In less than a month after a good hearted businessman
pledged he will donate P1 million to families left by the soldiers or policemen
that were killed in Marawi city, it seems the sense of being generous is now
being viral among Filipino businessmen. And
to think Christmas is still months’ away.
Last August 9, Wednesday Philippine Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (PCCI) President George Barcelon in an interview with the media
announced that the Duterte administration will be a recipient of twenty (20)
high-tech scanners that will greatly help the drive against illegal drugs.

PCCI president made such statement during the 2017 Sulong
Pilipinas, a Philippine Development Forum, wherein his excellency President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte was the guest speaker.
The high tech scanners that would be given to the government
would cost close to 1 million dollar per unit, Barcelon said the donor intends
to give 20 units.
At the time where the Bureau of Customs are embroiled in
some controversy regarding the P6.4-billion worth of illegal drugs in mainland
China having slipped through the agency, said scanners would boost the
governments capabilities.
The scanners will arrive here in the country in the next
three to four months, Barcelon said.
When pressed to name the good hearted benefactor, Barcelon
refused to name the donor of the scanners.
