SMC hindi hihinto sa pagtulong
MANILA, Philippines — Ipagpapatuloy ng San Miguel Corporation (SMC) ang kanilang pagtulong sa mga apektado ng coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatupad ng isang plano kasama ang mga non-profit group.
Magbibigay ang SMC ng libreng nutribuns sa mga mahihirap na pamayanan via feeding kiosks sa mga Petron service stations.
Ayon kay SMC President at Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang, nagsimula ang nasabing program, noong Martes na may inisyal na apat na Petron stations bilang staging areas para sa food relief effort.
Niluluto ang mga nutribuns sa mga Petron stations katuwang ang mga NGOs at local government units (LGUs).
“About a month ago, we announced a new initiative to make nutribuns available to the poor, to help keep them from hunger as our country continues to deal with the health crisis,” wika ni Ang. “I’m happy to report that the first four Petron nutribun baking stations are now operational.”
“Despite our economy already partially open, many less-fortunate Filipinos continue to have limited access to food, resources, and livelihood. As much as possible, we don’t want anyone to go hungry.
This is one of the ways we felt we could help tide some of them over, by providing nutrient-packed and energy-rich nutribuns, made with care and malasakit by our people,” dagdag pa nito.
Ang pilot sites na nasa Caloocan, Malolos, Tondo at Payatas ay makakagawa ng halos 8,000 nutribuns para sa distribusyon bawat linggo.
Binuhay ng SMC ang paggawa ng nutribun, orihinal na ginawa noong 1970s para labanan ang kagutuman at malnutrition sa mga schoolchildren, noong Marso nang ipatupad ang Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
“For as long as there’s a pandemic and, we will not stop looking for ways that San Miguel can help out,” pahayag ni Ang.
