ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. launches new building

ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. (AFI) launches its newly-renovated building on February 1, 2010 in partnership with Globe Asiatique Realty Corporation and ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation.
Globe Asiatique renovated the whole building estimated to be worth P50M.
ABS-CBN Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gabby Lopez, ABS-CBN President and Chief Operating Officer Charo Santos-Concio, Channel 2 Head in Mega Manila Cory Vidanes, AFI Managing Director Gina Lopez, and Globe Asiatique President Delfin Lee, along with other ABS-CBN executives initiate the ribbon-cutting to kick-off the event. 71 Dreams Foundation Managing Director Father Tito Caluag heads the blessing of the entire AFI building.
The transformation of the building coincides with the new projects and challenges that AFI is facing for 2010. “The place where you work is of critical importance,” Gina Lopez said. “That is why I’m deeply grateful to Globe Asiatique for facilitating a much better and ideal working place where we can pursue our dreams and hope for the Filipino people,” she added.
AFI’s flagship project, Kapit Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig is on its way to dredge, construct easements and undergo bioremediation processes in Estero de Paco. Fifteen material recovery facilities (MRFs) are set to be constructed in identified areas to transform the solid wastes into useful new products such as bricks and pavers.
Sagip Kapamilya gathered a total of P259 Million in cash and P202 Million in-kind set to give out to affected families of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
Currently, AFI has six projects under its helm: Bantay Bata 163, E-Media, Bantay Kalikasan, Sagip Kapamilya, Bayanijuan, and its newest project the Kapit Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig. For more details, please visit www.abs-cbnfoundation.com
