PBSP gives 5-day food for 600 families in Calumpit
The corporate-led Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) recently handed over food for the 600 families of Barangay Gugo in Calumpit, Bulacan. After more than a week since typhoons Pedring and Quiel hit Central Luzon, many parts of Bulacan are still underwater. The food relief package consists of 10 kilos of rice, assorted canned goods, instant noodles, cooking oil, soap, and 5 liters of drinking water. This pack follows the SPHERE standard for a 5-day food relief assistance. With the support of Motolite and Airlift Asia, Inc., PBSP was able to reach the marooned communities in need of support. Most of the PBSP member companies donated cash utilized for the purchase of the relief goods.
