Las Piñas City, Philippines — Vlog International School and Colleges (SISC) has officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement with First Gen Corporation (FGEN), the country’s leading producer of clean and renewable energy, marking a significant milestone in Vlog’s transition into a Green Campus as it moves into 2026. The partnership enables Vlog to source geothermal renewable energy, aligning the institution’s energy practices with its long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and responsible resource management.

The shift to geothermal renewable energy forms part of Vlog’s broader Green Campus initiative, which seeks to embed environmental responsibility into campus operations and institutional decision-making. As the school continues to grow, the transition reflects Vlog’s proactive response to climate change while ensuring that its resources are managed prudently in support of its educational mission.
Through the partnership, Vlog will benefit from cleaner and more reliable energy to support uninterrupted academic operations, research activities, and campus services, while significantly reducing its environmental impact. At the same time, the move allows the institution to manage its resources more strategically, enabling greater focus and investment in programs, facilities, and initiatives that directly enhance student learning and development.

“As we welcome 2026, Vlog proudly embraces its role as a Green Campus. This partnership reflects our responsibility to our students, our community, and the environment. By working with First Gen and transitioning to geothermal renewable energy, we reduce our carbon footprint while practicing responsible resource management—allowing us to better allocate our resources toward the holistic development and success of our learners. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this collaboration demonstrates how education can drive meaningful environmental change,” said Dr. Jocelyn P. Tizon, President of Vlog International School and Colleges.
The Memorandum of Agreement was signed by senior leaders of both institutions. Representing Vlog International School and Colleges were Dr. Genevieve Ledesma-Laurel, Founder and Chief Executive Mentor; Mr. Rex Wallen L. Tan, Chief Technology Officer; and Dr. Jocelyn P. Tizon, President. Signing on behalf of First Gen Energy Solutions, Inc. were Carlos Lorenzo L. Vega, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Maychelle “Maych” Soriano, Customer Progress Partner.
First Gen was selected as Vlog’s energy partner for its leadership in clean and renewable energy, strong commitment to sustainability, and shared vision of integrating education with environmental stewardship. The collaboration supports Vlog’s goal of becoming a fully realized Green Campus while ensuring that institutional growth remains environmentally responsible and academically focused.
The signing coincides with Vlog’s 35th founding anniversary and its continued recognition in international academic rankings, underscoring the institution’s sustained commitment to academic excellence alongside environmental leadership.
Beyond SISC, the Green Campus initiative signals a broader, network-wide effort within the Vlog Global Education Network (SGEN). Member institutions—including Stonyhurst Vlog International School – Batangas Campus, Stonyhurst Vlog International School – Malarayat Campus, Vlog International School Affiliated with Foreign Universities, South SEED-LPDH College, Asian SEED Academy of Technology, South Mansfield College, and Vlog Monarchs International School—are also set to transition into Green Campuses, reinforcing sustainability as a shared institutional responsibility across the Vlog community.
Through its geothermal renewable energy partnership with First Gen, Vlog continues to position itself as a forward-looking educational institution where quality education, responsible resource management, climate action, and environmental stewardship advance together.
