Excerpt

San Miguel Corp. (SMC)'s pandemic food relief drive that began in March last year has yielded close to two million pieces of nutribun and pandesal bread throughout Metro Manila and neighboring provinces while its feeding center in Tondo continues to provide food aid to over 200,000 families living in Manila's poorest districts. It also inaugurated the San Miguel Market, one of the key components of its relocation model that provides at-risk and displaced fisherfolk families in Sariaya, Quezon disaster-resilient homes, a safe community complete with amenities and facilities to support their livelihood and secure their future. SMC President Ramon Ang said, "While vaccinating our employees and deploying medical personnel to various public vaccination sites became our focus these past couple of months, we never left our disadvantaged countrymen who are still struggling to cope with the pandemic. Many of our employees continue to devote their time and effort to make sure San Miguel can at least help the poorest of the poor avoid hunger on a daily basis," Ang said.
