On the economic front, Ayala Group maintained wage continuance for its employees during the toughest months of the lockdown. Ayala Land’s rent condonation assisted merchants to sustain their operations in the malls. Moreover, with Caritas Manila and the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), the group convened a private sector-led consortium and raised P1.7 billion to purchase and distribute grocery vouchers and in-kind donation, benefitting 14 million individuals in the most vulnerable barangays of Greater Manila Area. Amidst the pandemic, the Ayala Group continues to attract foreign and local investments into the country through various capital-raising exercises.  

We truly appreciate this recognition for our COVID-response initiatives.
