Petron Corporation through Petron Foundation continued with its efforts to assist medical frontliners in the battle against COVID-19.
With funds raised from Petron Value Cardholders and a corresponding contribution from the company, Petron was able to provide complete sets of personal protective equipment to several COVID-19 referral hospitals.
Recipients of the complete PPE sets were the Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippine General Hospital, Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium, and San Lazaro Hospital.
The Philippines’ largest oil refining company has previously distributed pre-loaded PVCs to doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff as a token of appreciation for their invaluable service and sacrifice.
Apart from this, we also want to make things more bearable for our brave frontliners and the people who are most affected by this pandemic by helping the best way we can,” said Petron President and CEO Ramon S. Ang. Petron has also been helping bring essential food items closer to communities in order to minimize health risks.
Over a million pesos in assistance was also extended to Petron Tulong Aral scholars. Petron service station dealers and LPG and lubes distributors all over the country have also initiated their own CSR activities to help in their respective areas, as well as their own staff, cope with the challenges brought by COVID-19.
