Prime Infra Foundation, in coordination with Prime Waste Solutions (PWS) Pampanga, distributed relief assistance to families affected by the recent southwest monsoon or habagat across host communities in Pampanga.

Rice packs were distributed to 3,540 beneficiaries in the municipalities of San Simon and Porac, the waste recycling company said.

Relief operations began on August 13, 2026 in San Simon town, reaching 2,840 beneficiaries.

The outreach program continued on August 20 in Porac, where assistance was provided to 600 beneficiaries in Barangay Planas and 100 in Barangay Calantas.

Volunteers from the local government units supported the relief effort, helping facilitate the distribution of rice packs to affected families in their respective communities.

Prime Infra Foundation said the effort is part of its support for host communities during emergencies and other periods of disruption. 

By bringing essential food supplies directly to affected households, the relief effort complements local response and recovery initiatives, the foundation added.

As a long-term member of the Porac community, PWS Pampanga said it continues to work with its host communities beyond its day-to-day operations, supporting initiatives that contribute to community well-being and resilience.

PWS Pampanga operates a large-scale materials recovery facility designed to maximize resource recovery through sorting, segregation, recycling, and the production of refuse-derived fuels.
