Puregold Price Club, Inc. strengthens its commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development through its social responsibility initiative, Pusong Panalo. The multi-channel retailer provided support to the Laiban Elementary School in Tanay, Rizal. This latest effort marks a critical step in Puregold’s ongoing mission to improve lives and advance development in rural areas.
Known for its community-based approach to giving back, the Pusong Panalo program brought significant changes to Laiban Elementary School. Puregold installed solar panels in the school, ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy source that students and teachers will benefit from for years to come. The initiative also included the construction of a new playground and the addition of the canteen, providing students with a more complete and enjoyable learning environment.
In addition, the retailer donated new laptops to the school’s teachers, meeting the growing need for technology tools in education. Both students and teachers also received grocery packages for their families.
“Puregold believes that education is a powerful tool that can change lives,” said Ferdinand Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “It is a privilege to work with these communities and help provide the tools students and educators need to thrive. Vincent added.
Laiban Elementary School is located in the remote and mountainous region of Tanay, Rizal, and has limited access to resources and infrastructure. With Puregold’s support, the school is now better equipped to meet the needs of its students and staff.
Puregold’s Pusong Panalo program has played an important role in bridging the gap between urban and rural communities, providing much-needed assistance to areas that are often overlooked. The company’s ongoing efforts, including infrastructure improvements, technology donations and the distribution of essential goods, demonstrate its steadfast commitment to creating lasting positive impacts on the communities it serves.
As part of its long-term vision, Puregold pledges to expand its support to 30 schools in remote areas by 2028. Puregold plans to help four more schools in 2024. To fund this, Laiban Elementary School has nominated another school in Tanay for additional solar panels, a new learning center and improved comfort rooms.
“Our goal is to unite our growing community and create a referral network among the schools we have supported, inspired by the Filipino Bayanihan spirit,” says Vincent.
