On April 10, 2024, the Sibayan Calica Foundation was honoured with the ‘Brigadanggayan’ award at the La Union Convention Center in the City of San Fernando, La Union. This prestigious recognition celebrates our unwavering commitment to enhancing public education through community involvement and support.
The ‘Brigadanggayan’ award is part of the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela program, which embodies the Filipino spirit of “bayanihan”—communal unity and cooperation. This initiative encourages various stakeholders, including local governments, private organisations, and community members, to collaborate in preparing public schools for the academic year. Activities typically involve cleaning, repairing, and beautifying school facilities to create a conducive learning environment.
Our foundation’s dedication to this cause has been evident through our consistent efforts in providing essential resources and support to schools in La Union. By donating school supplies, facilitating infrastructure improvements, and engaging the community in educational activities, we have contributed significantly to the betterment of public education in the region.
Receiving the ‘Brigadanggayan’ award is a testament to the collective efforts of our team, volunteers, and donors who share our vision of empowering communities through education. It underscores the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainable development and highlights the impact of our initiatives on the lives of students and educators alike.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Department of Education for this recognition and to all our partners who have supported us in our mission. This award inspires us to continue our work with renewed vigor, knowing that our contributions are making a tangible difference in the community.
Moving forward, the Sibayan Calica Foundation remains committed to fostering educational development and community engagement. We believe that through continued collaboration and dedication, we can create lasting positive change and help shape a brighter future for the students of La Union.
