Aside from that, they have also provided their own bottled water, Select Water, to 7 hospitals during these time while their Shell retailers are giving food packs, biscuits and water for medical workers, police force and military personnel and logistics drivers.
"We learned of the dilemma of our frontliners, our everyday heroes, struggling to have their basic mask as part of their PPEs, we voluntarily donated 5,000 pieces of Masks for UP PGH and DOH. We just hope that somehow it will help them in their everyday hero works in their respective assignments. We salute all our health workers, the frontliners fighting against Covid-19," Cesar Abaricia of Shell Philippines external relations said, with hopes of giving more should they source more of it.
Aside from these, Pilipinas Shell partnered with Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation in COVID-19 response.
Further, the oil firm has donated relief goods for indigent families of Municipality of Pasacao, Camarines Sur.
