Vivo donates surgical masks and more to hospitals and frontliners

With the help of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and other local government offices, the masks were distributed to the Philippine General Hospital and Bonifacio Global City administration office for distribution to St. Luke's Medical Center - Global City.

Vivo also directly handed similar donations to The Medical City Ortigas.

More than just face masks

Apart from the face masks, Vivo has distributed handwritten letters of gratitude and encouragement to boost the morale of frontliners. Some of the letters were directed to COVID-19 patients to give them hope.

With their valiant efforts, our medical frontliners are truly the heroes in this battle we are waging, but we also understand they are also human and can be physically and emotionally exhausted, said Charisma Buan, Vivo Philippines PR Lead.

Along with providing much-needed support, we also want to instill hope during this pandemic, especially to the victims and their families. With our modest contribution, we hope to help our medical frontliners in flattening the curve soon.

Thank you, Vivo!
