About Us
Saving the Marine
Ecosystem
Cleaning up the shoreline and the ocean is everybody’s business. This is the message imparted by the Shore It Up campaign of Metro Pacific Investments Foundation. “We Filipinos love the beach; this is our way of spreading the message that, it’s time every one of us do our part. We have seen the devastation of the recent typhoons, especially after tons of garbage are left when the flood subsided.
“We hope everyone realizes what this means. We should do something; it’s time to clean up,” said Ms. Melody del Rosario.
Shore It Up is the corporate social responsibility project of MPIC under Metro Pacific Investments Foundation (MPIF). It focuses on underwater and coastal clean-up as its core activity. Yearly, Shore It Up also engages in various environmental rescue, restoration and revival activities such as mangrove planting, tree planting, giant clam seeding, giant clam moving, and artificial reef installation to name a few.

Founder
Board of Advisors
Our practice in Shore it Up is not far from our corporate culture in MPIC, we engage technical partners who are experts in the industry to give us insights in achieving our long-term goals. The quest to raise the level of awareness on our marine ecosystem has gone beyond coastal cleanup. We realized that if we want to create a bigger, deeper and lasting impact, our journey, should be well-guided, saving the foundation’s precious time and funding; while avoiding possible setbacks. And so we have formed SIU’s board of advisors: Chosen because they stood out from the rest, possess solid experiences, generous in sharing information and passionate in their field.
