Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South),
a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation
(MPTC), stands in solidarity with the nation during
the annual Brigada Eskwela, as public schools
prepare to resume classes
this month.
Recognizing the
importance of ensuring
clean and functional classrooms and facilities, MPT
South has taken an active
role in supporting public schools along its Manila-Cavite Expressway
(CAVITEX) and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) alignment. This year,
the toll road operator has
contributed to the revitalization of learning spaces.
Notably, volunteer employees of MPT South engaged in the cleaning and
painting of classrooms and
hallways at Gahak-Marulas Elementary School in
Kawit, Cavite; Tibig Elementary School in Silang,
Cavite; and Cecilio M. Saliba Elementary School in
General Trias, Cavite.
Beyond this, the
toll road operator has also
extended its assistance
through donations of essential school supplies
such as bag packs, notebooks, pencils, crayons,
pad papers, and materials
for painting and cleaning.
MPT South also reached
out to other institutions,
including Col. E. De Leon
Elementary School and
Southville Elementary
School in Paranaque, as
well as Longos Elementary School in Bacoor, to
offer assistance in enhancing the learning experience for students.
“MPT South reaffirms its commitment to the
local communities and the
welfare of students. These
initiatives are a testament
to MPT South’s dedication
to providing quality education and fostering a conducive learning environment
for the youth,” stated Ms.
Arlette Capistrano, Vice
President for Communication and Stakeholder Management.
Earlier this
month, the Department of
Education (DepEd) inaugurated the 2023 Brigada
Eskwela, or Schools Maintenance Week, under the
banner of “Bayanihan Para
sa Matatag na Paaralan,”.
This year’s Brigada Eskwela highlights the nation’s collective volunteer
efforts to guarantee a
clean, secure, inclusive,
and child-friendly learning
atmosphere for both students and education professionals. It also aims to
enhance the resilience of
schools and basic education, ensuring that public
schools are fully prepared
for the commencement of
classes on August 29th.
