Robinsons Malls partner up with Go Negosyo to vaccinate 170,000 MSME workers nationwide

Robinsons Land Corp. on Friday announced that it has partnered with non-profit organization Go Negosyo to vaccinate employees of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Robinsons Malls have opened its Lingkod Pinoy Centers to Go Negosyo’s vaccination program, “A Dose of Hope.” They aim to serve nearly 300 MSMEs with close to 170,000 employees nationwide.

According to Robinsons, MSMEs comprise 99% of the Philippine economy and are, in a way, are our “economic frontliners.”

“Under ‘A Dose of Hope’ program, pioneered by Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion, the private sector, vaccine manufacturers, and the government have agreed to expedite the vaccine procurement process for private-sector employees and economic frontliners,” said Robinsons.

The Philippines is battling one of Asia’s worst COVID-19 outbreaks, and with the arrival of the highly infectious Delta variant, it is likely to worsen.

“The Delta virus is here, and we must prepare now. With more and more cases being recorded, it’s become a tight and dangerous race between Delta and the government and private sector’s efforts to vaccinate the unvaccinated,” said Concepcion.

“I recognize the efforts of our partner Robinson Land Corporation, for facilitating a speedy private sector’s vaccination rollout, and making it more accessible to our MSMEs who have been greatly affected by this pandemic,” he added.
