Aboitiz Construction was honored as one of the “Outstanding Stakeholders” by the Department of Education (DepEd) Division of Tarlac City during an awarding ceremony held on December 10, 2024, at the division’s office in Brgy. Binauganan, Tarlac City.
The recognition celebrates the company’s significant contributions to education through meaningful partnerships that advance learning in various communities. This award underscores Aboitiz Construction’s steadfast support for DepEd’s MATATAG agenda in Tarlac City, particularly its active involvement in Brigada Eskwela initiatives at select public elementary schools, including Lourdes Elementary School, Don Pepe Cojuanco Homes Elementary School, Balete Elementary School, and Cutcut II Elementary School and its contributions to raising environmental awareness among students.
Reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability, Aboitiz Construction, in collaboration with Aboitiz Foundation, Inc., handed over two eco-stations to Lourdes Elementary School in Tarlac City last October 25, 2024. As part of this initiative, Grades 5 and 6 students participated in a waste sorting and plastic reduction session on October 30. Additionally, the school received ICT equipment to support the students’ digital advocacy for eco-awareness and environmental stewardship.
“To our dear stakeholders, you are not just helping improve the school, but you are also helping many children have a better future. For that, we are deeply grateful to all of you,” said Dr. Ma. Irelyn Tamayo, Schools Division Superintendent of Tarlac City.
“This recognition reflects our commitment to building a better future not just for businesses but for the communities we serve. By partnering with DepEd and contributing to initiatives like Brigada Eskwela and raising environmental awareness, we strive to provide students with the tools and opportunities they need to excel academically and in life,” said Karmine Andrea Ching, Aboitiz Construction’s Senior AVP for Business Transformation.
The acknowledgment highlights Aboitiz Construction’s dedication to implementing corporate citizenship programs and advancing education in many communities where its project sites are located.
