For a community where the nearest fire station is five kilometers away and the nearest Central 911 station is 18 kilometers away, the new Cabantian Public Safety Complex will be a welcome development that promises to help keep Cabantian and its neighboring communities safe and secure.

The company also intends to donate an ambulance for the use of Central 911.

Alsons Dev EVP Rosie Dominguez explains the significance of the Cabantian Public Safety Complex
“As residential communities in the Buhangin District continue to increase in number, it has become evident that a public safety complex in this area is essential to make sure that life’s emergencies are immediately taken care of.” said Alsons Dev EVP Rosie Dominguez. “At Alsons Dev, it is our corporate mission that we become instruments in enhancing the lives of the people in the communities where we operate.”
Sitting on a land area of 2,000 square meters, the Cabantian Public Safety Complex is the first component of the proposed 10-hectare commercial, institutional, and educational town center located just outside of Northtown Alsons Dev’s I16-hectare residential township development.
The Cabantian Public Safety Complex is slated for completion in the 2nd quarter of 2016.
