Meralco’s social
development arm One Meralco Foundation and football club Loyola
Meralco Sparks have teamed up once again with the Philippine Marine
Corps (PMC) for the annual Football for Peace Festival happening in Metro
Manila from April 23 to May 1, 2016.

Gandeza, Football for Peace co-founder Rookie Nagtalon, Loyola Meralco Sparks
Coach Simon McMenemy, Team Captain James Younghusband and Goalkeeper Ricardo Padilla.
The advocacy, which was started by
PMC in 2011 in Sulu, utilizes football as a tool to instill peace-loving values
of sportsmanship, camaraderie, teamwork and discipline in the minds of young
athletes, especially those living in conflict areas in the Autonomous Region of
Muslim Mindanao.
