San Miguel Corp. said Monday it waived P138 million worth of toll for medical frontliners using its expressways as of Dec. 20.
SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said the program, which continued non-stop since March, when the country was first placed under lockdown, remained in place because it is the company’s way of honoring and showing gratitude for front liners.
“It has been nine months since we started this program. And while our situation these days may be a little different since we have less restrictions, make no mistake: We are still in a pandemic, and our medical practitioners have not stopped fighting. They are still battling COVID-19 and sacrificing so much to save lives. That is why we have also not stopped showing our appreciation for them” Ang said.
“This privilege will still extend indefinitely. This year has been quite difficult for our country, and for all of us Filipinos. Through it all, our front liners have worked tirelessly and selflessly to save lives and help contain this virus. This Christmas season especially, let us be reminded that they are a gift and a blessing to all of us,” he said.
