Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company started as a means to find mineral deposits for abrasives. Now, 3M has become the leader in abrasives, adhesives, and hardware products worldwide, and as a way of thanking the people, especially the Filipinos, in patronizing its products, 3M once again opened its doors to the public through its 3M Innovation Tour at its Makati office along South Luzon Expressway.

Rika Kamibayashi first welcomed us and gave us a briefing on what to be expected in the tour.

Then we set sail to a trip to the entire Customer Technical Center. First up was the Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Room where we found out that what we usually call "scotch tape" should be precisely called cellophane tape. Here are some more of the industrial adhesive products of 3M.

I admire private companies who incorporate social responsibility in their business. It always gives me pleasure to hear about companies who would exert the extra effort to provide donations or relief good for our brothers and sisters who were affected by man-made or natural disasters.

I hope all private companies will follow the example of those companies who allot a fortune of their budget to provide for the needs of our fellowmen stricken by unfortunate circumstances.

A great example is when the Epson group of companies donated PhP1 million to the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) to help victims of the destruction brought by the southwest monsoon (enhanced by Typhoon Maring/Trami) last August.
