Metro Pacific Investments Foundation

BIKE LIVELIIHOOD PROGRAM WITH METRO PACIFIC INVESTMENTS FOUNDATION

MPIF, Neo Zigma Cycling Corporation, and Interval Gear Events Management signify the partnership for the 1st Philippine Cycling Festival, benefiting MPIF’s Puhunang Pangkabuhayan program for alternative livelihood. 

Cycling has been a go-to fitness activity that has yielded benefits for physical health and the environment. Since the pandemic, there was a noticeable influx of business ventures involving bicycles, primarily in food delivery and logistics. Beyond enthusiasts, the cycling community now houses more small-scale entrepreneurs. 

With MPIF’s existing programs aligned with environmental protection, reduction of carbon footprint, and alternative livelihood generation, Neo Zigma and IGEM selected the Foundation to be the sole beneficiary of the event. 

The “Bike for Livelihood” program with MPIF, First Pacific Co. Ltd., One Meralco Foundation, PLDT-Smart Foundation, and Maynilad, will distribute more than 500 bicycles to beneficiaries across the country, most of whom lost their sources of income to the COVID-19 pandemic.
