Concepcion Leads Project ARK

Massive rapid testing initiative supported by conglomerates, business groups

Conglomerates and major business organizations, under the leadership of Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion, have expressed their full support to Project ARK (Antibody Rapid test Kits), a private sector-led initiative that is anchored on the combined efforts of the government and businesses to make massive testing possible at the community level.

Project ARK will launch a data-driven initiative and testing protocol that will help identify persons with antibodies against the virus and possible convalescent plasma donors.

Concepcion said the name of the initiative is taken from the Holy Bible, wherein the ark has always served as a symbol of security and protection in difficult times. Inspired by this, Concepcion hopes that the country’s leaders will unite and offer the same sense of security to the public. This as they combat the spread of the disease, save lives, and steer the country through a tumultuous economic recession.
