Philippines: FBM Foundation donates to Laguna, Cavite schools to boost digital educational progress

Under the Building a Champion by a Champion: Shaping Digital Leaders Tomorrow campaign, a team of FBM Foundation dedicated volunteers made donations to Mabato National High School in Calamba, Laguna, and Dr. Jose P. Rizal Senior High School in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

The two gestures executed by FBM Foundation in May prove once again the project’s commitment to "nurturing future digital leaders and empowering communities through education," according to the Foundation.

The donation to Mabato National High School included 15 computer sets, tables, chairs, and 300 FBM Foundation backpacks. FBM Foundation conducted a turnover ceremony at Mabato National High School, on 17 May, attended by Pepe Costa, FBM’s Country Manager for the Philippines, and six volunteers. The ceremony highlighted the contributions of Gareth Prondoza, the School Head, and the teaching and non-teaching staff for their coordination.

In Dr. Jose P. Rizal Senior High School, FBM Foundation donated 35 computer sets, tables, chairs, 2 split-type air conditioners, and 800 FBM Foundation backpacks. This second social effort had a final turnover ceremony at Dr. Jose P. Rizal Senior High School. Renato Almeida, Director at FBM, Pepe Costa, and Alex Studart, Head Operation Manager at MEMO, attended the ceremony together with 15 volunteers. 

During the event, special acknowledgments were given to Maria Lalaine M. Barrameda, Assistant School Principal II, Sandy U. Mera, ASP Coordinator, Robert John Dela Cruz, and the teaching and non-teaching staff for their invaluable contributions.

Alongside the computer donations, FBM Foundation facilitated the renovation of the computer laboratory and faculty room at Mabato National High School and at Dr. Jose P. Rizal Senior High School. These renovations were supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who worked to make the learning spaces safer and more comfortable, promoting development and the welfare of the school community.

Through education, the corporate social responsibility project of the FBM Group uplifts communities, drives innovation, and nurtures future leaders. The Foundation’s initiatives and partnerships are designed to catalyze positive change, inspiring students to achieve their dreams. 

In total, 27 volunteers participated in the renovation and turnover ceremonies, showcasing the collective effort and dedication toward making this project a success.
