Guided with its theme: “Tugon sa Hamon ng Ligtas na Balik-Aral”, the annual and week-long activity Brigada Eskwela 2022 was formally initiated by DepEd which ran until August 26, 2022 to make schools nationwide environmentally sustainable and conducive to learning.
The Brigada Eskwela successfully helps in constructing creative ways of improving the school facilities while highlighting Bayanihan. It makes people embrace the spirit of volunteering. Even amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, the program underscores the importance of cooperation between the academe and the community.
Mactanbank, in its part, continues to be one with the community in helping the Department of Education in providing quality, accessible, relevant and safe basic education for all Filipino learners. Mactanbank handed out educational equipment such as smart TVs, wall fans, and school chairs, mobilized volunteers to participate in repairs of school gate and pathways, and constructed waste material facility and handwashing facilities in 14 different schools.
