At
KidZania Manila, empowering children to build a better and brighter world
starts not only with helping them develop valuable life skills, but also
enabling them to experience what it’s like to actually help finish a house.
The
interactive kid-sized city recently welcomed the launch
of the Home Finishing establishment courtesy of new industry partner, First
Balfour, one of the country’s leading construction and engineering companies.
The
official launch was graced by First Balfour President and Chief Operating Officer
(COO) Anthony Fernandez, who talked about how First Balfour and KidZania Manila
share the same vision of helping shape a better nation by nurturing today’s
younger generation.
"Over the past four decades,
our purpose has been to contribute to building the nation and uplifting the
quality of life of the Filipino. Like KidZania, First Balfour believes in fostering
a better world, a brighter future – and a brighter future comes from dreams and
aspirations nurtured during the early years. We believe KidZania provides these
opportunities to young minds whose future lies in creativity and enriched
imagination," Fernandez said.
“We’re
proud to partner with one of the few companies that consistently maintain a
triple-certification for ISO (International Order for Standardization) and
safety occupational health (OHSAS),” said State Governor of KidZania
Philippines Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas. “The First Balfour Home Finishing
establishment was built to inspire kids to explore jobs in the construction
industry. Filipinos are known for their artistry and craftsmanship, and are
sought after all over the world. This is something that we can all be proud
of.”
With
the opening of the Home Finishing establishment in the metropolis, kids can
experience working as electricians— fixing electrical wirings to power up
appliances-- and house painters— painting the walls of a house. Each 15-minute
activity can accommodate 4 kids and pays 8 kidZos.
The
Home Finishing establishment is just one of KidZania Manila’s over 70 establishments with more than 100 role-playing activities that enable kids to
explore, discover, and learn how the real world works.
Let your kids discover more ways to build a better
world only at KidZania Manila’s newly opened Home Finishing
establishment. The play city is open
every day: Weekdays (9AM to 4PM); and Weekends (9AM to 2PM and 3 to 8PM). As a
special treat, the play city is extending playtime hours every Friday until
August 2016. For tickets and more information, visit manila.kidzania.com.
