As ACCIONA proudly celebrates its global impact and commitment to sustainable solutions, the Philippines stands as a testament to the company's dedication to innovation and social responsibility. In the Philippines, ACCIONA has strategically woven a tapestry of transformative projects that elevate the quality of life for communities.

With La Camara celebrating its 125th anniversary, ACCIONA's presence stands as a symbol of the enduring ties between the Philippines and Spain, both contributing significantly to a better world. In Manila, ACCIONA's Southeast Asia headquarters serves as a center where project innovations and sustainability merge, revolutionizing how infrastructure is conceptualized and implemented.

Transportation lies at the core of ACCIONA's endeavors in the Philippines. The Cebu-Cordova Bridge, an engineering marvel spanning 8.5 kilometers, stands as the country's longest and tallest bridge. Beyond its structural prowess, the bridge embodies a profound symbolism with illuminated crosses adorning the two main pylons, drawing inspiration from Magellan's Cross. This remarkable infrastructure serves as a testament to ACCIONA's goal of fostering connectivity, seamlessly blending engineering excellence with local culture.

Meanwhile, the ongoing construction of the Malolos-Clark Railway, is reshaping the Philippines' transportation landscape with cutting-edge rail connectivity, notably achieving the first-ever Airport Railway Express Service linking Makati to Clark in just 55 minutes. Reflecting on its historical roots as the "Spanish Railway". This railway system evolved into the present-day Philippine National Railways (PNR) network. The railway symbolizes progress, connecting the past and present as it propels the nation toward a more interconnected future.

ACCIONA's impact extends beyond transportation. Our water infrastructure team is currently building its third water treatment plant around Laguna Lake, with a combined water supply that will serve millions of households. ACCIONA has partnered up with Metro Manila’s major water concessionaires, contributing to SDG # 6 – provision of clean water and sanitation to growing communities of over six million Filipinos.

While ACCIONA is committed to building sustainable infrastructure, it is equally devoted to illuminating lives. ACCIONA.ORG and Ayala Foundation’s Light at Home El Nido Program, ensures that even the most remote areas of Palawan gain access to electricity through solar home units, empowering underserved barangays and fostering sustainable growth.

In the energy sector, ACCIONA Energia embarks on a journey in the Philippines, for the development rights of wind and solar projects.

The company's commitment to sustainable infrastructure, technological innovation, and community welfare, creates a blueprint for the next generation of responsible global corporations. ACCIONA's story is not just about infrastructure; it's a narrative of progress, connectivity, and a shared vision for a better, more sustainable planet.
