CHAPTER 4
COMPANY AND MANAGEMENT
Overview
The Grow Ph Company is a creator of mobile application, it measures its
environmental impacts across the whole application lifestyle. The company's flagship
application is Grow Ph, that is available and can be downloaded both in IOS and
Android. And helps the earth in over 200 countries or territories. The Grow Ph
Company is headquartered in Baguio City, Philippines. After taking into
consideration the present problems that most people are facing. The team was able to
see that most students find it hard to focus on listening to their instructors who are
teaching through different online platforms. Since the instructors cannot see what
their students are really doing, the students are given too much freedom to do
whatever they please which now leads to students paying lesser attention to their
discussions and started prioritizing browsing on their social media accounts. The
same happens to career people since they are now not in the workplace setting and
now in the comfort of their houses with unlimited free time to open different mobile
applications, laziness and browsing online is the only thing that takes most of their
time rather than accomplishing their tasks.
Aside from the mentioned problem above that was observed by the team, they
have also noted another problem within their city, Baguio City. There are certain
private organizations who have promised to plant trees to replace the trees they will
cut in order to expand their business’ store. After their expansion project was
accomplished, this organization already forgot what they promised and chose to
create a garden that is way too far from what they have proposed. The team made
other researches and found out that there will be more cutting of trees that will
happen within the city as the local government tries to improve the city through
constructing various buildings and infrastructures. The team thought that tall
buildings and beautiful infrastructures are not the reason why the city of Baguio is
known by the tourists. They city’s green environment, cold weather and fresh air is
the reason why tourists visit the city. It is because of its breath-taking and natural

beauty that creates a calm and refreshing environment. This now led to the team’s
idea of creating a mobile application that will try to solve both problems.
Grow PH will be a partnership which will be comprised of partners and will look
for different partnerships with other institutions which will be our team in promoting
our advocacies. We will be connecting with different organizations (eg. orphanages),
which will be included in the application and the users may choose to donate on the
said organization through monetary terms or in kind. Our partners may be those who
want to participate in preserving our city’s beauty and contribute to creating generous
hearts.
