Andrew Tan-led Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI) is donating one million liters of disinfectant alcohol to the government to help on its fight against the coronavirus disease or COVID-19.
In a statement, AGI said around 850,000 liters of 96 percent ethyl alcohol will be converted into sanitizing and disinfectant alcohol.
“Through the Department of Health, we hope to distribute disinfectant alcohol to as many, if not, all the hospitals and clinics that are treating COVID-19 patients all over the country,” said AGI chief executive officer Kevin Andrew Tan.
The alcohol will be distributed to hospitals, clinics, Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and other government institutions in the frontline to curb the spread of COVID-19.
