EARLIER this year, Coca-Cola immediately committed P150 million of its marketing resources to provide aid to thousands of Filipinos weathering the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine measures. Coca-Cola employees carried out the company’s relief provision, following the strictest safety protocols in its operations and deliveries. The Coca-Cola Foundation worked with Synergeia Foundation, a long-time partner, to identify beneficiary families and communities and coordinate with LGUs. Through this initiative, 21,000 food packs were provided to families in Navotas, Malabon, Caloocan, Pasig, Quezon City, Muntinlupa City; San Fernando in Pampanga, Obando in Bulacan, Corella in Bohol; and the municipalities of Consolacion, Argao and Dalaguete in Cebu province. Each food pack consisted of five kilos of rice, various ingredients for meals, assorted canned goods, spices and different hygiene and cleaning products.
