BDO waives remittance fees for Typhoon Karding victims

Sy-led banking giant BDO Unibank Inc. is waiving remittance fees for donations sent to victims of Typhoon Karding until Nov. 30 this year.

BDO, via BDO Remit, said donors can send financial assistance to the following foundations: BDO Foundation Inc., ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc., GMA Kapuso Foundation Inc., and Philippine Red Cross.

“It is unfortunate that even as Christmas nears, natural calamities are still very much a reality here in the Philippines. Instead of preparing for the holidays, some of us are grieving and picking up the pieces after the onslaught of the super typhoon,” BDO senior vice president and head of remittance Genie T. Gloria said in the statement.

”With this campaign and the generosity from our Kabayans abroad, BDO Remit hopes it can help alleviate the pain somehow,” she added.

BDO Remit has offices in Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Daly City in the USA, Toronto, Canada, and London, UK. For the complete list of addresses, donors can visit www.bdo.com.ph, go to Remittance Services and click BDO Remit international network.

“Hopefully, with this, we can encourage more donations from our overseas Filipinos to help those adversely affected by Karding,” Gloria said.
