In the wake of the devastating 6.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Cebu on September 30, VinFast Philippines and Green GSM stepped in with immediate and meaningful support — reaffirming their deep commitment to standing with Filipino communities in times of crisis.
Responding to urgent calls from local authorities, the two companies launched a joint relief initiative, donating ₱10 million directly to the Cebu Provincial Government to aid recovery efforts. The funds will be used flexibly to address critical needs, including food and water distribution, shelter reconstruction, and infrastructure repair.
Cebu Governor Patricia Baricuatro personally received the donation and expressed heartfelt gratitude:
“We are very grateful for your kindness. This support will help us rebuild damaged schools, offices, and homes. We hope VinFast and Green GSM will continue to stand with the people of Cebu.”
On the Ground: Fast Action, Real Impact
Green GSM was among the first responders, arriving in Cebu just one day after the quake. The team delivered 500 relief packages containing drinking water and essential food items and is currently deploying mobile tents to provide temporary shelter for displaced families.
Green GSM staff are working closely with local authorities to assist in logistics, rescue coordination, and supply distribution — ensuring that aid reaches affected residents swiftly and safely.
“As soon as we received the call for help, we mobilized immediately,” said Mr. Dao Quy Phi, President and CEO of Green GSM Philippines. “Our drivers and team members are on the ground, helping ensure relief gets to those who need it most.”
Corporate Compassion in Action
Mr. Antonio Zara A. Aguila III, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, emphasized the company’s commitment to community resilience:
“We empathize deeply with the people of Cebu. This support is not just a duty — it’s a meaningful way to help restore stability and hope.”
The relief efforts reflect the enduring values of Vingroup, founded by Pham Nhat Vuong, twice honored by Forbes as one of Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy. Across the Vingroup ecosystem, companies like VinFast and Green GSM have consistently responded to natural disasters and public health emergencies with compassion and action — from flood relief and free healthcare to education programs and livelihood support.
Standing Together, Moving Forward
VinFast and Green GSM’s swift response in Cebu is a powerful reminder of how corporate social responsibility can uplift communities in their most vulnerable moments. Their actions not only address immediate needs but also foster long-term resilience, solidarity, and hope.
