PH firms unite for Brigada Eskwela ‘12

E-mail Print PDF

The spirit of voluntarism and bayanihan are very much alive in this year’s National Schools Maintenance Week, widely known as Brigada Eskwela.

All over the country, students, teachers, parents, and volunteers are all geared up to prepare and repair classrooms and other facilities in public schools for the opening of classes on June 4.

In sync with this national activity, the corporate-led Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) has started to mobilized its member companies ranging from small to large businesses to take heed of the call to support Brigada Eskwela ‘12.

Bound by blood, backed by purpose

How a mother and son shared the same path of voluntarism

 

If bonding moments typically happen in restos, malls, parks, salons, Ana Ylio and her son  Michael spend their special time together doing volunteer work for the kids in the dumpsite.

Ana, a typical housewife and a mother of three, starts her day preparing food for her family and attending to household chores. Aside from that, she wears her other hat as president of the community’s association— checking on the neighborhood’s concerns and supervising the team’s action plans.
