MANILA, Philippines – The ABS-CBN Foundation and AirAsia Philippines have joined forces to support the Foundation in its programs of championing children’s welfare, environmental stewardship, disaster relief and rehabilitation, and community empowerment.
The partnership dubbed as “AlwaysRedy: Pilipino para sa Pilipino” is in alignment with the Foundation’s latest campaign, Pilipino Para sa Pilipino, which aims to aid Filipino families through its various programs.

Part of AirAsia Philippines support in this partnership are free seats for the Foundation’s on-the-ground team and first responders and its beneficiaries, allocated cargo space and AirAsia Philippines’ Allstars Peer Support, and 1st airlift wing reserve unit as supplementary manpower during disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts.
“We are glad to have a partner that is on the same page as us on promoting corporate citizenship and cooperative nation-building. Trust that our collaboration will propel our missions and initiatives further to the benefit of our Kababayans,” AirAsia CEO Ricky Isla said.
