LUCENA CITY, Quezon - As the Camp Nakar Station Hospital here rises to new heights with essential tools and technologies, a powerful partnership has been forged. Therma Luzon Inc. (TLI) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines Southern Luzon Command (AFP SOLCOM) inaugurated "The Door into a World-Class Health Service" project today, April 30, 2025, at Camp Guillermo Nakar.

This initiative, the third in their collaborative history underscores their sustained commitment to significantly improve healthcare quality and accessibility for the region's dedicated service members. Specifically, this endeavor directly addresses the healthcare needs of military personnel serving in Southern Luzon, ensuring they have access to improved medical resources. 

Modern and vital medical equipment, including advanced diagnostic tools and treatment facilities, alongside cutting-edge technology for patient management and care, will be delivered to the Camp Nakar Station Hospital. A substantial upgrade, it is designed to elevate the standard of medical care provided to the brave men and women stationed there, enhancing their well-being and ensuring prompt and effective treatment.

During the well-attended turnover ceremony, representatives from both organizations emphasized their unwavering shared dedication to the health, well-being, and overall welfare of these individuals who selflessly serve and protect the Filipino people. Enhanced facilities aim to provide a world-class level of care, ensuring that those who safeguard the nation are themselves safeguarded with excellence.






According to TLI's Rupert Vito, RSM Operations Specialist, the project is more than just improved facilities and equipment. He emphasized it embodies a tangible "door of hope," offering reassurance and better health prospects for servicemen and women. Furthermore, it represents a "door into healing," providing necessary recovery resources. Vito stated the initiative fosters "an enduring legacy of compassion, resilience, and excellence" in healthcare services for those dedicated to national security.

The said project underscores their steadfast support for the individuals tirelessly serving and defending the nation, directly contributing to their overall well-being and acknowledging the profound importance of their health and dignity. This collaboration reflects a deep recognition of the vital role the AFP plays in national security and the significant sacrifices made by its personnel in the line of duty.





TLI, a thermal power plant in Quezon managed by TeaM Energy Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corporation, spearheaded this project. With TLI's embarkation on full operational management of the Pagbilao Power Plant this year, the company is further deepening its commitment to its valued partners in service. Inspired by their existing strong relationship, TLI is more determined than ever to strengthen this vital collaboration with AFP SOLCOM. "The Door into a World-Class Health Service" project stands as a powerful testament to this ongoing dedication to the health and well-being of the AFP community.

Distinguished attendees at the turnover ceremony included key figures from AFP SOLCOM and AFP Medical Center: the esteemed Col. Nerio Zabala MC (GSC), and Col. Florencio Ritchie Capulong III MAC (GSC), who represented the respected BGen. Jonna D. Dalaguit MC, showcasing the high-level support within the military for this initiative. Also present was the honorable BGen. Aldwine Almase PA, acting on behalf of the esteemed LtGen. Facundo Palafox IV.

Representing Therma Luzon Inc. with equal dedication were Rupert Vito, RSM Operations Specialist, Pablo Joaquin Tanglao, and Alyssa Kaye Pereira, all attending on behalf of Lou Jason Deligencia. They underscored the profound significance of this collaborative endeavor and highlighted their continued efforts to foster a strong partnership between the two organizations.
