In his Inspirational Message, Midway Colleges President and CEO Mr. Sabino Czar Manglicmot expressed gratitude to The PTC Group of Companies for the opportunity to impart essential knowledge about Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) to the youth and college leadership for their safety and well-being.

Philippine Transmarine Carriers (PTC) TAG’s Hector Brizuela, and Josh McCarver, conducted discussions regarding the planned implementation of the RISE Program for Safe Schools in public schools in the City of Manila. This initiative aims to strengthen the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) capacities of School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers (SDRRMOs).
