CLARK FREEPORT--US-based United Parcel Service (UPS) donated last November 6, US$50,000 to the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) as part of their assistance for the victims of typhoons that recently battered Northern and Central Luzon areas.
CIAC President and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano and UPS Asia Pacific Region Senior Vice President KM Liu led the turn over of the $50,000 donation to the PNRC headed by chairman Emeritus former Justice Leonor Ines-Luciano and Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang held at the CIAC Boardroom in a simple turn over ceremonies.
“UPS has chosen the PNRC through the American Red Cross as the recipient of the $50,000 donation intended to help the victims of Typhoons in Northern and Central Luzon.”
“We are happy that a Clark-based company like the UPS is extending their assistance to those affected by the typhoons,” Luciano said.
Luciano said UPS was the one who pioneered the development of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) that started their cargo operations in 2002, adding that UPS is a partner of CIAC for the development of DMIA.
