“EDC makes me a real man and turns my dreams into reality. I’d like to thank EDC for giving me the opportunity to serve the company for 30 years despite so many challenges—work-related and even family-related trials.” These were the words of Samuel Ramirez, one of the awardees from Leyte Facility Operations & Maintenance

He further shared that the harmonious relationship between management and employees lightened his load and paved the way for his continued success.

Ramirez is just one of the many individuals who served as EDC’s strong foundation in fulfilling its corporate responsibilities and overarching mission. It is essential for EDC to recognize and celebrate our co-creators in our mission of decarbonization and regeneration.

In a virtual event, EDC recognized and celebrated 200 service awardees who have been sharing their skills and talents with the Company for the past 10- 30 years. We also highlighted over 40 individuals and groups who received external recognition in 2021.

Following a “blast-in-the-past” theme, EDC honored these EDC Rock Stars. They championed their commitment to excellence as they helped the company fulfill its mission to forge collaborative pathways for a decarbonized and regenerative future. They are critical contributors for EDC to maintain its stature as the country’s largest 100% RE producer amidst the ongoing pandemic.
