Puregold will continue to fulfill its commitment to elevating education, promoting sustainable development, and empowering rural communities this 2025 through its Pusong Panalo Program.
Following the success of its 2024 initiatives, which included school infrastructure improvements, community Christmas festivities, and support for typhoon victims, Puregold is set to broaden the reach of its acclaimed Pusong Panalo CSR program. By 2028, the program aims to benefit 30 more schools. Planned initiatives include classroom renovations, essential goods distributions, solar panel installation, and technology donations.
The Pusong Panalo program employs a community-centered approach to giving back with the end goal of uplifting the lives of Filipinos. Under this program, Puregold helps bridge the gap between urban and rural communities by offering much-needed aid to areas that are often overlooked.
In 2024, Puregold installed solar panels to provide a sustainable and reliable energy source at Laiban Elementary School in Tanay, Rizal. The school also received a new playground and replenished the canteen. The company also donated new laptops to the school’s teachers.
Further, the multi-channel retailer extended assistance to another set of schools in Rizal: Magata-Manggahan School, Nayon Elementary School, and Talim Elementary in the form of solar installation, playground, school supplies, canteen supplies, and hygiene kits.
“Education is the key to a better life for many children. Puregold is happy to help provide better tools and facilities so Filipino students can help achieve their dreams. We are expanding the scope of the program to include more schools as part of our long-term vision,” said Ferdinand Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc.
Just a few days before Christmas, Puregold returned to Laiban Elementary School to spread holiday cheer to the students, teachers, and families. Puregold President Ferdinand Vincent Co, led the gift-giving and provided the food, entertainment, and games for the delegations from Laiban and the Magata-Manggahan school.
As part of the Pusong Panalo program, Puregold, together with Monde Nissin and Angat Buhay Foundation, also assisted nearly 200 Tindahan ni Aling Puring (TNAP) members who were affected by Typhoon Kristine in Naga, Camarines Sur.
Puregold conducted a “salo-salo” for TNAP members, which featured games, food and drinks, raffles, and activity booths that offered additional prizes. Members with start-up businesses were surprised by Puregold with negosyo packages each worth at least Php5,000. During the event’s raffle, 10 winners received Php15,000 additional Monde Nissin products for their stores and another five TNAP members were given Php75,000 for store renovations.
Puregold will always be committed to Pusong Panalo and its mission of enhancing lives and fostering development in rural and last mile areas through inclusive growth and sustainable development,” added Vincent.
