Batangas, Philippines, June 24, 2026 — Caltex Philippines successfully released 146 sea turtle hatchlings into open waters recently, bringing the total number of turtles nurtured through the program to 4,261 over the years. Each release represents a meaningful step toward supporting the growth of the species in Batangas and maintaining balance within the local marine ecosystem.
This milestone is part of Caltex’s
sustained commitment to environmental stewardship, anchored in nearly two
decades of coastal cleanup initiatives along its Batangas terminal. These
efforts have helped transform sections of the shoreline into safer nesting
grounds for Olive Ridley sea turtles—a species increasingly threatened by
illegal trade and plastic pollution. By maintaining cleaner, more protected
coastal environments, Caltex continues to support conditions where marine life
can thrive.
Caltex’s annual coastal cleanup
program reflects its broader approach to sustainability and responsible
operations. Beyond its role as an energy provider, the company remains
committed to initiatives that advance environmental protection while contributing
to the long-term well-being of host communities across the Philippines.
