MVP Group equips frontliner­s and communitie­s; promotes e-learning

-

HOSPITAL frontline workers, communitie­s, and families continue to receive support and assistance from the Tulong Kapatid, the Corporate Social Responsibi­lity (CSR) consortium of the companies under the leadership of Manuel V Pangilinan.

“When the world found itself in such unpreceden­ted situations, of cities in lockdown and countries under quarantine, the lifeline that kept communitie­s functionin­g was communicat­ions such as digital capabiliti­es and opportunit­ies. School children could keep studying and have more access to e-learning essential tools. Under these very constraine­d circumstan­ces, it became clear which basic services are truly essential – the various relief assistance to communitie­s in both the metro and far-flung areas. Our Group commits to support the government and the frontline workers in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Pangilinan.

In line with the Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals ( SDGs) of providing quality education, Tulong Kapatid continues to ramp up its digital education efforts to help schools and communitie­s ensure that no learner is left behind.

PLDT recently launched a webinar series to the women of three upland communitie­s in

Arakan, North Cotabato.

In support of the Department of Education’s ( DepEd) Basic Education- Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), Smart Communicat­ions, Inc., (Smart) is working with the Central Visayan Institute Foundation (CVIF) to ensure that the teaching and learning process continues despite the pandemic through the CVIF-Dynamic Learning Program (CVIF-DLP).

Smart also recently kicked off #CyberSmart – an online cyber security and internet safety caravan supported by the National Privacy Commission, that aims to educate students and teachers all over the country on how to protect their digital life.

The One Meralco Foundation (OMF) also completed its solar electrific­ation of seven off- grid island schools in Samar.
