Aboitiz Foundation commended twice
Recognizing its valued contribution and support, the Aboitiz Foundation, the corporate social development arm of the Aboitiz Group, was recently honored by the Manila Science High School and the Department of Social Welfare and Development on two separate occasions. The Aboitiz Foundation was recognized for its support in realizing the Manila Science High School’s vision and mission in providing quality education by supporting students through scholarships and financial assistance during the school’s 53rd founding anniversary, and it was also recognized by the DSWD for its “invaluable contribution in delivering humanitarian assistance and quality social protection programs for the poor” during DSWD-NCR’s 38th anniversary. Both honors were received by Danny Cerence, Aboitiz Foundation AVP-Operations.
The Aboitiz Group has long been supportive of the country’s public education system, believing this is where the Group can make the biggest impact. The Aboitiz Foundation’s most important goal is to achieve universal public education by establishing more Aboitiz BetterWorld schools that promise a better learning environment. It is also an organization of compassionate service, one that can be counted on to provide assistance to those in need as part of its thrust to promote Health & Well-Being for a BetterWorld. It is among the first to respond during disasters while providing access to medical services through the help of Aboitiz business units. In 2015, the Foundation provided essential relief packs to 4,669 families affected by typhoons throughout the year, with 114 team member volunteers nationwide.
