P&G Sends Support to Albay Communities

P&G Philippines extended its support to the communities affected by the heightened unrest of Mayon Volcano in Albay. As of date, Alert Level 3 is still in effect in Albay because of Mayon Volcano's increased activity towards a hazardous eruption. Communities near the volcano have been relocated to evacuation centers in Guinobatan, Ligao, Daraga, Sto. Domingo, Camalig, Lagaspi City, Malilipot, and Tobaco, Albay.

P&G, in collaboration with the Manila Water Foundation and the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System, donated bar soaps, laundry powders, and hair care products for over 5,700 displaced families. The donation supports the need for basic sanitation measures in evacuation centers, as well as provide evacuees with the comforts of home and a sense of normalcy amidst their situation.

"Within days of our request, P&G and Manila Water Foundation were ready with a support package for Albay. WASH products and facilities are essential to maintaining human dignity in evacuation centers, and human dignity is central to our culture in Albay," said Joey Sarte, Albay Representative. "So, we are grateful for partners like P&G and their unhesitating response to our call for help."

"Water, sanitation, and hygiene were the issues and enduring problems that we need to plug sa mga evacuation centers here in Albay. Because of P&G, we were able to have it," saud Edcel Lagman, Governor of Albay. "Maraming salamat po sa P&G sa tulong ninyo sa pagbibigay ng hygiene products sa Albay lalo na sa mga apektadong lugar dahil sa pag-alboroto ng Bulkang Mayon."
