Department of Education recognized the education initiatives of Aboitiz Power Corporation in Bataan through its private limited partnerships GNPower Mariveles Energy Center and GNPower Dinginin.
The companies pledged P10 million over five years to the “Iskolar ng Bataan” program, including a recent P2-million remittance to support 200 engineering students enrolled in local state universities.
GMEC and GNPD also participated in the Aboitiz Foundation’s AuroraPH initiative by providing solar panels and high-speed internet connectivity to Biaan Aeta Integrated School to help bridge the digital divide in remote schools.
The firms likewise conducted intensive teacher-training sessions for educators from 15 partner schools through the Eskwelasugan Program, which uses the Alpabasa literacy method, a game-based reading approach that integrates music, movement, and interactive activities into learning.
