As part of the celebration of National Heroes Day and LG Electronics' 30th anniversary, respect and homage are brought to the heroes of the Marawi siege as the electronic company donated several LG appliances to the Victoriano Luna Medical Center recently.
In a simple ceremony held on Aug. 29 at the AFP Health Service Command, Inkwun Heo, Managing Director of LG Philippines, handed over 10 1.5 HP Dual Cool Inverter Split Type Air Purifying Deluxe Airconditioners, two 13kg Inverter Top Load Washing Machines, one 24 cu ft Side by Side Refrigerator and 10 43" Smart TVs to Col. Jeffrey Jake Gallenero, Philippine Army MNSA, Chief of Staff, AFP Health Service Command.
Also present were the chiefs of each operating unit and staff of the AFP Health Service Command.
The Victoriano Luna Medical Center serves as the sanctuary that provides comfort for the valiant soldiers and victims of the Marawi siege. With LG's effort to fulfill its commitment, through the donated products, the ease to recovery from the sustained injuries during the siege is ensured. Each product is expected to provide comfort not just for the patients but also to their families at the wards.
Each air conditioner features an independently working Air Purification mode, assuring that the air the patients breathe is clean and never stale, even when the unit is switched off.
LG air conditioners also operate at low sound levels to provide better rest and uninterrupted sleep for the wounded soldiers.
“LG, through its products, is committed to making an everyday difference in the lives of individuals,” said Heo. “On its 30th anniversary, LG Philippines is honored to support the injured soldiers of Marawi and the Victoriano Luna Medical Center, and we hope that our small gesture will go far in helping these soldiers on their road to recovery.”
Meanwhile, BGen Augustus H De Villa, Acting Commander AFP Health Service Command expressed his appreciation and gratitude to LG Electronics.
“I, together with the staff of the AFP Health Service Command, would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to LG Philippines. This deed of donation signing is a concrete realization that our soldiers’ efforts are greatly recognized by the people they are serving. May you continue supporting our troops as they protect and secure the sovereignty of our nation,” said De Villa.
Aside from this, LG also donated health kits and computer monitors to the benefit of 46 public schools in Marawi.
These initiatives are part of the company’s goals of promoting products and services that serve the local community. Through its CSR projects, LG will continue to serve the Filipino people by developing—and sharing—technology that cares.
