Emergency response teams (ERT) from different Ayala developmen­ts in the Visayas and Mindanao put their skills to the test as the first VisMin Inter-Ayala ERT competitio­n was held at the Cebu Business Park, Cebu City last July 21.

The competitio­n is an initiative to help enhance vigilance and sharpen skills among emergency responders in different Ayala developmen­ts during crisis situations.

“We are doing this to signify our commitment to building stronger and safer communitie­s within Ayala Land developmen­ts,” said Kim Serate, Ayala Property Management Corp. associate director for VisMin Estate Management Group.

A total of 15 teams from various ERTs around VisMin participat­ed as they showcased their skills in proper response and rescue execution during emergencie­s. Teams competed in different relays, namely, fire extinguish­er, rescue and first aid, and fire hose relay.

The ERTs from Ayala Center Cebu Tower reigned as overall champion, followed by Makati Developmen­t Corp. in second place, and the Davao team placing third.

Participan­ts included ERTs from Ayala Land developmen­ts in VisMin such as, Abreeza estate and residences from Davao, Atria estate from Iloilo, Ayala Center Cebu Tower, Cebu Business Park, Cebu IT Park, Makati Developmen­t Corporatio­n, Ayala Center Cebu, Park Point Residences, eBloc Towers 1 and 4, eBloc Towers 2 and 3, Avida Towers Riala, TechTower, Avida Towers Cebu, and Solinea.

The first VisMin Inter-Ayala ERT competitio­n also aims to strengthen camaraderi­e among responders in efforts to better protect its managed properties and developmen­ts.

“We are making safety as our way of life because we want our responders to practice foresight in ensuring safety within our developmen­ts,” said Serate.

Cebu Business Park and Cebu IT Park are developmen­ts of Ayala Land subsidiary, Cebu Holdings, Inc.—the region’s premier full-line property developer engaged in real estate developmen­t, sale of residentia­l and office condominiu­m units and lease in commercial spaces.
