McDonald’s, Ronald McDonald House Charities Philippines open 2nd Bahay Bulilit in Davao City

SUPPORTING Davao City’s mission to develop more child-friendly communities, McDonald’s Philippines through Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philippines, Inc. (RMHC) opened a new Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Center in Davao City, Philippines last March 1.

This is the second Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Center in Davao City with the first located in Brgy. Mintal which opened in 2018. In this new Bahay Bulilit in Brgy. Buhangin, 65 children from the community are able to find a safe space where they could learn and play.

“We have seen how our first learning center has made an impact to young

Davaoeño children as they were able to get a head start in preparing for their formal schooling. As we open a new learning center in Brgy. Buhangin, we are committed to continuously promote early childhood development to more Filipino children with every Bahay Bulilit,” said Marie Angeles, RMHC executive director.

In the facilitation of early childhood development in preparation for formal schooling, day care teachers assigned by the LGU and community volunteers spend the day to engage children in educational activities. Aiding this is that every Bahay Bulilit Learning Center is equipped with a Ronald McDonald Read to Learn kit which includes 34 big illustrated books for storytelling.
