Shopee, Shopee Xpress partner with brands and charities to aid Taal evacuees


The continued unrest of the Taal Volcano forced over 1,000 Filipino families to evacuate to nearby communities in Batangas last March. With Alert Level 3 still in place, these families continue to spend their days in evacuation centers across the region.

As part of its commitment to better the lives of the underserved, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, partnered with several brands and charity organizations to provide aid for Taal evacuees.

Shopee Philippines Director Martin Yu said, “As we remain steadfast in our commitment to be a force for good, especially in times when Filipinos need it the most, Shopee will work closely with our partners to help provide immediate relief to the evacuees. Our thoughts are with those affected and we hope that the situation in Taal will recover soon for these families to be able to return to their homes.”

Together with Shopee, partner brands such as Universal Robina Corporation, Colgate, and Monde Nissin, donated essentials such as drinking water and food items to affected residents. Through the help of its Shopee Xpress fleet and volunteers, Shopee transported and coursed donations through the ABS-CBN Foundation for the latter’s ongoing on-ground efforts.

These Shopee Xpress volunteers also helped collate and distribute potable water donated by the Luzon Clean Water Development to evacuation centers in Batangas.

Shopee also invites users to donate to those affected by the taal eruption and other emergencies through its partner charities found on the app.

Teleperformance Philippines COTW helps Taal communities with donation to Philippine Red Cross

Teleperformance Philippines corporate social responsibility arm Citizen of the World (COTW) recently turned-over the donation of its employee-volunteers to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), its chosen linkage partner to send support for the communities affected by the recent Taal Volcano eruption.



TP leaders turnover the Citizen of the World (COTW) donation of P250,000 to Philippine Red Cross representatives in support of its efforts to provide aid and relief to the communities affected by the recent Taal Volcano eruption. 


Chief Operating Officer Mike Lytle, Senior Vice President for Human Capital Resource Management Jeffrey Johnson, and Vice President for Human Resources Rachel Cacabelos represented the concerned donors in a ceremonial handover of a check for P250,000 that will be used by PRC to deliver essential medical assistance to families who remain in evacuation centers after the volcanic eruption. 

PRC Rizal Chapter OIC Ria S. Rivera and Donor Recruitment Officer Antonio Miguel T. Palpal-latoc expressed their appreciation for the COTW donors’ act of kindness which they said would truly help people in need. 

PRC is among the partner-beneficiaries that COTW regularly supports, as employee-volunteers also organize quarterly blood-letting drives as contribution to their continuous blood donation drive.
