The Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines Cares (PHAPCares) Foundation donated face masks and medicines on Tuesday for the use of evacuees and responders amid Taal Volcano’s restiveness.
The PHAPCares Foundation, in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), transported more than 16,500 face masks and medicines for respiratory illnesses, and potable water to evacuation centers in Santo Tomas and Padre Garcia in Batangas.
“We are aware that the health of our countrymen could be compromised as a result of the volcanic eruption. Augmenting needed medical supplies, such as face masks and medicines, are important to cushion the possible health consequences of the volcanic activity on the people and our emergency responders,” said PHAPCares Foundation President Jannette Jakosalem. The foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of the PHAP.
On Tuesday, MMDA Deputy Chairman Frisco San Juan Jr. received the face and N95 masks and goggles for use of agency responders.
“We thank PHAPCares Foundation for the much-needed face masks, medicines and goggles which are running out of stock and, sadly, being sold at a higher price because of the calamity. It is a must for every responder to wear masks and goggles for added protection,” said San Juan.
On Monday, rescue team and emergency assets of the MMDA were deployed to Batangas to assist residents affected by the volcanic eruption.
The health hazards of volcanic ash include respiratory illnesses, eye and skin irritation, accidents and psychological stress. At least 18,187 people are seeking temporary shelters in 76 evacuation centers, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said.
“We are particularly concerned with the effects of the ashfall, ground tremors and displacement, especially to the health of women, elderly and children, and those with existing health conditions. The foundation, along with our members, will continue to closely monitor and assess the needs in anticipation of more people being affected by the eruption,” said PHAPCares Executive Director Dr. Maria Rosarita Quijano-Siasoco.
The foundation also committed to provide other necessities, such as blankets, for the affected families this month.
With disaster preparedness and response as one of its core advocacies, the PHAPCares is also a partner of the MMDA in the conduct of the Earthquake Preparedness and Landslide Search and Rescue Orientation Course, which seeks to capacitate communities in the search and extraction of victims that may be trapped under collapsed structures.
