Villar Group to vaccinate workers vs COVID-19

The Villar Group said Tuesday it is set to vaccinate its employees and workers across the country.

The group said it has ordered vaccines from Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca for its existing workforce.

The group is also finalizing the process to allow employees to access vaccines for their families and household, it said.

“Ensuring the health and safety of our employees is our top priority. The vaccine will not only help build immunity from the virus, but will also help boost consumer confidence to go out again. Hence, the vaccine will not only save lives but jobs and businesses, as well,” said Villar Group chairman Manny Villar.

“It is by helping each other during this time that we can start our journey to economic recovery,” he added.

Villar Group is launching VHealthy, its group-wide vaccination program which includes the conduct of massive information campaign through a series of webinars that tackle safety protocols and the importance of getting inoculated, with resource speakers from relevant organizations and other health experts.

“We are committed to inform and to engage our employees on the benefits of the vaccine, and to create a healthy and safe workplace for them and our clients,” said Manuel Paolo Villar, president and CEO of Villar Group’s real estate arm Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc.

The Villar Group is engaged in real estate development, mall, retail, and other key industries in the Philippines.

It currently operates in 49 provinces and 147 cities and municipalities across the country.—AOL, GMA News
