QUEZON, Nueva Vizcaya (January 13)—At least 100 poor families in the upland town of Kasibu were given various food packs including fruit-bearing tree seedlings by a British firm operating in Barangay Runruno in this town.
James Carmichael, FCF Minerals Corp. country manager, said the donation is part of the company’s efforts to reach out even to its non-impact communities through the conduct of Outreach Programs and Environmental Awareness Campaigns.
Carmichael said another non-impact community in Solano town has also benefited with packs of grocery items which was accepted by the Sangguniang Bayan of Solano local government unit for its constituents.
He said the donation aims to help the local government unit of Solano in reaching out to their poor constituents who were heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Carmichael also noted that the donation was made possible through funding from the company’s 2022 Social Development and Management Program or SDMP to help Covid-19-affected communities.
“This is a continuing program assisting local government units in their fight against the Covid-19 pandemic which continues to affect the livelihood of villagers in the province,” he added.
