(Actual Picture of Madam President while waiving her hand to the crowd: Sepung Bulaon Elementary School)PORAC -- Despite bad weather, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo inspected the status of various infrastructure projects in this town on Monday.
Among the projects she inspected are the Pias-Balubad Road Improvement Project (PBRIP), the Kalayaan Barangay School Building Project (KBSBP) for the Sepung Bulaun Elementary School, and the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Palat Potable Water System Expansion Project (PPWSEP).
The P6.33-million asphalting program of the PBRIP, which was funded through the President’s Social Fund, will provide fast, convenient and better mobility of goods and services to and from the various barangays in Porac, including Pias, Salu, Balubad, Sepung Bulaon, and Pulung Santol.
The KBSBP, meanwhile, is a school building construction project that hopes to address the lack of classrooms for students.
Through the efforts of the Philippine Air Force 355th Aviation Engineering Wing, a school has been constructed in the Sepung Bulaun Elementary School Grounds.
Like the KBSBP, the PPWSEP is a vital infra project undertaken in cooperation with the PAF 355th Aviation Engineering Wing.
President Arroyo also led the groundbreaking of the P500,000 PPWSEP, which will supply fresh potable water to 635 households or 2,858 residents of Palat, Porac, Pampanga.
Aside from the above mentioned infrastructure projects, the President also visited Mekeni Food Corporation’s Meat Processing Plant in Barangay Balubad, observed an on-going Oyster (Organized Youth Stewards of Esteros and Rivers) waterway clean-up and desilting activity in Barangay Cangatba, and awarded scholarship certificates to OTOS (one town, one scholar) beneficiaries from the 20 Towns of Pampanga at the Palat Elementary School.
At the Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ), President Arroyo was the guest of honor at the rites honoring the outstanding and top performing locators and investors.
The Clark Freeport Recognition 2009, held at the Stotsenberg Hotel here, recognized the valuable economic, social, development contributions, as well as the notable business and people management practices and successes of Clark Freeport locators.
The awardees include: Smart Shirts for Outstanding Employment Performance and Human Resources; Poongsan Microtech (Philippines) Incorporated for Outstanding Investment Performance; and Clark Water Corporation for Outstanding Environmental, Health and Safety Management.
To receive awards for Outstanding Recognition for Overall Performance are: L&T International Group Philippines, Nanox Philippines, Incorporated, and Yokohama Tire Philippines, Incorporated.
Texas Instruments, meanwhile, was honored with an Outstanding New Investor award.
“The awards program aims to recognize distinct enterprises inside the Clark Freeport which have objectively displayed management and leadership excellence in relevant areas or categories consistent and supportive of CDC’s vision and mission for Clark,” CDC President Benigno Ricafort said.
The program, he added, intends to encourage Clark investors to pursue excellence while serving as models of best practices for developing enterprises.
Ricafort said the Outstanding Employment Performance and Human Resource Management award is in recognition of exceptional achievement in the generation of quality employment and human resources/industrial relations.
For the Outstanding Investment Performance, Ricafort said the CDC aims to recognize top Clark investors for 2008, while the Excellence in Environmental, Health and Safety Management award is given to firms in recognition of their consistent achievement in environmental compliance and exceptional initiatives in health and safety management.
The Outstanding Recognition for Overall Performance award is given to the Clark firm that is recognized as the largest contributor to CDC revenues. (OPS)
