The “Pantawid ng Pag-ibig” campaign of ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. (AFI) has raised P350 million in cash donations and pledges for the benefit of over 600,000 families in Metro Manila and nearby provinces affected by the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
As of April 27, the total cash received by the fundraising campaign is at P329 million, which will be used to purchase products that will be delivered to local government units (LGUs) for repacking and distribution to their constituents.
To date, “Pantawid ng Pagibig” has purchased products worth P272 million while receiving in-kind donations worth P56.8 million. About P293.7 million worth of these supplies have been turned over to the LGUs and delivery of goods will continue until all donations are exhausted
The products delivered to all the LGUs in the campaign’s first run is estimated to benefit over 600,000 families.
AFI, the network and its partners are firming up plans for the second phase of “Pantawid ng Pag-ibig.”
