CLARK FREEPORT — Some 48 schools from various communities near this Freeport recently benefitted from the Brigada Eskwela 2019, a joint project of Clark Development Corporation (CDC) with its various locators here.
During the activity, CDC President and CEO Noel F. Manankil said that the project will allow the state-owned firm to create more pertinent Corporate Social Responsibility programs with the support and effort of its locators in Clark.
“This is the start of a joint project of CDC with Clark locators for a more relevant CSR,” Manankil mentioned.
Manankil also said that while CDC has been active in bringing in further CSR related programs, they are now leaning towards a more strategic and developmental approach in terms of crafting their projects.
“We are willing to explore and encourage more strategic and developmental CSR projects,” he said.
Different materials that will help in the maintenance and beautification of school facilities and premises were distributed to selected schools from Bamban and Capas, Tarlac ; Porac, Lubao and San Fernando, Pampaga; Mabalacat City and Angeles City.
The said materials include paints, cement, ventilation materials, health and hygiene materials, first aid kits as well as school supplies among others. Cash assistance were also donated by Clark locators to selected schools.
Meanwhile, Department of Education (DepEd) Region 3 Division Superintendent Leilani Cunanan thanked CDC for its continuous support on their educational projects and programs for the students.
“Sa ngalan po ng DepEd Angeles City, malugod po naming ipinapaabot ang aming pasasalamat sa mga iba’t-ibang tulong na ibinibigay nyo po sa ating mga paaralan,” Cunanan said.
