Trucks and cars dispatched by M Lhuillier traveled all the way from Cebu City to Leyte Island last Nov. 26 to deliver relief goods to Ormoc, Palo, Tanauan, Tacloban and accessible areas in Samar.
A team from M Lhuillier distributed the relief packs containing kilos of rice, canned goods, fresh milk, hygienic supplies such as soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes to everyone who lined up during the distribution.
Children aged 13 and below were also given sweets and other treats.
Financial aid came from patrons and partner companies such as TML Remittance Center Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) and Mercury Quick.
Smart Communications also took the initiative of sending almost 1,500 SIM packs for the affected residents.
For M Lhuillier Philippines, this is just the first phase of their commitment to helping communities.
Arne Jude Millares, general manager for the Visayas and Mindanao, said “all our efforts on corporate social responsibility programs aim to help the locals regain what they’ve lost.”
Currently, M Lhuillier Philippines is also rehabilitating their branches that were affected by the typhoon Yolanda. The company said that it won’t take long before they can resume operations.
