FDC donates Covid-19 test kits to Aklan

Filinvest owns Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay and extends a helping hand to Boracay by donating COVID-19 test kits to its constituents. This is what REBPH calls give and take and acknowledges Filinvest’s initiative to help.

Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC) on Monday said it donated a real-time PCR system and applied biosystem to the Molecular Laboratory of Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital in Aklan province.

The donation, facilitated by the Department of Tourism (DOT), will help fast-track test for coronavirus disease 2019 of locals and tourists in Aklan. This initiative supports the reopening of Boracay Island to tourists in line with the IATF-T3 (Test, Trace, Treat) program that aims to boost consumer confidence to rebuild the Tourism Industry as it continues to recover from the impact of Covid-19.



“We are working hand in hand with the DOT, the Provincial Government of Aklan and the Municipality of Malay to help tourists feel safe and have peace of mind when they visit Boracay. We believe this donation along the other national and local anti-Covid initiatives will entice tourists back to Boracay and bring back the livelihood of the locals,” Francis Gotianun, senior vice president of Filinvest Hospitality Corp., said.

This initiative supports the “Boracay Better than Ever” campaign that was recently launched by One Boracay, a group of hotel operators on the island, Aklan LGU together with the Municipality of Malay, Boracay Chamber of Commerce and the DOT regional office as an invitation to reconnect and experience once again the world-class beautiful island of Boracay.
