Description:
The Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH) Region 1 and the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC), spearheaded a bloodletting program last May 10, 2024, at the San Fernando Airport.
A total of eighty (80) volunteers participated in the blood drive activity. These included volunteers from PPMC, Poro Point Freeport Zone (PPFZ) locators like Leading Edge International Aviation Academy Inc. (LEIAAI), AAG International Center for Aviation Training Corp. (AICAT), the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), and the Philippine Air Force (PAF).
The PPMC, in line with its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), regularly organizes bloodletting and donation drives. The event underscores PPMC’s commitment to supporting the community’s health needs.
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.
