Etiqa Philippines recently partnered with the Craniofacial Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (CFFP) to sponsor corrective surgeries for five (5) cleft lip and cleft palate child patients from indigent families. This initiative is in line with the company’s brand promise "to make the world a better place" by Sharing the Gift of Smile.
The Craniofacial Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (CFFP) is a non-stock, non-profit, non-sectarian, and non-government organization that provides free surgeries, rehabilitation, and training to patients with oral and maxillo-facial and craniofacial anomalies and communicative disorders.
Last October 17, 2019, two of the cleft palate patients were given free cleft lip repair and cleft palate surgery with the help of volunteer doctors and personnel from the CFFP at the Craniofacial Center in Sta. Mesa Manila. Also present at the operation were Etiqa representatives and CFFP board members.
This is the company’s first CSR program under the Etiqa name that continues their long standing tradition of making a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, and communities.
