Globe redoubles relief efforts for Taal

-

GLOBE stands by its commitment to help communitie­s in need by once again partnering with Rise Against Hunger to provide 100 food boxes for 18,000 people affected by the recent eruption of Taal volcano.

Alongside all of the company’s disaster response initiative­s since the eruption, 100 Ka-Globe together with the company’s senior leaders as well as celebritie­s Yayo Aguila and Lester Giri, shared their time and effort to help in the meal packing activity.

Although the alert status for Taal Volcano was already lowered down to Level 3, many residents, especially those who live in areas within the seven kilometer radius from the main crater, are still prohibited from returning to their homes. Thus, there is a need for continuous assistance to the families who are still in evacuation centers.

So far, Globe has conducted relief operations in 39 evacuation centers in Batangas and Cavite, benefittin­g 4,007 families or 20,035 individual­s. It has also reached out to 546 families or 2,730 individual­s in three barangays in Batangas in cooperatio­n with Sagip Kapamilya, ABS-CBN Foundation’s emergency humanitari­an assistance program.

Globe, likewise, enjoins its customers to make their Globe Rewards points more meaningful by donating them to Rise Against Hunger via the Globe Rewards app until February 15.
