Supporting disaster preparedness

WD-40 Company USA, through its exclusive marketing distributor Herco Trading Inc. and its affiliate company Fedchem Manufacturing and Distribution Inc., recently donated almost P1 million worth of WD-40 Multi-Use Product to the Philippine Red Cross, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the GMA Kapuso Foundation in support of disaster mitigation and relief efforts. This is an undertaking they have done in the past.

“WD-40 and our companies uphold the same principle of ‘helping those who help others,’ said Herco president Wilfred Co.

Philippine Red Cross chair and chief executive officer Richard Gordon and secretary general Gwendolyn Pang were present during the turnover ceremony attended by Co and Herco marketing manager Elite Marcelo. The WD-40 Multi-Use Product donation will be used in the maintenance of PRC’s fleet of ambulances, light fire, amphibian, off-road and other rescue vehicles.

MMDA acting chair Romando S. Artes received the WD-40 donation at the MMDA headquarters in Pasig City. The MMDA intends to use WD-40 for its numerous projects including its flood pumping stations and floodgates scattered all over Metro Manila.
