DAVAO CITY- The
National Grid Corporation is donating some P1 billion to the national
government for its campaign to combat Corona Virus-2019 outbreak in the
Philippines.
In a press
statement, Michael Ligalig, NGCP regional communications officer for Southern
Mindanao, said NGCP officials had responded to the calls of President Rodrigo Duterte
for the private sector to help in the government’s campaign against COVID-19
pandemic.
He said NGCP
officials had made initial coordination with the Office of the President
wherein the company had committed to donate medical equipment such as video laryngoscopes,
ventilators and total face masks worth P1 billion.
The NGCP had
earlier donated to the government personal protective equipment (PPE), face
masks, meals, and other supplies for the frontline workers and the Meals on
Wheels program which distributes hot meals to indigent members of the
community.
Ligalig said
NGCP’s technical partner, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), had also
donated some 500,000 face masks through the Philippine Red Cross.
“Our
stakeholders, particularly the public, can be assured that NGCP will continue
to look for opportunities to support the government in battling this pandemic.
We recognize that the only way to defeat this global health threat is through
our collective efforts,” the NGCP said in a statement.
