As part of its global campaign to spread advocacy for cleaner and fresher air for life, Panasonic recently reached out to the local government of Makati City through a contribution in the form of nanoeTM air purifiers, and nanoeTM X generators, that have been verified to have inhibitory effects on the novel coronavirus. The equipment set-up and turnover were done at the main vaccination site of the city located at the Makati Coliseum.
No less than Panasonic Air-Conditioning Philippines CEO Masaru Toyota, Panasonic Life Solutions Group Country Head Yosuke Tanaka, Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay, and the Makati City Incident Command Post Head Dr. Roland Unson, were present during the site visit.
It has always been the intention of Panasonic to provide cleaner and fresher air to improve the quality of life for everyone with the introduction of the nanoeTM in 1997 and nanoeTM X in 2016.
In 2009, with the help of an independent testing organization, Panasonic verified the effect of hydroxyl radicals contained in water against bird flu and new strains of influenza, and in 2012, in collaboration with an independent testing organization in Germany, again conducted virus clearance testing that showed the effectiveness of the technology against highly resistant viruses and unknown viruses.
Just last year, again using an independent testing organization, Texcell – France, further verified the inhibitory effect of Panasonic’s patented nanoeTM X technology on the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The Makati City partnership is part of a bigger program of Panasonic in the Philippines to provide air purifying and anti-covid technology of nanoeTM X in selected sites in the National Capital Region to protect medical front liners and Filipinos in vaccination areas and to make them and the public feel safer with the theme “Bring Back the Filipino Smile.”
Panasonic works hard to bring back the smiles of the unsung heroes of this pandemic, and the Filipino people, for them to feel safer, breathe easier and be more secure to smile once again.
