Uniqlo Donates P10 Million To Help COVID-19 Victims, Frontliners
UNIQLO – Popular fashion chain Uniqlo to donate P10 million for coronavirus response and relief in the Philippines.
The respiratory disease known as the 2019 novel coronavirus has spread rapidly around the world. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has ordered to block air, sea, and land travels in Luzon to control the spread of the virus from Wuhan, China.
Poor workers are the most affected by the “enhanced community quarantine.” The cops, soldiers and healthcare workers are among those exempted from the work from home arrangement.
In a previous article, big businesses in the country raised over P1.5 billion to help the needy in Metro Manila during the quarantine period. Project Ugnayan said they will give P1000 gift checks to 1 million households.
On Monday, March 23, Jadpanese retailer Uniqlo made an announcement on their Facebook Paga saying they will donate P10 million for the coronavirus response and relief. The popular fashion chain noted that the money would be going to SM Foundation.
“We are on with the Filipino nation in these challenging times. To support the relief and response efforts for the communities that are most affected by this pandemic and to our brave frontliners who continue to risk their lives for our safety, we plege 10 Million Pesos to SM Foundation for food assistance and for the purchase of personal protective equipment.”
“The Filipino spirit is stronger together and we will get through this together,” it added.
We can all hope that the scientists and health experts would finally develop the effective vaccine that would end the global crisis.
