NGCP Gives Back to the Community with 500 Backpacks for Malolos Learners
MALOLOS CITY, Bulacan – The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) recently extended its educational support program to young learners in Malolos City, Bulacan, by donating 500 sets of school backpacks to two local elementary schools. The initiative, part of NGCP's "Gamit ni Bulilit" program, aims to assist students from host communities in preparing for the new school year.
A total of 500 backpacks, filled with essential school supplies, were distributed to students in Grades 1 and 2 from Pinagbakahan Elementary School and Santisima Trinidad Elementary School. The distribution saw 226 backpacks allocated to Pinagbakahan Elementary School and 274 backpacks to Santisima Trinidad Elementary School.
NGCP’s "Gamit ni Bulilit" program is a long-running corporate social responsibility project that provides school supplies to children in the lower grade levels of public schools located in areas where NGCP has transmission facilities. The program is designed to motivate and support young students during their formative years, helping to ease the financial burden on their families and encourage them to stay in school.
In addition to the school supplies, the program also incorporates age-appropriate lectures on transmission line safety and the importance of protecting NGCP facilities. This two-fold approach not only aids in the education of young learners but also fosters a sense of community responsibility for the country's power grid.
The donation was warmly received by the school administrators, teachers, parents, and most importantly, the students. The school heads expressed their gratitude to NGCP for its continued commitment to education and for the valuable support it provides to the community. NGCP's donation is viewed as a significant contribution to the well-being and academic success of future generations in Malolos City.
