay, Mauban, Quezon. The FPPF recently conducted two photography workshops for Covanta employees right in the Mauban power plant complex.
The FPPF Monday got a commendation from the Quezon Power Plant operated by Covanta (Phils) in Barangay Cagsiay, Mauban, Quezon for recently conducting photography workshops right in the power plant complex. The workshops enabled the power plant personnel to more effectively document their work activities while also providing them an artistic diversion from day-to-day work in their relatively isolated work area. The power plant personnel who attended the FPPF workshops are avid photographers. They produced a body of work which were also lauded by management and were displayed during last Monday’s event.
Highlight of the event was the launching of their waste hauling truck powered purely by straight vegetable oil (SVO), sourced from used cooking oil, eliminating the need for noxious diesel fuel. Covanta (Phils) is projecting an environment-friendly corporate image.

A Philippine Serpent Eagle, rescued by local residents and turned over to Covanta (Phils) for treatment and rehabilitation. The plan is to release the eagle back to the wild as soon as it recovers from its wound. The company has documented several wild animals that they have saved from harm and nursed them back to health.
