DLPC continues CSR policy

THE municipality of Dujali, Davao del Norte got a substantial donation in the form of medicines from Aboitiz-owned Davao Light & Power Co. for its Serbisyo sa Katawhan Medical Outreach Project conducted last November 18, 2011.
On the same day, Mabuhay National High School in Mabuhay, Carmen received five (5) units of brand new computers with three (3) units printers from the same electric distribution company.
Last November 24, Davao Light donated five new computers and three printers to Southern Davao National High School in Panabo City and latyer in the day, the company also turned over two electrical rewiring projects on all the buildings at Dondoy Central Elementary School in Cagangohan, and at Gredu Elementary School fronting the Panabo branch office of Davao Light.
Dujali Mayor Lolita Moral thanked Davao Light for its concern for her people who are also customers of the utility.
In Mabuhay, Carmen, Department of Education Supervisor Virginia Perandos, representing Division Superintendent Dr. Aurora B. Cubero, encouraged students to make good use of the computers from Davao Light by maximizing their use to enhance the student’s skills in information and communication technology.
In Panabo City Acting City Administrator Henry Esparagoza, who represented Mayor Jose Silvosa, told audiences at Southern Davao National High School, Dondoy Central Elementary School, and Gredu Elementary School that with all the support given by the company to Panabo in terms of education interventions, Davao Light may as well get a new name and that DLPC should now mean “Davao Light the Power that Cares”.
He added that rewiring the two elementary schools will redound to the safety and security of school children against fire incidents and obviate possible millions of pesos in fire losses for DepEd..
Computer donations and rewiring of school buildings are two of the projects under Davao Light’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program that are given more push this year. This is in addition to school building construction for public elementary and high schools, academic scholarships, armchair donations, and others.
