Alsons Power’s Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) continues to operate at full capacity despite the magnitude 6.6 earthquake that struck Mindanao on June 26, demonstrating the resilience of its facilities and the effectiveness of the restoration work completed following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake earlier this month.
The June 26 earthquake was felt across parts of Mindanao, including Sarangani Province, where SEC’s 237-megawatt coal-fired power plant is located. Despite this, both of the plant’s 118.5-megawatt generating units remained fully operational and continued supplying reliable power to the Mindanao grid.
After the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that hit the Mindanao last June 8, Alsons Power restored Unit 1 of SEC on June 11 followed by the successful synchronization of Unit 2 on June 14, less than a week after the calamity. As engineering evaluations progressed amid continuing aftershocks, the company temporarily took Unit 1 offline on June 14 for additional restoration work and assessments before safely synchronizing it with the grid on June 23.
“Given the power supply conditions, it was with a sincere sense of urgency that we brought SEC back online as soon as possible. While we moved quickly to restore operations, we never compromised safety. Every decision we made was guided by our responsibility to protect our people and stakeholders, ensure the integrity of our facilities, and deliver reliable power to the communities and industries we serve,” said Antonio Miguel B. Alcantara, Chief Executive Officer of Alsons Power.
After completing critical testing and evaluations, SEC confirmed that both generating units were fully and safely synchronized with the grid.
“The safe and swift restoration of SEC is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and resilience of our teams who worked tirelessly following the earthquake,” Alcantara said.
While the plant is fully operational, proactive assessments of any additional restoration works and preventive maintenance remain scheduled to ensure long-term integrity and reliability of its operations.
Simultaneous with its operational recovery activities, Alsons Power mobilized relief operations for employees and earthquake-affected communities across Sarangani Province and General Santos City, providing food packs, drinking water, hot meals, and other essential assistance through the collective efforts of the Alcantara Group.

MOLD Manila launches Sclerotherapy, a highly precise, in-clinic medical solution targeting varicose and spider veins. Performed by certified medical professionals, the 30-minute treatment collapses damaged blood vessels for natural reabsorption, bridging advanced clinical science with premium, everyday aesthetic care.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines —Visible leg veins are a common concern that goes far beyond surface-level aesthetics. For many Filipinos, spider and varicose veins cause persistent physical discomfort, including aching, throbbing, and a heavy sensation after a long day. Addressing both the physiological and cosmetic aspects of vascular health, MOLD Manila highlights its specialized Sclerotherapy treatment—a gold-standard, minimally invasive procedure engineered to restore smooth, clear skin and effortless confidence.
Sclerotherapy is a highly precise, in-clinic procedure performed strictly by MOLD Manila’s expert medical team. The treatment involves injecting a specialized medical solution, known as a sclerosant, directly into the targeted damaged veins using an ultra-fine needle. This solution gently irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to safely collapse and seal shut. Over the following weeks, the body naturally reroutes blood flow to healthier, deeper veins, while the treated tissue is harmlessly reabsorbed and faded from view by the body’s natural metabolic processes.
“At MOLD Manila, we believe that true aesthetic care must be structural and deeply personal,” says Adrielle Costales, Founder and Clinical Director of MOLD Manila. “Sclerotherapy embodies this exact philosophy. We aren’t simply erasing lines on the skin; we are restoring physical comfort and molding the underlying confidence our clients deserve to feel every single day.”
True to MOLD Manila’s signature education-first framework, every Sclerotherapy journey begins with a rigorous, personalized vascular mapping consultation. This ensures maximum patient safety, precise targeting, and optimal, long-lasting results tailored to individual skin and health profiles. Because the procedure requires no surgery or downtime, busy professionals can seamlessly return to their daily routines immediately following their 15 to 30-minute session.
The spotlight on Sclerotherapy arrives during a season of milestone celebrations at the clinic, which recently marked its sixth anniversary and expanded its premium clinical medical services. To honor this journey, MOLD Manila is currently extending exclusive rewards, custom consultation packages, and curated treatment bundles through its digital platforms.
Patrons and skincare enthusiasts looking to invest in flawless, vein-free skin are encouraged to secure their slots early, as clinic bookings for specialized medical procedures remain limited.

MOLD Manila is a premium, clinician-led aesthetic clinic based in Quezon City, Philippines. Known for its technology-driven, non-surgical treatments and personalized care, the clinic specializes in skin rejuvenation, non-invasive contouring, laser treatments, and IV wellness therapies.
