Description:
Preparedness saves lives.
Poro Point Management Corporation, in collaboration with the Philippine Red Cross conducted a Standard First Aid and Basic Life Support–Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS-CPR) with Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Course to PPMC Frontliners on July 27-30, 2026.
The four (4) day workshop provided participants with essential emergency response knowledge and hands-on skills in administering first aid, performing CPR, and operating an AED during critical situations. The course also enabled PPMC employees to enhance their confidence and readiness thru practical exercises and realistic simulations.
Through these initiatives, PPMC reaffirms its commitment in safeguarding the Poro Point Freeport Zone’s (PPFZ) stakeholders, employees, and the surrounding communities by continuously investing in the safety, preparedness, and emergency response capabilities of its workforce.

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.
