FBM Foundation to be honored at PGH Medical Foundation Inc.’s 27th Founding Anniversary and Donors Appreciation Night

FBM Foundation’s commitment to supporting PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. has been a cornerstone of its efforts to improve healthcare in the Philippines and this donation proves it once again. The ceremony also counted with the presence of Ms. Catherine Tobias, Senior Group Finance Manager, and Ms. Lulu Barreras, Foundation’s Project Coordinator, who attended the event in close proximity with the FBM Foundation team.

In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FBM®️ Group donated ₱5 million to PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. This substantial contribution was instrumental in acquiring vital medical equipment necessary to combat the spread of the virus. The funds provided critical support that enabled the hospital to treat patients effectively during one of the most challenging periods in recent history.

Enhancing Pediatric Care at PGH Medical Foundation, Inc.

In 2023, the FBM Foundation further supported PGH’s Pediatrics Department by allocating ₱1 million to enhance its services and facilities. This donation significantly improved the quality of care provided to children, ensuring that young patients and their families received better treatment and support during their time at the hospital.

"We were deeply honored to be recognized by PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. on this special occasion," said Pepe Costa, FBM Foundation’s Representative in the Philippines. “Our partnership with PGH is living proof of our shared vision of uplifting the lives of Filipinos through accessible and high-quality healthcare. We remain committed to supporting the hospital’s mission and look forward to future opportunities to contribute to its goals.”

FBM Foundation’s Broader Impact Across the Philippines

Beyond its contributions to PGH Medical Foundation, Inc., the FBM Foundation has been actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of Filipinos across the country. In the field of education, the Foundation launched scholarship programs that have enabled hundreds of underprivileged students to pursue higher education.

Additionally, the Foundation supported the construction and renovation of school facilities in remote areas, ensuring that children in underserved communities had access to safe and conducive learning environments.

In healthcare, beyond its partnership with PGH Medical Foundation, Inc., the Foundation funded medical missions and supported programs aimed at combating malnutrition and promoting maternal and child health.
