Food and beverage giant San Miguel Corp. (SMC) assured the public of enough supply of food, fuel and power throughout the two-week strict lockdown aimed at curbing the Delta variant driven spread of COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila.
San Miguel president Ramon Ang said the conglomerate is also prepared to continue providing assistance to disadvantaged communities spanning its businesses around Metro Manila.
To date, the group has already spent over P14 billion to support the fight against the pandemic, mounting the biggest food donation drive in history.
“I would like to personally assure everyone that we have enough food inventory to last even many months. We’ve had a lot of learning from last year and we adjusted the way we operate. We are better prepared for sudden disruptions,” Ang said.
“As we did during the previous ECQs, we have business continuity plans in place that will allow for essential, critical operations to continue under the strictest safety protocols. This assures our government and the public that for our part, we can continuously provide food, power, and fuel during this critical time,” he added.
With most of San Miguel facilities located nationwide in various provinces outside Metro Manila, Ang said he expects minimal disruption to the supply of essential food, electricity, and fuel.
SMC is one of the country’s leading food and beverage, power, fuels, and infrastructure companies.
“There is nothing to worry as far as supply is concerned. For now, please prepare to stay at home, protect yourselves and your loved ones. Even if you are all vaccinated, please exercise greater caution as the delta variant is more transmissible,” Ang said.
