The San Miguel Corporation (SMC) have started to deliver millions of worth of food donations to Bicol region and other areas severely affected by tropical storm “Kristine”.
SMC chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) Ramon S. Ang said he already directed SMC business units to expedite the delivery of essential food items to the hardest-hit areas, including communities in the Bicol Region.
Thousands of people were affected and were forced to flee their homes due to widespread flooding in Bicol region.
Aside from Bicol, Ang said food donations are already on their way to the provinces of
Quezon, Laguna, Batangas, Isabela, La Union, Pangasinan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino, Ifugao, Eastern Samar, and Northern Samar.
“Our priority is to get aid to those in critical need as quickly as possible,” said Ang.
“Our San Miguel Foundation is coordinating closely with local officials and our distributors to ensure these essential food items reach those communities fastest,” he added.
