On September 13, 2024, the Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) Crash, Fire & Rescue (CFR) and Environmental Management and Health Service (EMHS) Teams conducted a Fire and Earthquake Drill at the AAG International Center for Aviation Training (AICAT). This collaborative training session is a vital part of the safety program, underscoring the shared commitment to upholding the highest safety standards for all personnel involved.
The said training which addressed essential topics such as basic aerodrome firefighting techniques, the proper use of fire extinguishers, and earthquake preparedness and response drills was participated by 50 individuals, including employees, cadets, and partners. This joint initiative aims to continue being well-equipped to respond to emergencies with efficiency and effectiveness.
The Poro Point Freeport Zone used to house the former Wallace Air Station. The enactment of Republic Act 7227 (Bases Conversion and Development Act) on March 19, 1992 and Proclamation No. 216 on July 27, 1993 effectively transferred the stewardship of the Freeport to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to facilitate its conversion into a productive economic growth center.
