Lighting the Way: Gladys Vergara’s ‘Glad to Be Green’ Initiative Brings Solar Streetlights to Country Club Village and Loakan Liwanag

Baguio City – In a powerful step toward sustainability and community welfare, Glad to Be Green advocate Gladys Vergara has spearheaded the donation of solar streetlights to Barangays Country Club Village and Loakan Liwanag. This initiative not only ensures safer streets but also reinforces the city’s shift toward renewable energy solutions.


Joined by sustainability champions Glenn Gaerlan and Eric Kelly, Vergara continues to push for lasting, eco-friendly initiatives that empower communities. The solar streetlights, now illuminating key areas in the barangays, offer more than just light—they symbolize progress, resilience, and a commitment to a greener future.


Barangay Captains Nestor Almag and Abraham Urmaza, alongside their councils and residents, warmly welcomed the initiative, recognizing its profound impact on safety and sustainability.


“We are not just installing lights; we are paving the way for a cleaner, brighter, and more self-sustaining Baguio,” Vergara shared. “This is about community-driven change—real, lasting, and impactful.”


As Glad to Be Green continues to champion renewable energy and environmental advocacy, this latest project stands as a testament to the power of collective action in shaping a better, more sustainable future.
