A Brown Family welcomes the Christmas Season with the blessing & lighting of the Advent Wreath during the Virtual Employees’ Convocation led by the ABCI Admin & Purchasing Department last November 29, 2021, Monday. The ABCI Family prayed the Novena for the blessing of the wreath followed by the lighting of the first candle.
For the Roman Catholics, during the four Sundays of Advent during mass, we are illuminated with candles as we light Advent wreaths of evergreen, shaped in a perfect circle to symbolize God’s eternity.
The four Sundays preceding Christmas, which is when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, are recognized for four virtues. The candles on the Advent wreath symbolize hope, love, joy and peace. The candles are lit in that order.

A Brown Company Inc, thru the efforts of HR and the COVID19 Response Team and with the full support
of management & cooperation of employees, has reached the workplace herd immunity as of October
14, 2021.
HR People Programs such as RESBAKUNA Raffle, vaccination education drive, health & wellness
initiatives amongst others were implemented in support of this COVID19 Vaccination advocacy.
ABCI HR Team organized and facilitated the conduct of PhilSys registration at the ABCI Workplace on August 24-25, 2021 at Club’s Gym, Xavier Estates, Cagayan de Oro.
A total of 534 Brown Group Employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agency partners, and dependents have successfully completed the Steps 1-2 of the PhilSys Registration process. The final step to PhilSys is the Step 3 Registration, which involves the issuance of the PhilSys Number (PSN) and a Philippine Identification (PhilID) card.
The PSN is a randomly-generated number that will serve as a permanent identification number of a registrant. Considered as sensitive personal information, the PSN must be kept confidential and private. When transacting, registrants must use the public version of the PSN, namely the PhilSys Card Number (PCN), which is also printed in the PhilID card. PSA has partnered with the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) to ensure the efficient and safe delivery of the PhilIDs to the registrants.
One of the objectives of the PhilSys is to provide a valid proof of identification to Filipinos and resident aliens, and this is envisioned to transform how services are delivered and accessed in the Philippines by making public and private transactions seamless, safe, and efficient. PhilSys will provide Filipinos easier access to financial, social protection, health, education, and other government services. As a central identification platform, the system uses a person’s unique biometric information to authenticate identity.
Thank you very much to PSA -10 for approving ABCI Workplace as one of your registration centers.
Shout out of gratitude to the men and women behind the successful 2-day event and to all who willingly & cheerfully took part in this milestone.
A BROWN Co., Inc.’s wholly owned unit Irradiation Solutions, Inc. (ISI) is now registered by the Board of Investments (BoI) as a new operator of essential services in relation to its Tanay Multipurpose Irradiation Facility project, A Brown said in a disclosure to the exchange on Thursday.
ISI is developing what is said to be the first commercial E-Beam (electron beam) irradiation facility in the country to serve the medical and food industries.
“The E-Beam technology is used in more than 60 countries and is considered the most economical alternative among available commercial sterilization methods,” A Brown said.
Now BoI-registered, ISI will be eligible to avail certain incentives under the Corporate Recovery and Tax Enterprises Act and the Omnibus Investments Code of 1987 as long as it will observe by the provisions of both laws.
A Brown told BusinessWorld last month that the Tanay Commercial E-Beam Facility is expected to be completed by 2023. It may accommodate a volume of up to 20,000 tons yearly.
The P600-million facility will be used to sterilize medical masks, dressings, syringes, surgical staplers, and other single-use medical devices. It will also provide commercial irradiation services to agricultural and fishery products to improve their quality.
“This will enable local products, fruits, and seafood to be of export quality and gain wider access to international markets,” the company said.
A Brown said some 10 agricultural and medical companies have already expressed interest in the facility.
On Thursday, A Brown shares at the stock exchange went up by 2.41% or two centavos to close at 85 centavos apiece. — Keren Concepcion G. Valmonte
A BROWN Co., Inc. is looking at developing a master-planned community in Tanay, Rizal province, which will be home to a residential estate, a themed restaurant, a hotel, and a condominium.
The company aims to recreate the concept it had with its mixed-use community in Northern Mindanao.
“Our focus has always been on properties that underscore healthy, environment-friendly and low dense communities with a focus on [the] city, mountainside, agricultural, golf and sea resort, and lifestyle developments,” A Brown President and Chief Executive Officer Robertino E. Pizarro said in a statement on Tuesday.
Its Rizal property is said to have a view of Laguna Lake and the Sierra Madre mountain range.
A Brown said there will also be 15-hectare property in the area of its Rizal project that will cater to economic and socialized housing, featuring commercial spaces.
“We look to continue to deliver excellent value for money developments alongside our core competence of building quality homes and pioneering real estate concepts,” Mr. Pizarro said.
The community will be one of the projects that will be funded by the sale of its additional preferred shares.
A Brown is offering 10 million preferred shares for P100 apiece, with an overallotment option of up to five million preferred shares. The company may raise up to P1.5 billion, which will be used for the development of its projects, land banking activities, and for the funding requirements of its wholly owned subsidiary, Irradiation Solutions, Inc.
Despite the pandemic, A Brown said it logged a record P1.5 billion in property reservation sales in 2020, up from the P1 billion logged in the previous year.
“As we venture outside Mindanao, we will continue to pursue real estate products that are built for the long term — providing security, safety, healthy environments to create happy communities,” said Mr. Pizarro.
Shares of A Brown at the stock market inched up by 1.11% or one centavo on Tuesday, closing at 91 centavos each. — Keren Concepcion G. Valmonte
