The True MVPs: Frontliners from Metro Pacific hospitals and government hospitals alike receive daily meals from Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan and Tulong Kapatid, the corporate social responsibility alliance of foundations and companies under the MVP Group of Companies, as a show of support for their tireless commitment to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The corporate social responsibility initiative of the MVP Group of Companies, ‘Tulong Kapatid”, distributed over 7,800 meals for COVID frontliners in nine hospitals over the weekend.
Now, the group intends to carry out the feeding program for more hospitals and healthcare facilities for the whole month of April and “will continue to do so as needed”, according to Tulong Kapatid’s statement issued today (April 6) “to express its thanks to as many frontliners as possible”.

+ April 06, 2021 THIS was the term broadcaster and commentator Bobby Nalzaro used in a radio program in referring to government’s move to reopen face-to-face classes for schools of medicine and allied sciences as a way to reinforce the fleet of frontliners in this pandemic. These future doctors, nurses, therapists, midwives, medical technologists and physical therapists appear like they are being fed into the lair.
Late last month, the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) released a list of 24 schools that have complied with the guidelines for reopening. Ched Chairman Prospero de Vera III said they have been “inspected by Ched and their LGUs so they can now bring their third and fourth year students for hands-on training and laboratory classes in a limited face-to-face system.”
