Jun Galvez, Bonifacio Estate Services Corporation General Manager has stated that BGC citizens have been informed since September 21 and has asked for their participation. “Our overall goal is to remind them to remain calm, duck, cover, hold, and remember safe rally points so that when real disaster strikes, their instinct will kick in and they will know exactly how to act,” he said.
