Represented by SM Foundation Health and Medical Programs Executive Director Connie Angeles, SMFI handed 200 units of gasoline generators to PRC to provide power to the quake-stricken Türkiye and Syria.
Additionally, the
social good arm of SM also donated Php5 million to help address the needs of
earthquake victims.
The aid comes after a
7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southeast Türkiye and northwest Syria. The
disaster was followed by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake, hitting southern Turkiye,
which led to additional casualties and damages.
