Mayor Vico Sotto thanks celebrities for P1M donation to Pasig
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto expressed gratitude to actresses Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis for their P1-million donation to the city's vaccination program, which was given through Shop and Share.
Sotto stated that the P1-million donation will be added to the city's vaccination fund.
He noted that the funds will be set aside as there are currently no new manufacturers available for direct ordering of vaccines.
This donation from Locsin and Curtis follows their previous initiative where they raised P6 million through celebrity auctions, which was distributed to the Philippine Red Cross and five other local government units.
The city government of Pasig has ordered 400,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
