Cebuana Lhuillier initiated “Pera Padalove,” a fund-raising drive for the victims of Typhoon Odette through its money remittance service

Responding to the urgent needs of communities affected by the recent rampage of Typhoon Odette in areas of Visayas and Mindanao, Cebuana Lhuillier, one of the largest and leading micro financial services providers in the Philippines, has stepped up to organize relief and donation efforts. 

Aside from its ongoing donation drive program, under its “Tulong sa Pagbangon” program, the company has initiated “Pera Padalove,” a fund-raising drive for the victims of Typhoon Odette through its money remittance service.

“We are always known for our spirit of Bayanihan and during this challenging time, our kababayans from Visayas and Mindanao need us more than ever. Following the typhoon, we immediately mobilized Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation and its “Tulong sa Pagbangon” donation drive program to help our Ka-Cebuanas that were gravely hit by the typhoon. To further add to the funds raised for this effort, we decided that all transaction fees for all remittances going to areas affected by the typhoon will be donated to all our kababayans in need,” Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier said.

For every remittance transaction up to Php5,000.00, all service charge incurred will be donated to Typhoon Odette victims. This will be applicable in close to 100 typhoon-stricken areas like Palawan, Bohol, Cebu, Cebu City, Tacloban City, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Eastern Samar, Negros Oriental and Occidental, Iloilo, Agusan province, and Surigao province, among others . For the complete list of covered areas, visit  https://www.cebuanalhuillier.com/cebuana-lhuillier-pera-padalalove-typhoon-odette-list-of-branches/. This fund raising program runs from December 23-28, 2021.

Amidst the recent calamity and with many of its branches and employees also affected by Odette, selected Cebuana Lhuillier branches in Visayas and Mindanao continued to have their doors remain open, opting to serve the affected clients. 

“We understand the need right now for continued and reliable access to financial services for all our Ka-Cebuanas. That is why, our branches in the region opted to remain open, especially in the most badly hit areas. This is our company’s legacy of service,” Lhuillier added.

PharmaServ Express provides medical cold-chain and logistics needs for the government’s national vaccination program

Due to the worldwide pandemic, the country has experienced an enormous logistics gap that heavily affected the supply chain across industries. Supply of food and other basic goods in various areas was affected by lack of transportation, especially during lockdowns. 

Thankfully, the country’s vaccination drive has been spared from such problems due to the expertise and vast experience of PharmaServ Express in providing medical cold-chain and logistics needs for the government’s national vaccination program. Proving that the government made the right choice in selecting its cold-chain and logistics partner, PharmaServ Express effective delivered the needed vaccines to various local government units (LGUs) in the country since the start of the vaccination program early this year. 

“This is mainly due to the company’s competence and expertise in handling these life-saving vaccines,” said Andrian Perez, president of PharmaServ Express, Inc. “Providing logistics is one thing but delivering world-class service to our fellowmen is another thing. Our company takes pride in living up to its commitment to excellent service,” he added. Living up to its status as the No. 1 Filipino-owned cold-chain and logistics firm in the country, PharmaServ Express more than effectively managed the integrity of vaccines entrusted to them, keeping them safe from arrival until its distribution to various parts of the country. 

Since the start of the vaccination rollout, the cold-chain firm has recorded no wastage, thanks to its meticulous and safe handling of vaccines, from storage, packing and distribution to local government units (LGUs). PharmaServ Express is the only company in the country that uses a biothermal case system that maintains the required temperature of the vaccines while being transported to various areas of the country.

It also has more than sufficient manpower and ground assets to transport the vaccines throughout the Philippines via land, sea and air and deliver them in a timely manner. “To deliver world-class service to our fellow countrymen was our objective for the year and we will strengthen and carry out this practice until the end of the pandemic,” said Perez. 

With the government planning to increase its COVID-19 immunity vaccination target from 70 percent to 100 percent due to emerging variants, PharmaServ Express is more than ready for the challenge. “We still have a long way to go, but PharmaServ Express is more than ready to face this challenge. We are fully equipped and fully capable,” Perez said.

 

PayMaya pays it forward to mental health frontliners

PayMaya pays it forward to the National Center for Mental Health by giving out 100 Christmas food baskets to NCMH Crisis Hotline responders and ER and Psychiatric Acute Unit staff.

 

Digital financial services leader PayMaya recently paid it forward to the frontlines of the National Center for Mental Health. The company distributed 100 Christmas food baskets to the NCMH Crisis Hotline responders and the Emergency Room and Psychiatric Acute Unit staff. 

 

"Promoting mental health is important, especially among our young people during this pandemic. We are paying it forward to our mental health frontliners who have been helping fight this silent battle. We admire them for bravely dedicating their time and effort to help those suffering from mental health issues," said Nick Wilwayco, Head of Public Affairs and Communications at PayMaya.

 

According to NCMH, the average volume of monthly calls they received during the pandemic nearly quadrupled versus pre-pandemic numbers. PayMaya's gift to NCMH is part of PayMaya's initiative under the MVP Group's Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko campaign, which aims to keep the Christmas spirit alive amid the pandemic.

 

Early this year, NCMH was also a beneficiary of the PayMaya It Forward Flash Donation Drive for COVID-19 frontliners.
