No less than the Chairman of MVP Group of Companies, Manuel “Manny” V. Pangilinan, posted via Twitter the donation of rescue boats, trucks, and a utility chopper to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
The donation of the Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm BO105 multi-purpose twin-engine helicopter (civilian version) was made by the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation Foundation to the Aviation “Hiraya” Regiment of the Philippine Army at Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City yesterday, 07 January 2021.
Last December 2019, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte threatened to scrap the concessions agreement of MVP Group’s Maynilad and Ayala’s Manila Water after the private firm’s win in an arbitration case versus the government.
