CLARK FREEPORT — The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) recently commended the fire brigade teams here for their commitment to safety.
CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera lauded the 28 fire brigade teams from various locators within the Freeport, highlighting them as safety “force multipliers” during the kickoff event for the observance of National Fire Prevention Month in Clark over the weekend.
Atty. Devanadera said that the fire brigade teams in Clark enhance the state-run firm’s safety measures, increase preparedness, and improve response capabilities, thereby amplifying the effectiveness of CDC’s safety initiatives.
“Without you, it would be very difficult for the CDC as a company, as the estate manager, to implement strict fire prevention. Kayo yung kasama sa pag-responde. Iilan lang kami dito sa CDC, pero nadudugtungan ninyo. And that’s how important and valuable you are to us, the Clark Development Corporation, and the community as a whole,” Atty. Devanadera said.
Representatives from various fire brigade teams here were present during the event including those from the CDC, Clark Global City Corporation, Yokohama Tire Philippines, Inc., La Rose Noire Philippines, SMK Electronics (Phils.) Corp., Aderans Phiippines, Inc., Clark Water Corp., and Haesung DS Philippines Inc.
Other participating fire brigade teams were from Filinvest Mimosa Inc., Prudence Dev. and Management Corp., Bestelement Industrial Ltd. Inc., Fwu Kuang Enterprises Corp., Quest Plus Conference Center, Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corp., Target Lighting Mftg. Corp., and Multi-Tek Fasteners Incorporated.
Moreover, the group also comprises Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), Tanika (Philippines) Corp., Outback Five Star Clark Phils., Inc., Coam Phils., Inc., Amertron, Inc., Clark Electric Distribution Corp., Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort, JETTForce Integrated Security Systems Inc., Win Formula Inc., Aviat Networks (Clark) Corp., Hann Philippines, Inc., and the Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines.
Also present during the kickoff event were CDC Vice President for Security Services Group PMGen. Lina Sarmiento (Ret.), Manager for Public Safety Division Col. Herbert Angeles (Ret.) and other CDC officials.
This year’s National Fire Prevention Month carries the theme “Sa Pag-iwas sa Sunog, Hindi ka Nag-iisa.”
Fire Prevention Month, observed in March, is founded on Presidential Proclamation No. 115-A, signed by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos, and Proclamation No. 360, with the objective of raising awareness and promoting fire safety nationwide.
