ABS-CBN continues charity activities amid closure

ABS-CBN Corporation continues its charity activities despite the closure of its TV and broadcast operations. 

The media company on May 11 said its Pantawid ng Pag-Ibig program has delivered over P375 million worth of donations to some 750,000 families in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The company's Ligtas Pilipinas initiative has given medical equipment, food, drinks and flowers to medical personnel in 80 hospitals nationwide. 

Both initiatives are part of ABS-CBN's contributions to help the country combat COVID-19. 

Anyone seeking to aid ABS-CBN’s charity efforts may email foundation@abs-cbnfoundation.com, visit its Facebook page at fb.com/abscbnfoundationinc, or call 3415-2272 local 3792 for more information. 

ABS-CBN closed TV and radio operations on May 5 following an order from the National Telecommunications Commission. 

The company’s legislative franchise lapsed on May 4. 

Congress meanwhile continues to deliberate on its franchise renewal.
