The True MVPs: Frontliners from Metro Pacific hospitals and government hospitals alike receive daily meals from Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan and Tulong Kapatid, the corporate social responsibility alliance of foundations and companies under the MVP Group of Companies, as a show of support for their tireless commitment to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The corporate social responsibility initiative of the MVP Group of Companies, ‘Tulong Kapatid”, distributed over 7,800 meals for COVID frontliners in nine hospitals over the weekend.
Now, the group intends to carry out the feeding program for more hospitals and healthcare facilities for the whole month of April and “will continue to do so as needed”, according to Tulong Kapatid’s statement issued today (April 6) “to express its thanks to as many frontliners as possible”.

In an advisory posted on its social media pages, the TPB said it will continue to refrain from endorsing applications for the 50 percent RT-PCR test subsidy at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) and the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) from April 5 to 11.
This was after the government decided to extend the prevailing enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila, Laguna, Bulacan, Cavite, and Rizal–collectively known as “NCR-plus”– during the same period.
TPB said it will resume providing endorsements to their partner hospitals on Friday, April 9, for those scheduled to depart from April 12 onwards.
