Dengan komitmen yang kuat untuk memajukan bisnis dan masyarakat, Pilmico Foods Corporation, melalui tim Tanggung Jawab Sosial Perusahaan (CSR) dan Aboitiz Foundation Inc, menjangkau keluarga-keluarga yang terkena dampak parah akibat tumpahan minyak baru-baru ini di Kotamadya Pola, Mindoro Oriental. 

Tumpahan minyak besar-besaran dari kapal yang tenggelam di Oriental Mindoro mengakibatkan larangan penangkapan ikan, sehingga mengganggu mata pencaharian penduduk di daerah pesisir di mana penangkapan ikan merupakan sumber pendapatan utama.

Pilmico dan AFI memberikan paket makanan kepada 200 nelayan dari Barangay Buhay na Tubig dan Barangat Bacawan pada tanggal 11 April 2023. Anggota tim penjualan Feeds Pilmico dan para sukarelawan mendistribusikan paket bantuan kepada penduduk kedua barangay tersebut.

Seorang warga dari Kotamadya Pola menyampaikan rasa terima kasihnya kepada organisasi tersebut atas bantuan mereka, "Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Yayasan Aboitiz atas bantuannya, "Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Barangay Buhay di Tubig atas bantuannya kepada Yayasan Aboitiz. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah membantu dalam membersihkan tumpahan minyak di Barangay Buhay, Tubig, dan sekitarnya."

How did the community receive the assistance?
