It was a long way to Talospatang Elementary School, but for UCPB Savings Bank, every kilometer from Makati City to Malasiqui, Pangasinan was worth it.
The Bank had the opportunity to partner with the Project Development Management of the University of Sto. Tomas’ (UST) Business Economics graduating students (Team Daigdig). The goal of which is to create a project that will reflect a sustainable societal impact to the community. Team Daigdig created Project Sagip Kinabukasan which aimed to refurbish one of the unutilized school rooms and provide the 1,013 students a functional library.
Talospatang Elementary School Principal Dr. Teresita Ermino together with the students of the University of Sto. Tomas award UCPB Savings represented by USB Corplan-MIS Head Mr. Jay Valera, Marketing Officer Christine Vaquilar, and USB Lingayen Branch Head Ms. Imelda Cruz.
Employees from the Head Office, Sta. Ignacia Branch and Lingayen Branch donated useful books; and with the help of Asian Lexcon School, Camiling, Tarlac, almost 1,000 books were donated. The school Principal expressed her gratitude to the united effort of Team Daigdig, UCPB Savings Bank and other sponsors during the turnover ceremony on April 17, 2019 at Talospatang Elementary School. The Library can help increase the proficiency level of the students, with the hopes of helping not only the existing students of the school, but also the forthcoming generations to enter the institution.
A short lecture on Financial Wellness was also conducted; attended by students, parents and teachers.
