BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) participated in the Department of Education’s (DepEd) “Brigada Eskwela” 2023, a nationwide school maintenance program that encourages local governments, communities, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and individuals to help in the public school clean-up before the opening of classes.
BDO joins Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela
A hundred and seventy BDO employees volunteered their time and skills at Commonwealth Elementary School, one of the highly-populated elementary schools in the Philippines. BDO adopted the Jun Simon Building where volunteers painted and cleaned ten classrooms for the incoming 900 grade two students. Others were at the “Gulayan sa Paaralan” for vegetable gardening.
The volunteer activity ended with a ceremonial turn-over of BDO’s school donation of laptops, computer tables, TVs, and projector screens. This was the main kick-off event for BDO’s “Brigada Eskwela” initiatives nationwide.
BDO’s partnership with DepEd is vital to advance the Bank’s sustainability initiatives in the country related to education. Through the recently launched Employee Volunteer Program (EVP), BDO employees from various locations have contributed to a more conducive and vibrant learning environment.
This program empowers employees to become sustainability champions through volunteer work. The EVP also supports sustainability-themed activities that address poverty and hunger, the environment, and financial inclusion.
