Aboitiz Foundation raises Php 30 million from mega star Sharon Cuneta and Union Bank of the Philippines

Public Advisory

Aboitiz Foundation, the group’s social development arm, has also already raised Php 30 million pesos, thanks to pledges of support from both internal and external sources.  Mega star Sharon Cuneta has pledged Php 5 million pesos via twitter to the foundation, while Union Bank of the Philippines, the group’s banking arm has also pledged Php 25 million pesos.

In her tweet the actress said she is giving Php 5 million pesos to Aboitiz Foundation and another Php 5 million to Alagang Kapatid, ABC Channel 5’s foundation. “ This is how much I believe in you both. God bless Visayas”, she said.

The Php 30 million pesos worth of total pledges supports Aboitiz Foundation’s current relief efforts in the Visayas for victims of super typhoon Yolanda, where it has set up a command center.  The foundation is currently conducting an assessment of the needs in Leyte while already transporting relief packs and hygiene kits to 6,500 families in the hardest hit areas in Northern Cebu.
