Coca-Cola Philippines Provides Access to Water in Cavite

Coca-Cola Philippines is providing water access to more than 2,000 low-income families in the province of Cavite amidst the COVID pandemic. They used a portion of their PHP 150 million advertising fund for the cause.

The beverage firm partnered with Water and Life Philippines to join the Water Relief Fund that gives access to low-income families to potable water.

President and General Manager Winn Everhart said in a statement “Water has always been an essential resource for us, as evident in the nature of our business and in our interactions with the communities we serve,”

“Experience has shown us that addressing the critical water needs of communities has truly manifold benefits — socially, in health, and even financially as we help ease the burden of families with their water bills—which is why we will continue to support programs such as the Water Relief Fund,” Everhart added.

According to Coca-Cola Philippines, they have provided more than 50,000 sets of personal protective equipment for medical workers and food packs for 39,000 vulnerable families.

The company also distributed 500,000 liters of beverages to 125 hospitals, 99 LGUs, 53 national government agencies, and 50 non-governmental organizations and foundations in order to assist the Philippines in its fight against the COVID pandemic.
