Responding to the after effects of disaster

Just a few weeks before 2021 closed, Typhoon Odette (known internationally as Typhoon Rai) brought devastating rain, wind, and storm surges in the country. Lasting just a day, it heavily affected the provinces of Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands in Mindanao, five provinces in Visayas, and the island of Palawan in Luzon.

With thousands affected, including many of our staff and forecourt champions in different stations, Pilipinas Shell provided a swift response in devastated areas in the forms of relief goods provision, fuel supply, and Shelter Repair Kits, together with partner organizations such as DZRH, Benita and Catalino Yap Foundation (BCYF), and the University of Cebu.

Pilipinas Shell has allocated PHP 3.5M for its Typhoon Odette Disaster Relief Operations to provide relief goods (food, drinking water, hygiene kits, etc.) to 6,928 families (or 27,712 individuals) impacted by Typhoon Odette. Our Mobility business has also provided 6 million litres of fuel supply to various sectors. Employees/staff who were affected were also given temporary shelters, access to emergency loans, and HMO needs.

An additional PHP 12M has also been set aside to provide more relief assistance and to aid in the rehabilitation phase in 10 provinces.
