MARCH 2012 www.lopezlink.ph Read Story on page 10. http://www.facebook.com/lopezlinkonline www.twitter.com/lopezlinkph to benefit CDO and Iligan scholars. For INAEC, the sky’s the limit “LOOK, up in the sky! It’s a bird…It’s a plane…It’s INAEC!” That doesn’t quite have the ring of the original line from the“Superman” TV series, but gives you an idea what INAEC is. If you’ve ever watched an ABS-CBN newscast, you’ve probably seen INAEC. If you’ve come across stunning photos of a volcano’s crater, that’s INAEC. Read about someone in critical condition who was airlifted to a hospital in x minutes flat? That was also likely thanks to INAEC.
