Tarayao said the continued partnership allows MGEN and OMF to deliver programs that respond to community needs, saying: “We are deeply grateful for our partnership with MGEN, which has given us the privilege of creating meaningful, lasting change across its host communities since 2023. Together, we have strengthened local healthcare, restored forests, and unlocked youth potential through scholarships. Partnerships like this champion empowerment and help communities thrive.”
Through the continued partnership, MGEN continues to power a better tomorrow throughout the year across host communities in Luzon and Visayas – by supporting programs in education, health, environmental protection, disaster response, and community development.
