SM Group’s relief operations deliver aid to thousands

In the wake of continuous rains and widespread flooding brought by Severe Tropical Storms Crising, Dante, Typhoon Emong, and the southwest monsoon, SM Foundation rolled out its Operation Tulong Express (OPTE) to provide immediate relief to affected communities across the country.

In partnership with SM Supermalls and SM Markets, the Foundation distributed more than 18,800 Kalinga Packs, containing food and basic essentials. Relief operations covered several areas, including Metro Manila, Olongapo City, Bataan, Pampanga, Rizal, Pangasinan, Cavite, Tarlac City, La Union, Laguna, Cebu City.

An employee-volunteer from SM City Pampanga made their way to a flood-affected area to ensure the timely delivery of Kalinga Packs to families impacted by the recent flooding in the province.

These were distributed in coordination with local government units and barangay officials.

SM Foundation AVP for Livelihood and Outreach Programs Cristie Angeles said that the collaboration across SM’s business units added value to the effort and enabled a quick response to community needs. Volunteers from SM Supermalls, SM Markets, and SM Foundation worked together to pack and distribute Kalinga Packs to households affected by recent storms.

“Through OPTE, we make sure we are there for our communities not just in good times, but especially during crises,” Angeles said. “The dedication of our employees and partners allows us to respond quickly and compassionately when our fellow Filipinos need support the most.”
