| KEPPEL-GK ECO VILLAGE |
|
|
|
It used to be a dumpsite with used cars, garbage and overgrown shrubs. A few kilometers from the Keppel Batangas Shipyard, what you’ll see today is the Keppel-GK Eco Village, a tightly-knit community of 52 families sprawled over a spacious lot shaded by mango trees. This is possible because of the coming together of people from two different shores: Singaporeans and Filipinos working towards one vision.
Designed to be an eco-friendly community surrounded by lush greens and sceneries, the village today also has a Sibol Learning Center, a Multipurpose Hall, and a covered court where the community holds their events.

Poh Leong Kok, President of Keppel Batangas Shipyard, echoed Mr. Yeo’s desire to give back by saying, “We want to contribute by empowering lives and nurturing the communities where we operate.”

“Some may be born more fortunate and some less, but it’s always our duty, us who are well off, to try to contribute to those who are not doing so well. There’s no first class human, second class human or third class human. We are all equal.”
- Poh Leong Kok, President of Keppel Batangas Shipyard
