Teleperformance Philippines supports DepEd’s Brigada Eskwela in Gensan & the rest of Mindanao

Teleperformance (TP) in the Philippines successfully supported the Brigada Eskwela 2024 in Mindanao, including General Santos City, an annual initiative of the Department of Education (DepEd) that mobilizes various sectors of society to help with and volunteer for the preparation of public school facilities for the new school year. 

Aptly dubbed, TP Dream Builder, the event brought together TP volunteers who have shown remarkable dedication by rolling up their sleeves to volunteer and refurbish school facilities nationwide. These efforts included cleaning up school grounds, re-painting classroom walls, and repairing classroom furniture.

Teleperformance in Mindanao supported the Brigada Eskwela program of Jose Divinagracia Sr. Elementary School in General Santos City, Bunawan Aplaya Elementary School in Davao, and Camaman-an Elementary School in Cagayan de Oro.

TP has recorded a 26% increase in volunteer engagement this year with 242 volunteers from its various locations across the Philippines demonstrating selfless dedication through the spirit of volunteerism.

“We are proud to see a continued increase in volunteer hours each year. We’ve recorded a total of 1,500 volunteer-hours for this year’s Brigada Eskwela for on location activities alone. That does not include all the time spent on the preparations and coordination for the actual school activities,” TP’s Chief People Officer and Citizen of the World (COTW) Chairperson Jeffrey Johnson, shared. 

“Seeing how our employees have generously shared the gift of time and how truly passionate they are to support our philanthropic efforts makes me really proud,” Jeffrey added.

Aside from Mindanao, Teleperformance volunteers also participated the Brigada Eskwela activites in Sum-Ag Elementary School in Bacolod, Iba Elementary School in Cebu, Gibraltar Elementary School in Baguio, Sto. Domingo Integrated School in Pampanga, Molino Elementary School in Cavite, and Bambang Elementary School in Pasig.

This year, TP’s select adopted schools include Jose Divinagracia Sr. Elementary School in General Santos City, Camaman-an Elementary School in Cagayan de Oro, Bunawan Aplaya Elementary School in Davao, , Iba Elementary School in Cebu, Gibraltar Elementary School in Baguio, Sto. Domingo Integrated School in Pampanga, Molino Elementary School in Cavite, and Bambang Elementary School in Pasig.

While super typhoon Carina has affected various areas in Metro Manila, the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela program continues to thrive with the dedication of staunch supporters like Teleperformance.
