Concepcion.<\/p>\n<p>IPI\u2019s CSR team have partnered with MVA with the successful staging of several events that promote the islands as a destination, among them MVA\u2019s 40th Anniversary Sunset Fun Run in January and the Ironman 70.3 Saipan in March. There are other MVA signature events that will be held throughout the year that Imperial Pacific\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility team is a partner.<\/p>\n<p>Imperial Pacific\u2019s CSR team had already taken the lead in the upkeep and maintenance of roadside curbs within the stretch of Beach Road in Garapan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of water blasting the sidewalks and adding a fresh coat of paint to curbs along Beach Road in Garapan was something that I discussed with my team early on. We saw the need for it because of all the activity happening there,\u201d Concepcion explained. <\/p>\n<p> \u201c[With] newer buildings on Beach Road, which are making the area more attractive, the sidewalks and curbs are starting to look rundown and in need of some beautification. A fresh coat of paint goes a long way in improving the aesthetic appeal of an area,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cSince the MVA does not have the manpower to carry out this project, we immediately reached out to [Imperial Pacific through Dela Cruz] for her assistance and we are grateful for the support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Dela Cruz said that Imperial Pacific is always ready to step up and support the government\u2019s work. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cWhen [Concepcion] sought our help, we jumped on board immediately because we know that the need is there,\u201d Dela Cruz said. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imperial Pacific International has partnered with the Marianas Visitors Authority on the Garapan revitalization project&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":254059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[8034,6990,9661,212],"class_list":["post-254054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biba-marianas","tag-csr","tag-geri-dela-cruz","tag-imperial-pacific-international","tag-mva"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
