BDO Foundation, the philanthropic arm of BDO Unibank, has stepped up to provide relief to over 12,000 families impacted by Typhoon Carina. The foundation, in collaboration with partners like Caritas Manila, Tanging Yaman Foundation, and local government units, distributed 12,350 relief packs across Luzon, reaching communities affected by flooding in Bulacan (Malolos, Calumpit, Bocaue, Hagonoy, Meycauayan, and Obando), Pampanga (Macabebe and Masantol), Ilocos Sur (Vigan), Rizal, and Metro Manila.
BDO Foundation donated food packs containing rice, canned goods, and drinking water. “BDO Foundation hopes that through this simple act of kindness, we are able to show our solidarity to our kababayans and to help in giving them hope as they bounce back from this calamity,” shared BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito.
Apart from the relief packs, BDO Foundation, through BDO Network Bank, also delivered cleaning materials to 150 schools across NCR, region 3, and region 4A to help flooded school communities prepare their facilities for the opening of classes.
