Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road development arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), through its subsidiary Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), donated over 7,000 COVID-19 vaccines to five local government partners in Region IV-A.
"The vaccine donation to CALAX
and CAVITEX communities through their LGU's is our gesture of support in aid of
the national government’s recovery plan towards attaining herd immunity against
COVID-19 here in the Region IV-A.”
said Arlette Capistrano MPT South Spokesperson and AVP for Communication and
Stakeholder Management.
Since the
start of 2022, the toll road company had started coordinating and donating 140
vials of company procured Moderna vaccines (each vial is equivalent to 10-11
doses) to the local governments of Parañaque in Metro Manila; General Trias,
Bacoor, and Silang in Cavite; and Biñan in Laguna.
"First of all,
I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for making projects that
make the lives of the Filipino people easier, from fast and reliable internet
and telecommunication to connecting us through the roads your company builds. I
would also want to send my heartfelt gratitude for remembering Silang and the
thousands of Silangueños that will benefit from your donation,” said Silang Cavite
Mayor Corie Poblete in a letter.
