There are lots of things that the Property
Company of Friends, Inc. are involved in. I just found out off of http://twitter.com/profriendsweb the activities that they support transcends the
regular real estate development chores that they do on a day-to-day basis.
Profriends is a real estate development company that has a corporate social
responsibility not that they were cajoled or coerced to do it but it was out of
their passion and commitment to change as many lives as they can. They took to
the front lines in making things happen and improve the lives of people in
their communities through various humanitarian initiatives with positive
socio-economic impact all of which are consistent with their corporate ethos of
“creating communities, transforming lives”. From fun runs to livelihood
projects and even volunteering for the habitat for humanity house building
drive to help calamity stricken families they would do it all for the sake of
community and adding to the fullness of human life. The following melding of
letters is going to be intended for enumerating some of the activities that the
company organized and a quick description of what they exactly did during those
events so you will have a good inkling of the magnitude of the things that
Profriends are doing. The past and recent activities are all going to be laid
out randomly and not necessarily in chronological order:
Takbo para sa Imuseῆo 2012 – Profriends
participated in this fun run organized by the local government of Imus. The
event beneficiary is the CARABAOS Club Inc. of Imus Cavite which happens to be
the oldest socio-civic club in the town.
Calamity and emergency preparedness conference
– in collaboration with The Philippine National Red Cross Cavite division and
the Imus Cavite Fire Department, Profriends organized a talk that aims to
educate community members about the importance of always being up on their toes
in case of life-threatening emergencies life earthquake and fire. The speakers
provided lectures about the nature of earthquakes, how they start and how to
prepare for them. They also conducted demonstrations showing how to provide basic
first aid to people in case they were injured in those emergencies. Also, the
importance of having fire extinguishers handy around the house was highlighted
as an effective method to take out small fires and keep them at bay before they
progress to bigger conflagrations.
One Planet, One Home, A waste management
symposium – Profriends headlined a waste management lecture to reinforce the
basic concepts surrounding the topic of waste management in a subdivision
set-up. The lecture touched on recycling of reusable trash like bottles, paper,
scrap metal and others. The residents were also given tips on how to properly
carry out waste segregation and to religiously stick to it. Overall, the goal
is for people to be encouraged to start going green during times when global
warming, the noxious effects of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere and all that
environmental stuff I widely talked about.
These are some of the activities that
Profriends is involved in to push the communities they developed to higher
levels of consciousness and positively impact the lives of those people. There
will be more and it’s guaranteed that Profriends is going to be on top of them.
