The two firms recently signed a retail electricity supply agreement to provide reliable and cost-effective power to BQ Mall in Tagbilaran City, the province’s capital. The partnership is a strategic step toward modernizing the facility’s energy infrastructure and enhancing operational resilience.
Tradition meets sustainability
BQC president Raymund G. Ong emphasized the significance of the deal: “As a longstanding commercial center, BQ Mall has always upheld exceptional retail service. This energy partnership ensures that we continue our tradition with improved reliability and sustainability.”
Founded in 1945, BQC has been a cornerstone in Bohol’s retail landscape, evolving with the times while staying rooted in community service. This latest venture with Vantage Energy signals its commitment to both innovation and sustainability.
Aligning for impact
Vantage Energy president Ernesto M. Cabral described the partnership as a union of shared values: “This reflects our joint commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability. Together, we aim to create meaningful impact—not only for our organizations but for the communities and industries we support.”
The agreement marks Vantage Energy’s first entry into the Bohol market, expanding its mission to provide competitively priced power to contestable customers nationwide, while also advancing energy efficiency and supporting local development through corporate social responsibility programs. —Ed: Corrie S.
