Carmen Copper honors Cebu media for help in fight against COVID-19

In appreciation of their contributions to the fight against COVID-19, Carmen Copper Corporation honored the media practitioners in Cebu by distributing health kits to 175 journalists from the different media outfits.
“We sincerely thank you for your commitment, competence and cooperation in our fight against COVID-19. We honor your sacrifices and hard work. Daghang salamat ug amping kanunay! (Thank you very much and be careful always)” Sofia P. Picardal, head of Carmen Copper’s Corporate Communication Department, told the beneficiaries.
The health kits consist of 10 kilos of rice, a box of surgical face mask, one month supply of multivitamins and a bottle of ethyl alcohol.
These essential items shall ensure that the beneficiaries are protected as they continue to brave the rigors of COVID-19 to bring the public accurate and reliable information on current affairs and the state of the pandemic in the province of Cebu.
Carmen Copper recognizes the important role that the media plays in the success of the war against COVID-19, which it believes is highly dependent on development communication. Despite the lockdown, the media continues to bring the public relevant information on disease prevention and control, extending its reach far and wide.
“The media has been our partner in raising awareness on responsible mining. This gesture shall show our appreciation to their sacrifices and valuable contribution during these most challenging times,” Picardal said.
Mitchelle Palaubsanon, president of the Cebu Federation of Beat Journalists (CFBJ), formally received the donation on behalf of its members during a simple turnover ceremony last September 4.
“On behalf of the members of the Cebu Federation of Beat Journalists, a massive thank you to Carmen Copper Corporation for giving us rice, vitamins, alcohol and facemasks. Thank you for honoring us, the media practitioners, who are also frontliners in this fight against the COVID-19 pandemic,” Palaubsanon said.
CFBJ is an organization of legitimate reporters, cameramen and photographers that has been existing for the past 16 years.
“Daghang Salamat Carmen Copper Corporation for recognizing and honoring the sacrifices and hard work of the legitimate members of Cebu Media,” said DYMR Radyo Pilipinas Cebu reporter Anabelle Lagrosas in a facebook post.
Cebu will be celebrating the 28th Cebu Press Freedom Week on September 20-26 to promote and defend free press.-(PR from Carmen Copper Corporation)
