“We are really a booming economic zone. We have been earning sufficiently and our task is to help locators succeed with their business but at the same time we really want to share the responsibility of being part of the growth of our communities,” Officer-in-Charge (OIC) for the Office of the President Engr. Mariza O. Mandocdoc said during the awarding of donations.

During the activity, Mandocdoc also highlighted the importance of education through her inspiring message.

“This project has been going on for several years. It started in 2012 but it has scaled up under the program of our CSR group. And this is something very close to our hearts because in CDC, we really believe in being part of the growth of the community,” she said.

She also added on a personal note that she has always been fond of programs related to education like that of Brigada Eskwela and the CDC Excellence Award.

“I always am a believer in changing lives because of education,” Mandocdoc said.

Brigada Eskwela is a joint project of CDC and its partner locators held annually since 2012.

It aims to mobilize parents, alumni, non-government organizations, teachers, students, and other individuals to volunteer their time and skills to do repairs, maintenance work, and clean-up of public elementary and secondary schools.
