On March 9, 2023, Global Process Manager Inc. (GPM) participated in the 1st Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill 2023 (NSED) held at Times Plaza. The national earthquake drill was launched by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) as part of their normal safety procedures in order to reduce both public and social impact in the event of an earthquake.

The exercise began on the 17th floor where GPM staff and management were told to duck, cover and hold under the table as per standard protocols. After the alarm went off, the GPM team lined up and began to evacuate. The team vacated the building through the emergency exit and assembled at the corner of General Luna Street next to Taft Avenue.

In the assembly area, the GPM health and safety officers running the event conducted a headcount of the drill participants who were grouped together according to their respective floors. After several minutes of scouting the area, the officers finally allowed re-entry into the building, concluding this quarter's national earthquake drill.
