Cognizant of the importance of nurturing the youth of today towards building a brighter future for the nation, IEMOP launched its OPLAN e-SKWELA campaign – an initiative which aims to empower the next generation of industry leaders by enabling access to quality education amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, IEMOP segregated company laptops which are no longer used for its market operations and donated them to the students from the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System in Quezon City who have limited access to technology for their online learning activities.
To further amplify the result of this initiative, IEMOP also sought the support of its employees through their contribution of new or used gadgets such as laptops, tablets, and other online learning-related accessories. Meanwhile, IEMOP employees responded by raising funds to purchase Android tablets and other gadgets for deserving students.
On 14 October, IEMOP successfully turned over 21 laptops and 24 tablets donated by the IEMOP Board, Management and employees to PSHS – represented by Mr. Rod Allan A. De Lara, Deputy Executive Director, and Ms. Lilia T. Habacon, Executive Director. Alongside this, essential gadget accessories were also given to PSHS on that day.
In the coming days, IEMOP will continue with its thrust to empower young Filipinos in order to further contribute to the creation of a better, brighter, and more inclusive future for the Philippines.
