The Lucio Tan (LT) Group’s Tanduay Distillers, Inc., together with Absolut Distillers Inc. (ADI), has started the production of ethyl alcohol, which is now being distributed to the Department of Health (DOH) and other hospitals to help address the alcohol shortage among medical facilities.
“The health of our frontliners are essential in our fight against the spread of COVID-19. Tanduay has some of the most modern and the best distilleries in the country. Producing alcohol for disinfection is one way we are doing our part in helping keep our communities safe,” says ADI chief operating officer and general manager for distillery operation of the LT Group Gerry Tee.
Tanduay, as part of the LT Group, donated the first batch of 5,000 4-liter bottles to the DOH and gave another 5,000 bottles to other non-government organizations for distribution in medical facilities.
“During these challenging times, it’s important that we step up and help each other. We have transformed our distilleries to produce ethyl alcohol to supply the needs of our kababayans [fellow citizens]. From Luzon, we aim to deliver next to Visayas and Mindanao,” shares Tee.
