Pada tanggal 29 Juli 2024, sekolah-sekolah negeri di Filipina secara resmi membuka pintunya bagi para siswa untuk tahun ajaran 2024-2025. Untuk membantu menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang lebih kondusif bagi para siswa, Aboitiz Foods, melalui anak perusahaannya di Pilmico, berpartisipasi dalam "Brigada Eskwela" tahun ini.
Tema tahun ini, "Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan," menggarisbawahi pentingnya kesukarelaan dan kerja sama masyarakat atau bayanihan dalam menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih baik dan lebih aman bagi para siswa sekolah umum.
Dan itulah yang dilakukan Aboitiz Foods di berbagai penjuru negeri.
Di Kota Iligan, Aboitiz Foods menjangkau Sekolah Memorial Primitivo R. Quimpo, yang menghadapi beberapa tantangan karena lokasinya yang terpencil dan sumber daya yang terbatas.
Lebih dari seratus siswa berjuang dengan kurangnya peralatan untuk mata pelajaran Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) mereka, yang sangat penting bagi siswa dan pendidik untuk meningkatkan pengalaman pendidikan mereka dan berkembang di dunia digital saat ini.
Menyadari kebutuhan mendesak sekolah akan sumber daya TIK, Aboitiz Foods menyumbangkan lima komputer desktop pada 12 Juli 2024 lalu.
"Atas nama Primitivo R. Quimpo Memorial School, saya berterima kasih kepada para sukarelawan ABOITIZ dan PILMICO atas sumbangan lima komputer desktop yang murah hati. Kontribusi ini sangat meningkatkan kemampuan TIK kami, memberdayakan para guru dan siswa kami di era digital saat ini. Dukungan Anda memastikan pendidikan terus berkembang meskipun menghadapi berbagai tantangan. Terima kasih telah memberikan dampak yang berkelanjutan," ujar Mae Flor O. Quintana, Pejabat Sekolah yang Ditunjuk di Primitivo R. Quimpo Memorial School.
Selain komputer desktop, lebih dari 70 sukarelawan dari Aboitiz Foods, termasuk personel keamanan dan pekerja magang, guru, dan anggota militer Filipina, mendukung inisiatif ini.
Mereka mengecat ulang dinding kelas dan membersihkan halaman sekolah.
Sementara itu, anggota tim Aboitiz Foods juga membantu mengecat fasilitas sekolah di Sekolah Dasar Gumain, Sekolah Terpadu Bueno, dan Sekolah Dasar Buted, yang masing-masing terletak di Bamban dan Capas, Tarlac, dan Talugtug, Nueva Ecija.
Selain berkontribusi dalam renovasi sekolah, mereka juga mendistribusikan peralatan tambahan, tas sekolah, dan perlengkapan untuk membantu proses belajar mengajar para siswa di tahun ajaran ini.
Anggota tim Aboitiz Foods, bersama dengan keluarga mereka, berpartisipasi dalam Brigada Eskwela setiap tahunnya. Engr. Michael Cayabyab, Manajer Teknik Operasi Pakan Ternak Aboitiz Foods, berbagi pengalamannya "Saya selalu membawa anak saya ke Brigada Eskwela setiap tahun.
Ini bukan hanya tentang kerja fisik; ini tentang mengajarinya rasa syukur. Saya ingin dia mengerti bahwa sekolah kami lebih dari sekadar bangunan-sekolah kami adalah jantung dari komunitas kami. Dengan berpartisipasi, kami menunjukkan penghargaan kami atas pendidikan yang kami terima. Saya ingin dia tahu bahwa tindakan pelayanan yang kecil sekalipun dapat membuat perbedaan besar."
Aboitiz Foods berkomitmen untuk menyehatkan masa depan para siswa dengan berpartisipasi dalam Brigada Eskwela Departemen Pendidikan tahun ini.
Dengan membantu menciptakan lingkungan yang lebih baik, lebih bersih, dan lebih aman untuk sekolah, kami meningkatkan pengalaman belajar siswa.
Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
What feedback did school leadership give about the impact of Aboitiz Foods’ contributions?
The Designated School Officer of Primitivo R. Quimpo Memorial School expressed deep gratitude, stating that the donation of five desktop computers greatly enhances the school’s ICT capabilities and empowers both teachers and students in today’s digital age. The acknowledgment emphasized that support from companies like Aboitiz Foods ensures education thrives despite the challenges faced by schools in remote and underserved communities.
What specific challenge was facing Primitivo R. Quimpo Memorial School in Iligan City, and how did Aboitiz Foods respond?
The school, situated in a remote location with limited resources, had over 100 students who lacked equipment for their ICT subjects – an increasingly essential component of modern education. Aboitiz Foods addressed this by donating five desktop computers on July 12, 2024, and mobilizing over 70 volunteers from the company, including security personnel, interns, teachers, and Philippine Army members, to repaint classrooms and clean school grounds.
Which schools in Tarlac and Nueva Ecija benefited from Aboitiz Foods’ Brigada Eskwela participation?
In Tarlac and Nueva Ecija, the activities covered Gumain Primary School and Bueno Integrated School in Bamban and Capas, Tarlac respectively, as well as Buted Elementary School in Talugtug, Nueva Ecija. Volunteer teams painted school facilities, distributed school bags and supplies, and contributed to general renovation work across these schools.
What was the 2024 Brigada Eskwela theme, and how did Aboitiz Foods’ participation reflect it?
The theme was “Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan” – roughly, Community Action for Resilient Schools. Aboitiz Foods embodied this theme through multi-location volunteer deployment across Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, and Iligan, with over 120 team members participating alongside their families – demonstrating that community cooperation in education is a value the company practices, not just promotes.
How does Aboitiz Foods’ Brigada Eskwela participation extend beyond a single day of volunteering?
The donations – particularly the desktop computers for Primitivo R. Quimpo Memorial School – create lasting improvements to the schools’ educational capacity that outlast the activity itself. Volunteers who bring family members, such as Engr. Michael Cayabyab who annually brings his son, also model intergenerational civic participation, embedding service and community responsibility as ongoing values rather than one-time gestures.
