MAGING MAGITING DRIVE LAUNCHED
Bounty Agro Ventures Inc. (Bavi) and Ayala Foundation Inc. distributed 450 Philippine national flags
Bounty Agro Ventures Inc. (Bavi), operator of the country's largest rotisserie chicken chain, Chooks-to-Go, and Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI) continue to promote giving due respect and appreciation for the Philippine flag among young students through their Maging Magiting flag campaign.
In Davao City, Bavi president and general manager Ronald Mascariñas, together with AFI president Ruel Maranan and regional officials of the Department of Education and National Historical Commission of the Philippines, distributed 450 national flags during turnover ceremonies at the Davao City National High School.
Among those who received the NHCP-approved 6'x3' flags were principals and administration heads of public elementary and junior high schools in Davao City.
The Maging Magiting flag campaign aims to rekindle Filipino pride, foster love of country, and celebrate the lives of everyday Filipino heroes.
“As a campaign partner, we hope to instill nationalism far and wide and right at the start of the Filipino's formative years: in elementary school. By giving flags to public schools, even in remote areas, we inspire Filipinos to love their country by becoming and doing their best in their daily lives, and in the case of students, in their studies and family life,” said Mascariñas.
Bavi has provided funding support to enable AFI, with the help of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, to distribute over 3,000 flag kits nationwide.
Prior to the Mindanao leg, the company has already distributed 2,769 flag kits in the Luzon and Visayas regions./
