This community-centered program, Pusong Panalo, has brought essential improvements to Laiban Elementary, promoting sustainable learning and educational growth. Through the installation of solar panels, the school now benefits from a reliable and eco-friendly energy source, easing access to electricity for students and faculty alike. This sustainable energy solution ensures a conducive environment where learning can flourish, even in remote locations.
Beyond providing solar energy, Pusong Panalo has revitalized the school’s environment by constructing a playground and upgrading the canteen facilities. These enhancements foster a more holistic learning experience for students, combining education with play in a safe and enjoyable space.

This initiative answers the growing need for technology in education, enabling teachers to enhance their instructional capabilities. Grocery packs were also provided to families of students and staff, recognizing the importance of community well-being in fostering a positive learning atmosphere.
“Puregold believes that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives,” said Ferdinand Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “It is a privilege to partner with these communities and help give tools that students and teachers need to thrive,” he added.
Located in the remote mountainous areas of Tanay, Laiban Elementary School has historically faced resource limitations. Puregold Rural Schools aims to tackle these challenges, making quality education more accessible. By providing vital resources and infrastructure, Puregold fosters an environment where education can thrive, even in isolated regions.
Bridging the Urban-Rural Divide with Pusong Panalo
The Pusong Panalo initiative actively bridges the resource gap between urban and rural educational facilities. Through consistent efforts, Puregold supports infrastructure, technological advancement, and distribution of essential goods, underscoring its steadfast dedication to creating lasting positive impacts. This year, Puregold pledges to aid four additional schools, bringing it closer to its goal of supporting 30 schools by 2028.
In a unique form of community empowerment, Laiban Elementary School has nominated another school in Tanay to receive similar support. This nomination is a testament to the Filipino Bayanihan spirit, a cultural value that celebrates unity and mutual support.
