Words from Day One participant Aldrin Causapin from TMO, Oil Group: “Mahirap, challenging kasi time-bound, and physically draining. But in the end, rewarding”. “Nakakakaba, Win or lose. Expect the unexpected talaga” from Day Two participant, Areanne Hernandez from TMO, Oil Group.

In the end, nothing beats a company that is well equipped and always ready. Believing that Safety is a Culture, will lead to A Better Future.
