“Our collaboration with BFP underscores our commitment to ensuring the safety of our shoppers, tenants, and employees.

“Ginagawa namin itong fire dril para in case na magkaroon talaga ng ganitong insidente sa mall natin the biggest mall in the city ay alam na natin kung ano ang mga dapat gawin sa maayos na pag evacuate sa mga tenants at employees, paano tayo mag reponde at agaran pag report sa BFP,”
