Rustan’s Senior Vice President for Planning and Development Michael T. Huang represented the Rustan Group of Companies (RGOC) in formalizing its donation of 2,100 AstraZeneca vaccines to San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora.
Proposed and spearheaded by Huang, the project extended available and unused vaccines to a local government unit so it could ramp up vaccination roll-out to its constituents. Having chosen San Juan as its beneficiary, RGOC coordinated with City Health Officer Dr. Mitzi Tanchoco. The presentation and acceptance of proposal by the office of the City Mayor were completed before the actual transfer of the vaccines.
During the turnover, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora received the doses of AstraZeneca donated by RGOC, which includes Rustan Coffee Corporation (Starbucks), Adora/TGI (Travel with the Grooves, Inc, RDFS/RWRI (Royal Duty-Free Shop), and Rustan Commercial Corporation.
