Splash Corp. provides livelihood and donations in Valenzuela City

-

THE Covid-19 pandemic has rendered both individual­s and businesses helpless. Apart from fears of getting infected and falling ill, many workers have to struggle to keep food on the table as many of them lost their means of livelihood.

Committed to extending help in the fight against this pandemic, Splash Corp. took a novel approach in helping communitie­s in need. Inspired by the movie “Parasite,” wherein a family was given an opportunit­y to work by assembling cardboard boxes for a pizza business, Splash Corp. enlisted the services of around 40 families living near their Valenzuela plant to put stickers on the bottles of Hygienix Alcohol and Hand Sanitizer.

Apart from providing livelihood, some 18,000 families situated in four barangays near the Splash Plant also received around 180,000 pieces of soap packs from the company. Barangay Captains Lucy Nolasco of Barangay Paso de Blas; Mario San Andres of Barangay Canumay West; Dan Delesmo of Barangay Lingunan; and, Arnold Natividad of Mapulang Lupa personally accepted the donations for their respective barangays.

Splash Executives also paid Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian a courtesy call prior to their recent donation of 1,200 gallons of Hygienix Alcohol, 1,200 bottles of Hygienix Liquid Hand Soap and 67,000 pieces of soaps for use by the city’s hospitals and front liners and for distributi­on to the constituen­ts of Valenzuela

Neeraj Khatri, chairman and chief executive officer of Splash Corporatio­n says, “Splash Corp. is committed to helping in the fight against Covid-19. Since the start of the quarantine period, we have faced challenges but have continued to manufactur­e essential Splash products like alcohol, soaps, and hand sanitizers. We have also looked at how we can help our community and agreed that providing alcohol and soap products to the LGU of

Valenzuela and barangays near our plant is the best way to fight the spread of Covid-19 by promoting handwashin­g and hygiene.”

Vicci Tomas, president and chief operations officer, also adds “All units of the organizati­on are working hand in hand in this uncertain time and are looking at creative ways on ensuring that Splash products are consistent­ly accessible and available to our consumers.”
