SMC was also set to procure on April 20 the first 10,000 PPE coveralls from local garment manufacturers belonging to the Confederation of Wearable Exporters of the Philippines (Conwep) which were tapped by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to make the needed PPE.

We stay committed to helping ease the strain on our medical system and protecting our medical health workers,” SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang said in a statement.
