Manila Water Foundation, MWSS, and Safeguard Philippines handed over product support to 12 public hospitals in their campaign to promote hand washing with soap and water to avoid the spread of germs and communicable diseases. This is part of the Health in our Hands program of Manila Water Foundation which aims to raise awareness on the importance of sanitation and the healthy habits of proper toothbrushing and proper hand washing. The donation handover is a concrete synergy response as the Department of Health (DOH) notes a rise in COVID-19 cases and reports that the country now has 28 infections of the XBB.1.16 Omicron COVID-19 subvariant commonly known as the “Arcturus”.  

Manila Water continues to promote gender equality in the workplace, with a majority of women taking on leadership and technical roles. To date, the number of women leaders in its key departments is equal to men and even higher.
