Ensuring access to clean, reliable water remains a pressing development priority across various provinces and cities in the Visayas and Mindanao. Climate variability, rapid urbanization, and ecological shifts have put strain on natural water sources, underscoring the need for sustainable water management systems to support both local communities and economic growth.
To address these challenges, BDO Unibank Inc. has been a steadfast financing partner for Mactan Rock Industries Inc.—a Cebu-based, technology-driven water solutions provider with more than 40 years of expertise in water treatment and supply.
BDO’s support, spanning nearly two decades, includes revolving credit lines, letters of credit, and import financing. These facilities have empowered Mactan Rock to scale its operations and invest in modern equipment and technologies—delivering cleaner water to more households, industries, and clients throughout the Philippines.
“We have worked with resorts, barangays and water-scarce districts in urban areas. By deploying customized water systems, we have seen improvements not just in sanitation but in the overall quality of life”, said Mactan Rock Chairman and President Lito R. Maderazo.
From major establishments like SM Cebu and SM Iloilo to hospitals and tourism hubs, Mactan Rock’s projects reflect its commitment to sustainable development. Scaling such initiatives requires long-term capital, and BDO’s role has been pivotal in enabling these high-impact efforts.
“Water treatment requires significant upfront investment and it often takes years to recover. BDO’s trust and support help move our business forward. The Bank has been instrumental in financing our projects,” Maderazo added.
“Our partnership with Mactan Rock signifies BDO’s commitment to supporting noteworthy initiatives that drive long-term value for communities and businesses. Access to clean water is crucial to build resilient communities and sustainable economic progress,” said Charles M. Rodriguez, BDO Executive Vice President and Head of the Institutional Banking Group.
Sustainability lies at the core of Mactan Rock’s approach. The company avoids over-extraction of groundwater and focuses on wastewater recycling and rainwater harvesting—solutions that are both environmentally responsible and economically viable.
Looking ahead, Mactan Rock is preparing for expansion into Luzon, especially Metro Manila, where rising population density and water demand continue to grow. With BDO’s ongoing backing, the company is set to deliver its water solutions to even more communities nationwide.
