| Hanabishi partners with GMA Kapuso Foundation to rehabilitate Marawi schools |
Hanabishi
will donate P500,000 worth of electric fans, water dispensers and other
appliances to beneficiary schools Pendolonan Elementary School, Camp
Bagong Amai Pakpak Elementary School and Datu Saber Elementary School.
“Hanabishi
has always been dedicated to making life better and easier for every
Filipino family by offering only the best quality, affordable products.
We believe that this vision of helping fellow Filipinos is aligned with
the cause of GMAKF and we are very happy that Hanabishi continues to be
part of their advocacy by being their partner for many years now,”
shared Hanabishi President Jasper Ong.
Hanabishi
first worked with GMAKF on a housing project for the victims of Typhoon
Sendong back in 2011. Since then, Hanabishi has continued to support
other GMAFK initiatives, which led to a strong partnership now spanning
seven years. GMAKF’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating
Officer Rikki Catibog noted her appreciation for the support and
goodwill Hanabishi had shared with the foundation.
“I
think the GMA Kapuso Foundation effectively brings the Hanabishi brand
to areas where they are needed the most. A great example would be the
beneficiary elementary schools of the Rebuild Marawi Project. We cannot
stress how important it is for the children to have classrooms that are
conducive to learning. We are very thankful that Hanabishi has always
been willing to extend whatever help they can in improving the lives of
more Filipinos,” said Catibog.
GMAKF’s
Founder and Ambassador Mel Tiangco also shared her appreciation for the
efforts extended by the leading home appliance brand.
“Indeed,
our partnership with Hanabishi has come a long way, and this wouldn’t
have been possible without our shared passion to serve the Filipino
people. As our partnership continues to grow, I also wish for
Hanabishi’s continued growth and prosperity to enable them to realize
their vision and reach out to even more people,” shared Tiangco.
Over
the course of its seven-year partnership with GMAKF, Hanabishi has
donated appliance sets for 200 houses in Iligan and 600 houses in
Tacloban and Leyte, appliances for the Kapuso Village Integrate School
in Tacloban and P1 million worth of appliances for the communities
ravaged by Typhoon Yolanda. The three schools included in the Rebuild
Marawi Project are among the recipients of the 100 classroom target of
GMAKF’s Kulayan ang Kinabukasan initiative, which is also supported by Hanabishi.
