Mall developer Ever-Gotesco Resources and Holdings, Inc. is undergoing a quasi-reorganization of its capital stock and changing its corporate name as part of plans to diversify into the agri-tourism and bamboo industries.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said it is decreasing its authorized capital stock to P2.5 billion divided into 25 billion shares with a par value of P0.10 to eliminate debt.

After this, it will increase its authorized capital stock to P7.5 billion to raise fresh capital to fund the expansion to new business ventures and change the company name to Everwoods Green Resources and Holdings, Inc.
As part of its plan to shift to agri-tourism, Ever is now operating its agri-tourism resort in Batulao, Batangas, with growth gearing towards a green vision of sustainability.
The bamboo project is a new investment which aims to generate growing recurring income in the next few years. A bamboo nursery will be established within the company’s property in addition to contract farmers that will ensure exponential and inclusive growth.
The company plans to put up a processing facility in Batangas to employ locals to manufacture bamboo furniture and decors. These products would then be exported to capture a slice of the billion-dollar industry in the world market.
