FBM donates 5 essential kits to Jeepney drivers in the Philippines.

FBM donated 5 essential kits to Jeepney drivers in Pasay, Paranaque, Manila, and Quezon City. This initiative was coordinated in conjunction with PAGCOR – Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation – and involved all four cities. Each kit contains essential food and health products, and this action will impact thousands of families affected by the pandemic.

The Philippines has a Jeepney driver community of over 500 professionals, but only a small percentage of this group has been authorized to operate currently due to restrictions and the effects of Covid-19. As a consequence, thousands of families are facing financial difficulties, and therefore FBM contacted PAGCOR to take concrete measures regarding this situation.

Rui Francisco, founder of FBM, explains the purpose of this donation: “Jeepneys are one of the symbols of Philippine culture and economy. After understanding the scale of this social problem, we decided to help the drivers' families with a gesture that can have a real impact on their daily lives,” stated Rui Manuel Mendes Francisco.

“The Philippines has played an important role in our growth and is one of the key markets responsible for our establishment as a leading global gaming brand, so this is our gesture of gratitude to give back to the people who are deeply connected to FBM,” said the founder of FBM.

The 5 essential kits were prepared by PAGCOR members and distributed by a team composed of PAGCOR volunteers and some FBM team members. Each bag contains various food products as well as health supplies (masks and hand sanitizer) to help these families meet their daily and basic needs.

FBM is a global gaming brand that has conquered the traditional casino market since 2001. With established operations in Asia, North America, and Europe, the brand holds the leading position in the video bingo market and is committed to reinventing the slots segment. (With Soloazar )
