BATANGAS: WorkLink Services Inc., a subsidiary of Chelsea Logistics and Infrastructure Holdings Corporation, Phoenix Petroleum and Udenna Foundation, through its UCare or CommUnity Care program and in coordination with Agrea, a social enterprise, have recently completed a Batangas-to-Malabon “Sagip Saka” run to deliver 6,000 kilos of fresh food packs from farmers to the city of Malabon.
Cherrie Atilano, founding farmer/president and chief executive officer and Agrea and UN Ambassador for Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement said, “The program originated from two initiatives: Move Food Initiative and Project Buy-ANIhan with Global Shapers Manila Hub, MasaHealthy and the Department of Agriculture Kadiwa Ani at Kita. But the initiative was in grave danger of not pushing through, and so were all the food packsin jeopardy of going to waste because of the enhanced community quarantine that affected the entire Luzon. There was no one willing to deliver the food packs to Malabon. [That] I went online to find anyone or any company willing.”
