Allianz Pnb Life and Employees Raise ₱350,000 for Earthquake-Affected Mindanao Families

An employee-led fundraising drive at Allianz PNB Life, matched by the company, has generated ₱350,000 to support earthquake-affected families in selected communities in Sarangani Province and General Santos City.

The funds will be coursed through the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) for its Child and Maternal Support Program, with assistance focused on mothers, newborns and young children.

The initiative addresses needs that continue beyond the immediate emergency, as families work to restore their homes, livelihoods and daily routines.

Nutrition, newborn care and hygiene support

Through the program, PDRF will provide emergency nutrition assistance, newborn care packages, and hygiene and sanitation kits.

Priority groups include children under five years old, lactating mothers and their newborns, alongside other families still dealing with the disaster’s effects.

PDRF will coordinate assistance with local government units and communities. The announcement does not specify the number of beneficiaries or a distribution schedule.

Employee contributions matched by Allianz

The initiative began as a voluntary fundraising effort among Allianz PNB Life employees. The company matched their contributions, bringing the combined donation to ₱350,000.

Employees who participated described the drive as a way to maintain support for families whose recovery needs remain even after public attention shifts elsewhere.

Ryanne Balintec, IT Portfolio and Business Relationship Manager, emphasized the continuing challenges faced by affected households. Pionna Arenas, Service Excellence Lead, highlighted how contributions from individual employees could become more useful when pooled together.

The matching contribution increased the resources available for PDRF’s planned assistance.

Supporting recovery beyond immediate relief

PDRF President Rene Butch Meily said the partnership would help provide essential support for mothers, newborns and young children in recovering communities.

Allianz PNB Life Chief Marketing Officer Rozanne Magararu connected the initiative with the company’s efforts to help communities regain stability during difficult periods.

The program’s focus recognizes that disaster recovery includes everyday family needs. Food, newborn supplies and hygiene essentials remain important while households rebuild and manage disruptions to their income.

By combining employee donations, company support and PDRF’s coordination on the ground, the initiative will direct assistance toward families facing those continuing pressures in Sarangani and General Santos City.
