Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Asset Management and Trust Corporation, Philippines, have extended help to the families affected in the ongoing crisis in Marawi City through Caritas Manila, the social arm of the Archdiocese of Manila, Philippines. The ongoing clash between government troops and terrorist groups has caused a number of people in the area to leave their homes. Recognizing the urgent needs and multiple risks faced by the evacuees, monetary donations and in-kind donations such as water, canned goods, powdered milk, hygiene kits, and clothes were given to Caritas Manila as a relief response to our fellow Filipinos.
