Teleperformance supports Davao frontliners with donation to the Southern Philippines Medical Center

 Davao City, Philippines – In line with its commitment to help cities across the country in their fight against Covid-19, Teleperformance Philippines, through its corporate social responsibility arm Citizen of the World, is making a donation to the Southern Philippines Medical Center. 

The PHP 300,000 donation aims to support the health frontliners of Davao City as they continue to serve its citizens amidst the ongoing pandemic. This amount is a collective offering of Teleperformance Philippines employees, who raised their donations through Citizen of the World program, and the amount was matched by Teleperformance.  

Citizen of the World, which provides a channel for employees across the Teleperformance organization to work together for the benefit of others, has been proactively supporting collective efforts against the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Citizen of the World provided support to private organizations and public institutions based in Metro Manila and Rizal province to aid in their fight against the effects of the virus. This came in various forms of donation like medical equipment, grocery packages, and monetary aid among others.

“As we continue to fight the same battle, Teleperformance and Citizen of the World would like to show our support to the city of Davao. We hope that our contribution to the Southern Philippines Medical Center will support the city’s frontliners in overcoming the challenges brought by the pandemic and will help us come together stronger as a community,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Senior Vice President for Human Capital Resource Management of Teleperformance Philippines and Citizen of the World Foundation President.
