San Miguel Corp. president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang assured Monday the public that the company’s supply chain is stable and that it has more than enough inventory to feed Filipinos nationwide for the next several months.
Ang made the statement to stress there was no need to panic amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As far as food supply is concerned, we have the capability to produce enough for everybody and deliver to supermarkets,” he said, adding the company was already working on distributing food donations to poor communities where daily paid workers had been especially hard hit.
San Miguel will also supply food to public hospitals and select government centers.
The most important thing, Ang stressed, was that Filipinos stand together and help one another. “It is our sense of duty and obligation, (unity and compassion) that will see us through these difficult times.”
“Panic has no purpose at this time. Follow the directives of our government; cooperate in every way. This is the best way we can all help in fighting the Covid-19 virus, while the quarantine is in effect” he added.
