Metrobank's Generous Donation: A Beacon of Hope for Batangas Communities

A Commitment to Community Metrobank has pledged a generous amount of P10 million to support relief efforts across various regions impacted by the storm. This commitment came during the presentation of the 2024 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos at Malacañang, where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasized the role of private organizations in national recovery efforts. The donation of shelter repair kits is just one of the ways Metrobank is fulfilling its promise to assist those in need. Impact on Families The donation will directly benefit 559 families in Talisay and Laurel, Batangas, providing them with essential materials to repair their homes. These communities have faced immense challenges in the aftermath of the storm, and the timely provision of housing materials will play a pivotal role in their recovery. As President Marcos stated during the turnover at the Talisay Municipal Hall, such generous acts are vital in uplifting the spirits of those affected by natural disasters. Water for the Needy In addition to housing materials, MBFI has also contributed 2,000 five-gallon units of potable water to municipalities including Agoncillo, Lemery, and San Nicolas. This initiative, carried out in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and Manila Water Foundation, addresses another critical need in the aftermath of the storm. Clean drinking water is essential for health and well-being, and this donation ensures that families have access to safe water as they begin the rebuilding process.
