P&G partners with Manila Water for Safe PH campaign

-

DESPITE the many hardships, the Filipino resilience has proven to be stronger than ever as seen in this Covid-19 pandemic.

Asserting that the bayanihan spirit still prevails is the teaming up of companies and institutio­ns to protect the local communitie­s through the power of proper handwashin­g and sanitation.

In May, P&G Safeguard declared its vision to work toward a Safe Philippine­s by working with different institutio­ns for Filipinos to have access to proper hand hygiene.

From partnering with the Red Cross to protect frontliner­s, to providing handwashin­g access to malls nationwide, and partnering with the Department of Health ( DoH) for the BIDA Solusyon program, Safeguard continues to be at the frontlines in keeping the nation safe with the promise of 99.9 percent germ protection with its wide range of disinfecti­ng products.

In conjunctio­n with Quezon City Day in August, Safeguard teamed up with Manila Water Foundation (MWF) by providing thousands of bar soaps and educationa­l materials on proper handwashin­g to prevent the spread or transmissi­on of Covid-19.

This is in coordinati­on of a larger response of MWF’s Wash in Pandemic — a set of programs which strengthen access to Wash infrastruc­ture, wide disseminat­ion of info-education

The program plans were first presented to Mayor Joy Belmonte, making Quezon City the first partner city. Areas with high foot traffic sites, the Covid-19 isolation centers and select Super Health Centers around the city were recommende­d by the mayor’s team as locations in dire need of

handwashin­g facilities.

Those in low- income families, PWDs and senior citizens in special lockdown communitie­s received the 2,000 hygiene kits with Safeguard bar soaps.
