Security Bank adopts 41 scholars

DT

Employees of Security Bank capped off 2025 by rallying together to support education, raising funds for 41 scholars under the Regalo Mo, Kinabukasan Ko (RMKK) scholarship program through a series of employee-led initiatives held during the bank’s year-end celebrations.

Implemented in collaboration with the bank’s Learning and Engagement Division, the initiatives generated donations for Security Bank Foundation Inc., which supports the educational needs of agency personnel such as security guards, janitors, messengers, and drivers, as well as their children.

Employees also extended support through the foundation’s Adopt a Scholar campaign, contributing cash donations, Cheers Points from the bank’s employee recognition program, and Security Bank credit card rewards points. Through these combined efforts, 41 RMKK scholars were adopted for School Year 2025–2026.

“This is a testament to how collective generosity can change lives,” said SBFI chairman Rafael Simpao Jr. “Every contribution brings our scholars closer to realizing their dreams and building better futures for themselves and their families.”

The impact of the initiative was especially felt during the Christmas season, when adopted scholars wrote letters to their sponsors expressing gratitude and reaffirming their commitment to completing their education.

Trina Ortega, employee engagement lead of Security Bank’s Learning and Engagement Division, shared a particularly moving moment when the mother of an RMKK scholar, herself a bank security guard, visited the office to personally thank employees for the opportunity given to her daughter.
