Seventy-five employees from 10 different branches of Security Bank in Davao volunteered to paint the two-story, six-classroom school building funded by Security Bank Foundation (SBF) for Panabo National High School in Panabo City, Davao Del Norte.

The school painting activity was one of the annual employee volunteerism programs conducted by the bank to provide an opportunity for its employees to give back and be personally involved in SBF’s “Build a School, Build a Nation: The Classrooms Project” which aims to construct classrooms for public schools in need of new learning facilities.

Employees also helped repaint the existing armchairs of the school.

Volunteers painted the classroom walls and grills, corridors and stairways. Employees also helped repaint the existing armchairs of the school that will be used in the school building donated by SBF.

The activity was graced by Rafael Simpao, Jr., SBF chairman, who highlighted that the school painting activity was a means for them to bring to life the bank’s tagline.

“What we are doing here today is our way of giving back to the communities we serve. This is our way of telling them from our heart, ‘You Deserve Better,’” he said.

The 75 volunteers and SBFI chairman Rafael Simpao Jr. posed for a photo after the school painting activity in Panabo National High School. Present also in the activity were Security Bank Region head for Visayas and Mindanao, Jason Ang; and Security Bank Panabo Branch business manager, Domie Casiño.

The activity’s purpose was echoed by Jason Ang, Security Bank region head for Visayas and Mindanao. “It is our pleasure to help and give back. It is the social responsibility of the bank,” he said.

The fun in helping was apparent in the volunteers’ smiles.

The beneficiaries also expressed their gratitude through Darna Tan, head teacher of Panabo National High School.

As a neighbor of the school, Security Bank Panabo Branch also took pride in the project.
