CLARK FREEPORT -- The Clark Investors and Locators Association (Cila) has gained six more additional members, further enriching its growing number of member locators and businessmen that are one in hopes of promoting a more progressive business environment inside Clark Freeport.

The new members formally joined Cila during the recently held regular general membership meeting at Hotel Vida inside Clark Freeport. The new members include Passcorp, Select Manpower Resources, Ardi Health Services, Ardi Health Corporation, Ron Nethercutt, and Asian Aeronautics Services.

Cila President Jeannie Del Rosario-Ng also reported the “strong accomplishments worth emulating by future presidents.”

Ng said Cila and Holy Angel University–Graduate School of Business (HAU-GSB) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the conduct of joint seminars and training programs for Clark locators and their employees.

Both HAU and Cila will act as co-providers for these seminars that aim to professionalize Clark employees and give them a deeper understanding of the complexities of the business environment and its effect on various industries.

Last January, Cila also had a medical mission at Macapagal village in Mabalacat with the help locator members, Stotsenberg Medical Center through director Justine Flores, and the students from Angeles University Foundation.

“We did a repeat of the program last February at Marcos village, also with Stotsenberg Medical Center and the help of Yokohama Phils. Aside from medical check-ups and free medicine, we were able to feed more than 200 children and adults and had gift giving (clothes, school supplies and toys),” Ng said.

Cila partnered with Novartis, Pascual Laboratories, Unilab Incorporated, Inova, Multicare, Intermed Pharma, Abbot Philippines, Moroshita, and Parkson Duty Free for the said medical missions to treat 218 patients from the barangays.

“As part of our corporate social responsibility, Cila urges all locators of Clark Freeport not only to be concerned with business and the bottom line. We should be making our enterprises grow while caring for the immediate community and promoting a deeper sense of concern and action for the needy around us,” Ng said.

Cila said this fiscal year, more projects on their corporate social responsibility advocacies would be focused on communities within and around the Freeport. (Ian Ocampo Flora)
