Lance Gokongwei, JG Summit President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Beyond our organization, we have been supporting the national vaccination program through various initiatives of our business units in partnership with the local governments. The Gokongwei Group fully supports the national government’s vaccination program to safeguard the health of the Filipinos and hasten the nation's economic recovery from this pandemic.”
He said Cebu Pacific has already transported some 9 million Covid-19 vaccine doses from China to Manila. With its widest domestic network in the country covering 32 destinations, the airline has already ferried more than 1.8 million vaccine doses distributed to various cities, municipalities and provinces, such as Bacolod, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato, Davao, Legazpi, Masbate, Puerto Princesa, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, Virac, Zamboanga and Dipolog, among others.
Alex Reyes, Cebu Pacific Chief Strategy Officer, also said the airline has supported the City Government of Manila for its delivery of 400,000 doses of Sinovac vaccines from China after having been allowed by the national government to procure directly from Beijing.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to provide our expertise in international shipments, and we hope to continuously contribute by bringing in more life-saving vaccines from abroad,” he said.
In terms of providing safe, secure and accessible venues for vaccine administration, a total of 27 Robinsons Malls have partnered with local governments nationwide to serve as their vaccination sites, according to Arlene Magtibay, Robinsons Land Corp. Senior Vice President.
She said the presence of Robinsons Malls in strategic locations and key urban cities in the country has been instrumental and is a significant factor for the local governments to effectively roll out their vaccination drives, encompassing a large number of the Filipino population and encouraging them to be inoculated.
