In celebration of the Christmas spirit, Palmer-Asia Inc. gave tribute to our motherland by celebrating a
“Barrio Fiesta” themed party. Employees from different branches nationwide reunited wearing their fancy native outfits. It was held in Palmer-Asia Laguna, the newest company property which will soon rise. The 2.5-hectare lot was filled with smiles and laughter throughout the night. The night started with exciting raffles and entertaining games. The participation and engagement was very evident towards the hundreds of participants. The most awaited SOPA was discussed by our Mr. CEO, Sir Angel P. Palmiery. The report included the 2023 company achievements and our roadmap towards the future. For the main event, beauty and talent met its way as Palmer employees set the stage on fire! The Mr. and Ms. Barrio Fiesta candidates mesmerized the whole crowd showcasing their individual assets. Employees from different divisions unleashed their talents as they serenaded the audience with their soothing voices. While everyone was enjoying, the Christmas Lantern competition decorated the whole stage with all divisions being creative on their own. The evening was capped off with recognizing our very own 2023 Top Employees and Loyalty awardees. Palmer-Asia Inc. expressed their gratitude to their dedication and commitment to the whole organization. Indeed, “One Team, One Palmer” spirit was felt all over the place. PALMER-ASIA INC. held a company wide earthquake drill and fire drill last Thursday, November 16, 2023. The drill was conducted by experts from the Bureau of Fire Protection.
It was a good practical and hands on experience for all the employees of Palmer on what steps to do during an earthquake. There were designated teams and leaders. There was a designated place to converge during an earthquake. A rescue team was formed and did a make believe rescue to simulate the first aid actions when there are employees who are injured. Several of the employees were also able to extinguish fires using Palmer Fire Extinguishers. It was a wonderful learning experience for everybody. Great news, Palmer Asia inc. has passed the 2nd Surveillance Audit for ISO 9001:2015 by TUV Rheinland last July 29, 2022. This means that the company continues to fulfill its main mission to deliver products and services with excellent performance in Quality, Punctuality & Value. Also to further highlight PALMER’s commitment to help Save Lives, Protect Properties & Preserve the Environment the company applied and passed all the requirements to be certified to ISO 45001:2018 last July 22, 2022. PALMER is now certified to ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 by TUV Rheinland! Palmer Asia Inc. with the assistance of EN Plus Limited Korea donated a Rescue Truck with a wide array of tools and equipment for different emergencies to the people of Sta. Cruz, Marinduque. The project is a brain child of Kharen P. Grimaldo, Manager of the Fire Rescue and Emergency Division of Palmer-Asia Inc. Ms. Grimaldo saw how her Kababayans suffered last year because of an unprecedented heavy rains that caused floodings in Sta. Cruz, Marinduque. She saw the lack of equipment of the local government as a main cause of the delays in the rescue efforts to save many Kababayans affected by the floodings. Ms. Kharen asked some friends in Korea if they have a rescue truck that they can donate. Fortunately, EN PLUS Limited Korea was able to source a rescue truck that they were able to send to the Philippines. Palmer-Asia Inc. provided all the rescue and emergency tools and equipment that are needed for typhoons, floods, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. The ceremonial turnover was held last October 21, 2021 at the Palmer Manufacturing Building located in Paranaque, Metro Manila. Honorable Mayor Antonio Uy Jr., Mayor of Sta. Cruz, Marinduque accompanied by his wife accepted the donation on behalf of the people of Sta. Cruz, Marinduque.

Flood waters rose to as high as a two storey house which led many families to seek refuge in their rooftops. Unfortunately, Mr. Bermejo and his family was one of those affected by the typhoon. Upon learning of his situation, the of Palmer-Asia Inc. immediately took the initiative to help. A donation drive was organized, enabling all employees to help. By this drive, we were able to collect in-kind and monetary donations, aside from the financial assistance given by the management.
