With just a tap, LRT passengers can donate to Taal Volcano survivors
LRT-1, in partnership with De La Salle Philippines and AF Payments Inc., launched a donation drive for Taal Volcano eruption survivors.
Commuters can now donate P5 by tapping their Beep cards at collection points manned by volunteers, with initial efforts focused at the Taft Avenue station.
The initiative, launched on January 20, aims to simplify the donation process for LRT passengers.
As of Wednesday evening, January 22, the drive had collected P15,000 from over 2,000 donors.
Funds collected go directly to the account of De La Salle Philippines, which will distribute them to affected residents in Batangas and Cavite.
