City Savings joins Brigada Eskwela
TO advance business and communities, City Savings Bank’s 106 branches nationwide heeded the call of the Department of Education (Deped) to support this year’s Brigada Eskwela initiatives last May 28 to June 2.
Some 800 employee volunteers visited a total of 277 beneficiary public schools located across the country to turn over donations, clean, repair and repaint school facilities in time for the new academic year.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones together with other DepEd officials attended the national kick-off last May 29 at New Society National High School, General Santos City.
“To all of us in DepEd, we have to continue doing everything to strengthen and to further improve Brigada Eskwela. It is an opportunity for us to be together and to be united for our learners. There are many challenges that we face and Deped is aware of these. We call on the general public to support our initiatives and advocacies” she said.
In Mindanao, CitySavings branches from Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao, Soccsksargen, and Caraga regions helped create a better learning environment to 36 public schools.
“Guided by this year’s theme, 'Pagkakaisa para sa handa, ligtas at matatag na paaralan tungo sa magandang kinabukasan', we at CitySavings consider this an opportunity for our employees to take part in nation building. We look forward to more collaboration and partnership with DepEd” CitySavings Reputation Management Head Paula Ruelan said.
