Vivo has donated smartphones to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), which is responsible for the conversion of existing venues and structures into quarantine facilities, swabbing centers, and isolation areas to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Charisma Buan, Vivo PR lead, turned over the smartphones over to Anna Mae Yu Lamentillo who is the Chairperson of DPWH’s Build, Build, Build infrastructure program. The devices will be used by medical frontliners whose task is to conduct COVID-19 mass testing on returning overseas Filipino workers at the Palacio de Maynila mega swabbing center along Roxas Boulevard.
“We are pleased to contribute in our own way to the government’s efforts to detect COVID-19 cases. Our donation will help establish a means of communications among teams of frontliners in the mega swabbing facility and even with their families,” Buan said.
