Never say die! SMC to produce alcohol in Ginebra plant which RSA plans to donate to LGUs, hospitals
Bilyonaryo Ramon S. Ang is moving to meet the surge in demand for hand sanitizers brought about by the virus outbreak pandemic.
Ang said San Miguel Corp. would produce 70 percent ethyl alcohol products in one of its facilities which would be distributed for free to public hospitals communities through their local government units.
“While hand-washing is still the best defense, hand sanitizers with 70 percent alcohol can be your next best option where soap and water are not available. We have the means and capability to produce this, and make it available for free to LGUs and public hospitals. We are working on getting the necessary clearances from the relevant government agencies, to produce this for public use. We ask that they help expedite clearances,” said Ang.
Ang said SMC spirits subsidiary, Ginebra San Miguel Inc., has began initial production of the alcohol over the weekend, for initial use in its facilities and for thousands of employees.
“This is so our facilities and our own employees will not be taking away from the already limited supply that’s available to the public. Our main intention is to get this to our government and healthcare providers at the soonest possible time,” he said
Made through the fermentation of molasses, 70 percent ethyl alcohol is known to kill most germs and viruses which the government needs for disinfection of public, healthcare, and public facilities.
San Miguel is also donating over 13,000 units of its Protect Plus Gold disinfectant powder. Each canister can clean and disinfect a space of up to 650 square meters.
The product, produced by the San Miguel Food Group’s Animal Health Care division, is used for sanitizing air spaces and surfaces in facilities and even in hog farms whenever there are disease outbreaks.
Labeled potassium monopersulfate triple salt, it is safe for use even when there are people inside the room or space being sanitized.
“We are in a race against time to try and stop the spread of Covid-19 virus. Our government and healthcare front liners need all the support and help they can get,” he added.
hindi lang pala rubbing alcohol. Pati pala pagkain magdonate si ramon ang para doon sa totoong vulnerable communities like yung mga arawan ang sweldo.
San Miguel to Donate Food to Poor and FrontlinersIndustry
San Miguel to Produce Food 24/7 for Public, Donate Food to Poor and Frontliners
The conglomerate is stepping up in these troubling times.

As the country grapples with the impact of COVID-19 and Metro Manila’s lockdown officially takes effect, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) is stepping up its social responsibility efforts. As one of the biggest producers and distributors of food, beverages, fuel, oil, infrastructure, and power in the country, SMC will now be donating free food and alcohol to those who need it
Food for the Poor and Frontliners
According to SMC president Ramon S. Ang, the conglomerate will be distributing food donations to the most affected and vulnerable communities: the poor or daily wage earners who will lose their income for a month and the frontliners (healthcare workers, hospitals, government workers) who will be facing the virus head on.
Prior to lockdown, thousands succumbed to panic-buying with alcohol, soap, canned goods, tissue paper, and other necessities wiped clean from the shelves. However, Ang emphasizes, “Panic has no purpose at this time.” The SMC head reassured the public that the food supply will not run out as SMC has “the capability to produce enough for everybody and deliver to supermarkets.”
SMC’s food manufacturing facilities will be operating 24/7, while adopting necessary health measures, in order to produce enough food.
“This isn’t about making profits. We have a responsibility to make sure that food is made available to as many people as possible,” said Ang.
Free Alcohol
SMC will also be producing 70-percent ethyl alcohol at one of its facilities, with plans to distribute the product for free to the local government units in need. This will address the shortage of alcohol in all stores across the capital and beyond.
According to Ang, he’s also looking to donate disinfectant powder to LGUs and alcohol in 20-liter containers up to 1,000-liter tote tanks for the disinfection of hospitals, government facilities, and public areas.
For now, SMC is focusing on getting the government greenlight to produce and distribute these products for public use.
“We are in a race against time to try and stop the spread of COVID-19,” explained Ang. “Our government and healthcare frontliners need all the support and help they can get.”
Work-From-Home and Salary for Employees
Meanwhile, its fuel, power, and infrastructure subsidiaries (Petron Corporation, SMC Global Power Holdings Corp., and SMC Infrastructure) will continue to operate as normal.
Majority of SMC offices in Metro Manila have now adopted a work-from-home scheme, while Ang stated that all SMC employees will still receive their monthly income despite the lockdown and possible work discontinuation.
SM Group pledges P1 million for COVID-19 supplies, kits | Money | GMA News OnlineSM Group pledges P100 million for COVID-19 supplies, kits
Published March 16, 2020 11:55pm
The SM Group has pledged P100 million for efforts to battle the spread of COVID-19 in the Philippines.
In the statement, the group said the amount would go toward providing personal protective equipment (PPEs), test kits, alcohol, and other medical supplies to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), and other hospitals.
"As there is a local shortage of personal protective equipment - face masks, gowns, visors, hoods, gloves, and shoe covers, SM is bringing these PPEs in for government hospitals who badly need them," it said.
SM said it has reached out to Manila Healthtek, Inc., the spinoff corporation that will manufacture local test kits developed by the University of the Philippines-National Institute of Health researchers, to distribute 20,000 tests for free to government hospitals. The test kits are currently undergoing field testing.
SM said it is also working with PGH and RITM to see how to expand laboratory testing capacity.
"To provide PPEs and medical supplies to an even wider network of hospitals, SM has also been working actively with UP Medical Foundation Inc. to reach their network of hospitals," it said. --JST, GMA News

Chatime, Gong Cha in Rob Mag still open despite ECQ. Starbucks closed all branches. Guess who chose life (welfare of employees) and guess who chose money ($$$$$)?![]()
heaven with a chinese surname lee,
hindii papatok starbucks mo ngayon walang sosi pretentious tambay minimum 2hours max of 4 hours hindi pa rin ubos inorder waley sarap eh.
If you take out starbucks ngayon that is so malungkot. Hindi na makakasosy hindi pa masarap hahahahah
si milkteh buhay kahit tambay at take out. And majority who milkteh eh takeout talaga because the purpose is the taste not to pretend.
and look at the joy sa face ng frontliners nakatanggap ng milkteh. Pag kape binigay mo malungkot kasi nakatago hindi makikita ng tao waley alfresco tambay.![]()
Excuses, lame excuses, sir. Bottomline -- milk tea operators can't help but still operate because of the lure and lust for $$$$$$. Greed is good.It's not the owners who'll get sick and probably die anyway, it's the poor employees. They readily and willingly sacrifice employees' lives in the altar of $$$$$$
In these times, I heart starbucks for unselfishly and uncompromisingly putting lives above $$$$$$$.![]()
