SMC donates P30M food aid to typhoon-hit provinces

San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has donated P30 million worth of food aid to provinces severely affected by Typhoon Odette.

The company is utilizing its network in Visayas and Mindanao to deliver essential food supplies to affected areas.

SMC president and CEO Ramon S. Ang stated that the company is committed to providing assistance and will continue to assess the situation to offer more help.

Food donations have been sent to numerous provinces, including Antique, Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, and Palawan, among others.

SMC has mobilized additional resources, including 10 truckloads of assorted food products worth nearly P20 million, to reach the hardest-hit areas.

The company is coordinating with local government units (LGUs) to ensure efficient distribution of aid to affected families.

In Mandaue, Cebu, the San Miguel Brewery facility is providing free non-potable water for washing and other purposes to the public.

Fuel subsidiary Petron has dispatched fuel stocks to areas with low supplies, specifically in Bohol, and is donating food products to communities in Mandaue and Mactan, Cebu.
