As Filipino families continue to struggle with the loss of jobs across different industries, ABS-CBN Foundation now moves to the second phase of the Pantawid ng Pag-ibig campaign with the aim of reaching a million families by the end of August 2020.
With the support of its sponsors and partners, the said campaign of ABS-CBN and AFI has raised over P400 million in cash donations and pledges as of May 31.
Also part of the campaign was the distribution of hot meals to families in need and frontliners in hospitals and partner cities, as well as distribution of Personal Protective Equipment and hygiene kits to over 80 hospitals and frontliner organizations in NCR and various provinces.
Of ABS-CBN and its partners, working hand in hand with us, we were able to scale up and help thousands of families.
Were also fighting against hunger and unemployment, Filipinos not being able to put food on their families tables, Afan said.
According to a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations in early May, around 4.2 million Filipino families experienced hunger at least once in the past three months due to lack of food.
If we can invite other equally able friends or family members to do the same, we can save a lot of people from hunger, Paul Mercado, head of AFI marketing department said.
