Last November 24, UAP Davao Chapter conducted its fifth general membership meeting at Cafe Julieta, Davao City.
The meeting's sponsor, Buildrite Construction Chemicals, conducted a product presentation led by their technical supervisor, Mr. Ryan Carbonel. He showcased their new products, SmartBond Flex and Readycrete. SmartBond Flex is a flexible tile adhesive that solves the problem of tiles popping out due to changes in temperature and structural movements. Readycrete on the other hand is a ready-mix concrete in a bag, which aims to make it easier for builders to have access to high-strength ready-mix concrete regardless of the quantity needed in a project or the site location.
After the product presentation, Chapter Secretary Ar. Angeluz A. Tesoro roll called 80 participants, both face-to-face and through zoom call who took part in the meeting; followed by the financial report led by Chapter Treasurer Ar. Catrina Joy Y. Patron. Chapter President, Gilbert Peter Fortich also thanked the people behind the successful Donation Drive for the victims of bagyong Paeng in Cotabato.
