Conglomerate San Miguel Corp. allocated P150 million worth of poultry products from its inventory for poor communities, mostly in areas where it operates.
The latest donation increased the company’s total contribution to help address challenges brought about by the pandemic to P1.147 billion to date.
San Miguel in a statement said it continued to expand its response to the crisis by leveraging its portfolio, capabilities and resources to bring immediate tangible assistance to the most affected communities, businesses and those on the frontline of the fight.
“With the resources that we have, we are in a position to help and provide essential relief, especially to our neighbors, in these difficult times. To use these resources well and put them to good use is the right and responsible thing to do,” San Miguel president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said.
San Miguel’s most recent effort to distribute fresh poultry products to disadvantaged communities mostly in areas surrounding its facilities pushed the company’s total food donations to about P390.7 million consisting of canned goods, fresh meats, biscuits, breads, coffee, milk and flour.
