AS PART of its ongoing efforts to support local government units in their efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 in their respective localities, property giant Megaworld is donating 1,000 liters of disinfectant alcohol to the Bacolod City Government for the use of its healthcare and medical personnel in various hospitals and public health centers around the city.

Morever, the Andrew Tan-led company will also donate 5,000 surgical face masks to the city government, in response to the reported shortage of face masks in the city.
