In a bid to help support the perseverance of every Filipino this 2023, coffee brand NESCAFÉ led this as early as the start of the year wherein millions of cups of coffee were given to workers and dreamers nationwide starting in key cities in Metro Manila, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro, and this will extend throughout the country within the year.
Nurses, doctors, policemen, and firemen were among the recipients of Bangon Kits, as a way to help them power through in helping their communities in need of their service.
