Carrying the Filipino spirit of Bayanihan, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) continues to show full support to the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Brigada Eskwela Program. As part of the company’s sustainability commitments and in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, PCPPI has been extending support to local schools and communities since 2014.
“PCPPI values education and acknowledges the vital role that the youth play in nation-building. This is why we continuously support Brigada Eskwela as it brings communities together to build an environment conducive for learning.” ~Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPI Chief Environmental, Social and Governance Officer
Established in 2003, Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide school maintenance program that encourages participation from teachers, volunteers, private organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that school facilities are all set for the new academic year.
Aptly themed, “Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan”, this year’s program pushes closer collaboration between communities and private organizations to strengthen the country’s educational system and institutions.
Over 200 PCPPI volunteers from 15 locations across the country volunteered their time and energy for this good cause.
PCPPI partnered with 19 public schools this year and donated school supplies, health and safety tools, items for cleaning, construction and repair materials, and refreshments. Aside from these donations, PCPPI employees also led community projects such as conducting waste management learning sessions, cleaning classrooms and school grounds, repairing school facilities, and clearing vegetable and ornamental gardens.
As the exclusive manufacturer of well-known PepsiCo beverages in the country, PCPPI remains true to its commitments to ensure a brighter future for Filipino learners.
PCPPI manufactures and sells well-known beverage brands such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea, Milkis, Chum Churum Soonhari, and Premier.
