BDO Foundation donates rescue boats to Angat Buhay

THE onslaught of Typhoon Enteng has left portions of Naga City in Camarines Sur submerged in floodwater even days after its impact.

Responding to its call for help, BDO Foundation, with the help of BDO Network Bank, donated six rescue boats for the barangay (villages) of Naga through the Angat Buhay Foundation.

The boats will help rescuers provide aid to flooded households and support Angat Buhay's goal of improving the barangay's capacity for disaster response efforts.

«We hope that these rescue boats enhance the capacity of the ones in the frontline and help them safeguard affected families in times of natural calamities,» BDO Foundation President Mario Deriquito shared.

Apart from its commitment to disaster response, the foundation also puts importance to building long-term resilience in vulnerable communities.

BDO Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank.

Founded in 2008, the foundation contributes to nation-building by addressing the needs of various sectors of society through programs in the areas of financial inclusion, disaster response, rehabilitation and rebuilding.
