Asian Transmission Corporation (ATC) participated in a series of Business Continuity Management (BCM) training sessions under the “Area-Wide Business Continuity Management for Key Industries and Lifeline Utilities” project. The project was organized through a strategic partnership kicking off with the signing of a memorandum of agreement between these three organizations:
1. Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), represented by its President, Mr. Rene Meily.
2. Provincial Government of Laguna (PGL), represented by Atty. Dulce Rebanal and Mr. Aldwin Cejo on behalf of Governor Ramil Hernandez.
3. Laguna Chamber of Commerce Incorporation (LCCI), represented by its President, Atty. Rose Lynn Z. Coloma, who also serves as the Vice President of ATC.
The partnership is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) an agency that supports international development and disaster recovery initiatives.
The several training sessions under the project were actively participated in by ATC, enabling its employees to acquire vital BCM knowledge and skills. The training sessions were attended by the following ATCians:
1. March 19 – 22, 2024: Attended by Mr. Renz Danniel V. Nemis.
2. April 22 – 24, 2024: Attended by Mr. Roland Pablo.
3. September 10 – 12, 2024: Attended by Messrs. Jose Romen H. Gualberto, Joseph I. Bandong, Wilber F. Judan, and Giovanni B. Buenaventura.
4. September 17 – 19, 2024: Attended by Messrs. Anthony Dennis P. Legan, Eugene Bern G. Acebuque, Meinrad D. Cruz, Eric Joseph N. Abriam, and Ms. Archie V. Cartago.
Each batch provided a unique opportunity for participants to learn and apply critical business continuity concepts relevant to their roles within the organization. These training sessions equipped ATC employees with essential BCM skills, prompting the company to review and update its Business Continuity Policy. This reflects ATC’s ongoing commitment to operational resilience and disaster preparedness, ensuring the company’s ability to navigate potential disruptions while continuing to contribute to Laguna’s economic stability.
