On the other hand, P390.7 million was alloted for the occuring distribution of food products such as canned goods, meat, biscuits, coffee, milk, and flour.
The company also marked a P83.3 million and P38.4 million donation respectively for the ongoing deliveries of over 1 million liters of 70% ethyl alcohol and 1.1 million kilos of rice. It has also designated P15.37 million worth of its own Protect Plus Gold disinfectant powder as part of the contribution.
Project Ugnayan, a collaborative effort of top business groups in the country, has also received P100 million from Ramon Ang, the Vice Chairman of SMC, and his family. Meanwhile, to support the government's "Libreng Sakay" program for COVID-19 frontliners, the company donated P5.3 million worth of fuel from Petron and SMC Infrastructure.
Part of the total donation's breakdown also includes P5.1 million that has provided free toll for 5,191 medical frontliners and P5 million pesos used for the emergency quarantine facilities for AFP. The remaining P3.8 million, on the other hand was worth of assistance from Petron.
