Following the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses, PHILUSA Corporation handed over much-needed sanitation and hygiene products to displaced families through Manila Water Foundation (MWF)'s Agapay Sanitasyon program.

Sanitation for San Mateo Evac Centers

On November 17, MWF trooped to San Mateo Elementary School, the largest evacuation center in San Mateo, Rizal to deploy Albatross and Cleene products from PHILUSA Corporation. The products would help maintain the cleanliness of the evacuation center since thousands of evacuees are temporarily residing there. Most of the evacuees' homes have not recovered from its damages yet, hence they will be staying in the evacuation center longer.
