Signify supports LGU disaster readiness initiatives in Itogon, Benguet

Dialysis and evacuation center in Malasin Ucab

Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), a world leader in lighting, is continuing its advocacy for disaster-ready lighting solutions through its latest public project in Itogon, Benguet. The municipality of Itogon unveiled its new dialysis and evacuation center at Malasin Ucab, complete with reliable solar street lighting from Signify Philippines.

The municipality has partnered with Signify Philippines to install LED solar street lighting in the area. This is crucial as areas struck with typhoons or earthquakes often lose connection to the power grid immediately, leaving them in the dark as they try to deliver life-saving relief operations to those most in need.

As climate change escalates, and with the country’s energy shortage, it becomes increasingly crucial for Philippine LGUs to prioritize disaster preparedness and enhance solutions that maximize effectiveness and efficiency. Signify remains committed to partnering with more LGUs, helping them strengthen their disaster readiness and provide tailored lighting solutions to protect their people.

Signify has worked with cities like Puerto Princesa, Ormoc, Valenzuela, and General Santos for citywide upgrades through high-performing LED and solar street lighting technologies
