The supplies were transported in Maxim\u2019s trucks, but since the road leading to the shelters had been destroyed, the task of delivering the goods was taken on by driver-partners using more mobile vehicles &#8211; motos.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 62 Maxim driver-partners took part in distributing relief goods to those in need. Together, they delivered more than 500 kilograms of rice, 200 packs of biscuits, and around 100 bottles of water. The campaign was jointly sponsored by the company and its partners, who were eager to help the affected residents during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>The following day, a group of driver-partners visited Vicente Sotto Hospital to donate blood. More than 60 victims of the earthquake had been admitted to the hospital, which, subsequently, left the medical facility with critically low blood supplies. Seventy-two driver-partners donated approximately 35 liters of blood, while their colleagues in Lapu-Lapu City followed with 30 more donors, contributing nearly 15 liters. All donations will be used to treat the patients injured by the earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>To further support recovery efforts, Maxim Cebu also organized a street cleanup to help mitigate the disaster\u2019s aftermath. From 5 to 8 a.m., the company\u2019s team cleared debris and helped restore order in the affected zone. This initiative not only improved the local environment but also reinforced Maxim\u2019s commitment to supporting local communities in times of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Building on these humanitarian efforts, Maxim\u2013Angeles Pampanga will also hold a blood donation activity at the Mabalacat LGU this coming October 30, continuing the company\u2019s advocacy of helping communities in need and promoting volunteerism among its driver-partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis earthquake has become a grave challenge for our communities, and it is at a time like this when we must stand together,\u201c said Poliran Christopher Landong, Head of Maxim Cebu. \u201cMaxim and our driver-partners are doing everything we can to support the people, be it street cleanups, blood donations, or whatever else that is needed. We are a team, and only by staying united can we overcome major difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This effort is one of the many social initiatives launched by Maxim Rides &amp; Food Delivery and its driver-partners. It marks another important step in community support, showing that Maxim\u2019s partners are always ready to come together when lives are at stake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The assistance reached about a hundred families in Bogo City, who had taken refuge in temporary shelters set up at Cebu Provincial Hospital Bogo City and Bogo Gymnasium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":72039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[2550,7829],"class_list":["post-72038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-corporate-social-responsibility","tag-maxim-cebu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72040,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72038\/revisions\/72040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
