A rice farmer in Pampanga battles the heat to fulfil his mission of producing food amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

BPI Foundation, the social development arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), recently extended assistance to over 50 farmers and 250 of their family members who are greatly affected by the enhanced community quarantine by providing them access to markets for their produce. Together with its program partner RiceUp, an agri-tech social enterprise that empowers farmers through innovation, entrepreneurship, cooperative farming and education, more than 2,000 kilos of fresh produce have been recently sold through online orders from residents in Pampanga as well as bulk purchases from institutional and local government unit buyers.
