Italpinas Development Corporation Extends Support to Typhoon-Affected Families while forging partnerships in Sto. Tomas, Batangas

In a dedicated effort to support the various communities and families in Sto. Tomas Batangas, Italpinas Development Corporation recently organized an outreach program to aid the families largely affected by the recent Typhoon Kristine. The initiative, led by IDC’s Chairman and CEO, Architect Romolo V. Nati, saw relief packs distributed across three barangays heavily affected by the typhoon's destructive impact.

The community outreach program, held last October 30 2024, embodied IDC's commitment to corporate social responsibility, aiming to provide immediate aid to those in need. By reaching out to these affected areas, the IDC team offered essential goods to help the families cope with the storm's aftermath, which disrupted many lives and livelihoods across the region. The relief packs, which contained rice, canned goods, ready-to-eat noodles, chocolates and biscuits, and coffee among many others, were thoughtfully prepared to address the basic necessities of the affected families.

Beyond extending support to affected residents, Architect Nati also took the opportunity to engage in discussions with key local leaders to explore sustainable development opportunities in Sto. Tomas. He made a courtesy call with Atty. Arth Jhun Marasigan - Mayor of Sto. Tomas and Congressman Hon. Ray T. Reyes, where they discussed economic plans that align with IDC’s mission to foster sustainable urban development. These conversations centered on future growth strategies for the city, with a focus on sustainable and green projects that could enhance the quality of life for residents while promoting environmental stewardship.

As part of this visit, Architect Nati also connected with the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) to discuss potential collaborations with IDC and its Miramonti project. By working closely with CENRO, IDC aims to support the city’s environmental goals and integrate sustainable practices within its developments.

Additionally, Architect Nati met with the City Planning Officer to better understand Sto. Tomas’s disaster readiness, local government unit (LGU) initiatives for calamity response, and how IDC can further contribute to disaster-resilient infrastructure. Through these conversations, IDC is exploring ways to incorporate Sto. Tomas's resilience goals into its projects, offering a proactive approach to both sustainable growth and disaster preparedness.

This outreach initiative, coupled with Architect Nati’s meaningful engagements with local leaders and offices, highlights IDC’s dedication to being more than a developer. IDC is committed to buildin
