In a heartfelt effort to bring relief to those affected by the recent floods, San Fernando Electric Light and Power Company (SFELAPCO) has donated 5,000 kilograms of rice to the flood victims in Macabebe and Masantol in Pampanga.
The donation, which was made through the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PamCham), aimed to provide immediate assistance to those in need.
Originally, the donation was intended to benefit the flood victims in the capital city of San Fernando, following the devastating typhoons Egay and Falcon.
However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the local government unit of San Fernando declined to accept the donation.
Despite this setback, Sfelapco maintained its commitment to corporate social responsibility and sought alternative ways to deliver the aid.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Pamcham took the initiative to redirect the assistance to Masantol and Macabebe, where there were a larger number of flood victims in need of immediate help.
This decision was made to ensure that the donation reached those who were most severely affected by the recent calamities.
“We would like to thank Pamcham for giving us the opportunity to help serve our fellow Kapampangans in need. The group and its network have been instrumental in identifying areas where the assistance is needed the most and in efficient distributing the goods,” Sfelapco said in a statement.
Sfelapco’s generous donation of 200 bags of 25-kilo rice will undoubtedly provide much-needed sustenance to the flood victims in Macabebe and Masantol.
As these communities strive to recover from the devastating consequences of the typhoons, this contribution will alleviate the burden on affected families and help them rebuild their lives.
The commitment of Sfelapco towards community development and its strong partnership with institutions like Pamcham are testimonies to the company’s genuine concern for the well-being of its stakeholders.
For years, Sfelapco has actively engaged in various socio-civic programs, incorporating corporate social responsibility into its core values.
By participating in initiatives that address the needs of local communities, the company demonstrates its commitment towards sustainable development and social welfare.
This recent donation of rice serves as a reaffirmation of Sfelapco’s dedication to its corporate social responsibility initiatives, even in the face of unexpected circumstances.
The company firmly believes that no one should be left behind in times of crisis, and as such, it continues to explore opportunities to lend a helping hand to those in need.
