The event was capped off with a message from AFPSLAI President & CEO BGen Cheston D Valencerina (Ret). He advised Ms Lero to stay focused and give her best as she prepares for her licensure examination, and to create a future that she is very passionate about.

AFPSLAI activates Business Continuity Plan amidst COVID-19 crisis

On March 8, 2020, upon declaration of the State of Public Health Emergency throughout the country, the BCP Committee convened and activated the Business Continuity Plan. Guided by government policies and pronouncements, several measures were undertaken by the Association to ensure business continuity amidst the COVID pandemic, as follows:

OPERATIONS
With the declaration of Luzon-wide Community Quarantine, Management decided to temporarily cease operations starting March 17 (for NCR-Luzon Branches) and March 18 (for VisMin Branches) in support of the Government’s effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. Due to the restriction on mass gatherings, Management also cancelled all scheduled corporate activities such as information drives, financial literacy seminars and medical missions, among others.

In order to address the financial needs of its members, AFPSLAI decided to resume business operations starting April 13, 2020. In preparation for the reopening of offices, disinfection of office premises was prioritized and safety procedures, such as wearing of face masks, disinfection of footwear, thermal scanning, hand sanitation, and social distancing were put in place. Plastic shields were also installed to protect all frontline employees from the virus given their direct exposure to transacting members.

Management also had a special planning session to discuss its plans and program for the rest of the year considering the implications of quarantine, and the impact of the pandemic on the overall financial and operational performance of the Association.

ASSISTANCE TO MEMBERS
In consideration of the financial difficulty being experienced by the members brought about by the pandemic, AFPSLAI granted a two-month (April and May) loan moratorium for loans paid through salary/pension remittance. Due to the temporary closure of our offices nationwide, over-the-counter loan payments were also extended, without penalties.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY
In compliance with DOH and DOLE guidelines, AFPSLAI had put in place procedures on the prevention and control of COVID-19.

AFPSLAI implemented alternative work arrangements such as work-from-home, reduction of work hours, rotation of workers and flexi-time, to minimize contact incidences. Medical supplies (vitamins, face masks, alcohol) and free shuttle service were also provided for the protection and safety of employees.

The health of all employees is monitored daily through the AFPSLAI COVID Monitoring System. Daily reporting is made by the Compliance Officer to the BSP on the results of the daily survey. Mass testing using rapid antibody tests is currently being done to ensure that all employees, including project-based personnel, are protected from COVID-19 spread and infection.

CSR INITIATIVES
Several donations were made to help partner-institutions perform their functions during the crisis. These include the donation of one ambulance to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC); donation of grocery items to uniformed personnel assigned in checkpoints; donation of medical supplies such as N-95 masks, personal protective equipment, goggles and gloves, to healthcare workers in AFP Medical Center, PNP General Hospital and VMMC.

As a fund-raising initiative, employees also raised over Php 500K, which will be used to purchase COVID-related items for donation to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
