Nagpaabot ng tulong ang San Miguel Corporation (SMC) sa mga stranded na indibidwal na nasa Manila North Harbor sa Tondo, Maynila.

Ang mga stranded na indbidwal ay pawang naghihintay na mapayagang makasakay ng barko para makauwi ng lalawigan.

Nagbigay ng libreng pagkain tatlong beses sa isang araw at financial assistance ang SMC sa mga stranded.

Ayon kay SMC president at chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang simula noong Lunes, June 29 naghanda na kanilang mga volunteer sa “Better World Tondo” para mag-deliver ng makakain.

“When we learned of their plight, of having to stay and sleep at the seaport as they wait to return home, we immediately alerted our people at our Better World Tondo, our feeding and learning center there, which also operates as a food bank. We already serve daily meals and provide grocery packs to the local community, so helping out the seafarers was the natural thing to do,” ayon kay Ang.

Ang “Better World Tondo” ay feeding at learning center ng SMC sa Tondo.

“We really empathize with them. Just like any Filipino, they would want to get home to their families during this time of crisis. However, there’s also the need to comply with restrictions and policies on travel. As they are caught in a tough situation, we figured the least we could do is ensure they are fed, healthy, and well,” dagdag ni Ang.

Hanggang kahapon, araw ng Miyerkules, nakapaghanda na ang SMC ng 1,500 meals.

Ang mga napayagan namang makauwi na sa kanilang lalawigan ay binigyan din ng financial assistance ni Ang.
