Imelda Quinones, the head of the Soccsksargen Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center extended a warm welcome to the volunteers from CSCEC. He said that CSCEC had come to Sarangani Bay and given their support by constructing the drug rehabilitation center where they built the high-quality infrastructure for them. They returned to the drug rehabilitation center as volunteers to provide support and help to local detoxification patients. As the world's largest investment and construction group, CSCEC always fulfills its social responsibilities. The joint efforts of volunteers and caring individuals are expected to create a more comfortable environment and a brighter future for those struggling with drug addiction.
