Description:
Poro Point Management Corporation’s (PPMC) Crash, Fire & Rescue (CFR) and Environmental Management and Health Services (EMHS) Teams spearheaded an emergency response drill for the AAG International Center for Aviation Training (AICAT) on November 14, 2022.
As part of AICAT’s safety program and in preparation for the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) inspection, AICAT has requested PPMC to conduct the said training.
A total of 39 attendees from Aircraft Maintenance Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Trainees participated in the training activities on basic aerodrome firefighting, basic use of fire extinguishers, and earthquake awareness and drill.
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.
