MANILA, Philippines — Since the start of the pandemic, Procter & Gamble Philippines’ Force For Good program has focused on protecting the frontliners in hospitals, local government units, and government agencies who protect the country and help in recovery efforts. P&G was the first company to repurpose their manufacturing plant to have a medical grade face mask production line at the start of the pandemic and has since donated over three million face masks to help protect medical, healthcare and government frontliners. The company also previously provided PPE suits and health and hygiene products like Safeguard soap, Head & Shoulders, Tide and Ariel.
With the fast local transmission of the Delta variant, the company has again stepped up to help protect and support hospitals and frontliners who are again faced with a rising number of COVID patients.
Coinciding with PGH’s 114th founding anniversary, P&G donated 4,000 PPE suits and its newest healthcare product innovation, Vicks First Defence, to PGH to help protect frontliners in one of the hospitals that receives the most severe cases in Metro Manila. Vicks First Defence is a nasal spray product for early intervention of the common cold.
