BPI-Philam presents P3.4M and gadget donations to Philam Foundation
BPI-Philam
Life Assurance Corp. (BPLAC), the leading bancassurance company in the country[1], recently presented a cash
donation worth P3.4 million and handed over 200 iPads to Philam Foundation, the
corporate social responsibility arm of the Philam Group.
“We
at BPI-Philam, in partnership with Philam Foundation, are passionate about empowering
Filipinos by bringing quality education, financial literacy, and healthcare to
underprivileged youth and other communities in need across the country. This
donation reinforces our commitment to this advocacy and reflects our support to
Philam Foundation and all of its programs,” said Surendra Menon, BPLAC CEO and
Philam Foundation Executive Director.
The
cash donation is expected to reach marginalized sectors and the common Filipino
through Philam Foundation’s three main programs—Philam Paaralan, Philam SAVES,
and ALPHA (Alliance for the Philippines’ Health and Advocacy) with initiatives
involving quality education, financial literacy, and hospital-based health
programs.
The 200
iPads, together with 18 desktop computers from Philam Life, meanwhile, were donated
by Philam Foundation to Sandiwaan Center for Learning (SCL), a technology-based
learning center that provides education to out-of-school youth. SCL equips its
students with technopreneurial knowledge and skills, from basic computer
literacy to robotics through alternative teaching and learning methodologies.
Philam
Foundation, funded by Philam Group’s annual institutionalized donation, promotes
“healthy, wealthy, wise” initiatives in its nationwide enabled campaigns that
mainly focus its assistance in the areas of health, education, arts and culture,
and livelihood (HEAL) development of Filipino Families.
Alongside
BPLAC’s independently conducted outreach programs, the bancassurance company
and its employees had volunteered their time and funds over the years to
support Philam Foundation in contribution to the social and economic
development of the country. BPLAC will continue to support Philam Foundation
and all its humanitarian initiatives for underprivileged Filipinos and
communities in need.
