Advocating for accessible and sustainable quality education in the country, J&T Express Philippines participated in the annual Brigada Eskwela campaign of the Department of Education (DepEd) across multiple regions, namely Region IV-A (CALABARZON), Region V (Bicol), Region VII (Central Visayas), Region VIII (Eastern Visayas), and Region XI (Davao).
In Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, J&T Express Philippines launched the nationwide initiative by donating 100 school supplies and 60 set meals to the students of Buaya Elementary School. At the same time, in partnership with 93.1 FM Radio Cebu, they initiated the repainting of Barrio Luz Elementary School facilities in Cebu City, while providing free haircut services for 100 students.
Beyond academic support, J&T Express prioritizes the health and safety of students as a fundamental component of holistic learning. At Anislag National High School in Daraga, Albay, they distributed first aid kits and face masks to 50 classrooms in collaboration with the Bicol Regional Hospital and Medical Center and the Emergency Health Unit of Daraga.
On the other hand, in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region XI-Bunawan Office, they initiated the distribution of school supplies to 140 students from F. Bustamante Central Elementary School in Davao City. Likewise, 500 students across four schools in Tacloban City, Leyte, namely the Panalaron Central School, Kapangian Central School, City Central School, and Jaro Elementary School, received essential learning materials from J&T Express and its media partner, K5 News FM Tacloban 103.1.
Capping off this year’s Brigada Eskwela, J&T Express Philippines donated cement and paint to support the rehabilitation of the Paliparan Elementary School facilities in Dasmariñas City, Cavite. In addition to external partnership activities, J&T’s employees organized a book donation drive to provide students with reading materials and educational resources.
In choosing to support Brigada Eskwela initiatives annually, J&T Express Philippines believes that the holistic education of young Filipino learners and the conducive facilities around them are essential to their personal growth and development. The company underscores its duty to empower the students of today to build a brighter tomorrow, marking its immense privilege to give back to the very communities that sustain them.
Through this year’s Brigada Eskwela in partnership with the local and national DepEd units, J&T Express Philippines recognizes the pivotal role of quality education in shaping a better nation. In uplifting its everlasting commitment towards service and responsibility, J&T Express strives to continue delivering excellence to its employees, customers, and communities.
