San Miguel Corporation (SMC) seems to
be always in the news these days, and the country is thankful for the
continuing help we are getting from the food giant.
In the efforts to help the government
in fighting the spreading of the novel coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 it
just completed the delivery of 40,000 sets of protective gear to more than 60
hospitals nationwide.
The Ramon Ang led conglomerate said it is
waiting for the arrival of the first 10,000 personal protective equipment (PPE)
overalls made by local garment manufacturers, who were tapped by the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI).

SMC said the manufacturers of the PPE’s were
from the Confederation of Wearable Exporters of the Philippines.
"We are inspired by how companies and
individuals are coming together in new ways to address the challenges of
COVID-19. We thank the DTI and the CONWEP for this. We stay committed to
helping ease the strain on our medical system and protecting our health workers,"
SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang stated
The recently
distributed protective equipment were part of the ₱500-million
donation fund of the company, dedicated for healthcare frontliners who "save lives in the fight against
the deadly virus."
"[Apart
from their protective gear], our medical frontliners are in dire need of
equipment to combat this pandemic. Again, I couldn't be [prouder] of how
everyone in our group is stepping up to the plate. They continue to work day
and night to find ways to help our country overcome this unprecedented
challenge," Ang said.
