P&G donates laptops to Dagupan schools
MULTINATIONAL company Procter & Gamble (P&G) is donating 150 brand new laptops to still unidentified public elementary schools in Dagupan City.
P &G has tapped the CSI Group of Companies, the firm’s biggest customer in Northern Luzon, to help select the pilot schools that will receive the donation.
Dagupan Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez, also the president and chief executive officer of CSI, said she will consult City Schools Superintendent Alma Ruby Torio and the Department of Education in selecting the pilot schools.
The laptop computers, ready for internet connectivity and teachers’ training, will be used by Grades IV, V and VI pupils in pilot schools to enhance their knowledge in English, Mathematics, Science and Civics.
P &G has partnered with Smart Communications, Inc. for the installation of routers and provision of internet service.
Clint Navales, P &G chief of external relations, said the laptop donation is part of the “P & G Estudyante” program, that will donate one million laptops nationwide for the next 24 years, leading towards the company’s 100th anniversary.
Dagupan schools will be the second group to benefit from the program which started last year at the Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School in Tondo, Manila
“We need the strong commitment of the school principal down to the teachers to make sure that they are willing to support and make the program succeed ” Navales said.
