BDO
Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank, found ways
to contribute to the country’s COVID-19 vaccination campaigns through
partnership projects with local government units. Amid the surge in cases due
to the Delta variant, the foundation supported the vaccination programs of
General Santos City and Iloilo City by providing much needed manpower support.
The
foundation sponsored the hiring of additional nurses, medical technicians and
other front-liners for the immediate inoculation of 1,800 people in GenSan and
Iloilo. The corporate citizenship initiative helped boost the capacity of the
aforementioned cities to accommodate more vaccinees.
This
is the latest initiative of BDO Foundation aimed at supporting projects that
help control the spread of the coronavirus, assist frontliners and provide aid
for Filipinos vulnerable to the effects of the health crisis. Backed by BDO and
BDO Network Bank branches, the foundation has donated hygiene kits to more than
2,000 health workers and COVID-19 patients in Capiz, Iloilo and Negros Oriental.
It has also supported a program that gave financial incentives to nurses in
Cebu.
As the
pandemic continues, BDO Foundation plans to implement more projects in the
areas of vaccination and relief assistance in partnership with the public sector
and the medical community.
