West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) extended support to around 50 public schools in Metro Manila and Cavite for the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Brigada Eskwela 2025 program, providing cleaning materials and hydration support to help prepare campuses for the new school year.
In coordination with local government units and DepEd school divisions, Maynilad donated various disinfecting supplies, 87 refrigerated drinking fountains, and 260 packs of bottled water to public schools in the cities of Valenzuela, Malabon, Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Makati, Imus, and Bacoor. This initiative is part of the company’s ongoing partnership with government efforts to improve learning environments.
“We are pleased to support Brigada Eskwela once again, as it aligns with our sustainability agenda to promote health, education, and overall well-being in the communities we serve,” said Maynilad Chief Sustainability Officer Roel S. Espiritu. “By helping to create safe and welcoming school environments, we hope to empower more Filipino children to grow and thrive.”
In addition to its Brigada Eskwela efforts, Maynilad is refurbishing drink-and-wash stations in 20 public schools this year. It will also conduct W.A.S.H. (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) education sessions and reading caravans through its Daloy Dunong program, in partnership with its sister companies under the MVP group.
