Maxicare Continues to Expand Community Service with Their Brigada Eskwela 2025 Initiatives

Aligned with its dedication to education, wellness, and community service, Maxicare Healthcare Corporation, an honored member of the Juan Community Gokongwei Group, continues its own Brigada Eskwela 2025 initiatives at Hen. Pio del Pilar Elementary School and Makati Integrated School. Led by the Department of Education, Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide initiative that mobilizes volunteers across sectors to help prepare public schools for the new academic year.

On August 23, Maxicare volunteers rolled up their sleeves to revitalize the Sky Garden at Hen. Pio del Pilar Elementary School. This garden serves as a special outdoor space where students can relax, learn, and connect with nature.

The team worked closely with school officials and community members to clean and restore the area, turning it into a safer, more inviting spot for the students. Their efforts showcased the power of teamwork and community spirit in creating nurturing learning environments.

In addition to the garden cleanup, Maxicare also donated much-needed school supplies and learning materials, helping both students and teachers start the school year on the right foot.

On August 28, Maxicare’s dedicated volunteers, with staff from Maxicare’s Corporate HR and Labor Management Council, continued their outreach at Makati Integrated School. This was led by Ms. Elizabeth Gregorio, Chief Health Network Management Officer; Dr. Art Libao, Chief Medical Director; and Ms. Shellay Albay, Project Lead.

One of the day’s highlights was a Dengue Awareness Talk by Dr. Libao for Grade 4 students. The interactive session focused on practical ways to prevent dengue, such as eliminating mosquito breeding sites and keeping the surroundings clean. The kids actively participated, asking questions and showing great enthusiasm for the topic.

Maxicare also distributed Dengue Kits to the students, providing essential tools to help protect them from the disease. To support the school’s learning environment, the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation donated a flat-screen television and a high-quality speaker system, resources that will enhance classroom engagement and modern teaching approaches.

Through these Brigada Eskwela activities, Maxicare continues to uphold the Juan Community Gokongwei Group’s vision of building healthier, safer, and more empowered communities. More than just a healthcare provider, Maxicare remains steadfast in its commitment to nation-building through education, community development, and volunteerism, ensuring a brighter future for Filipino youth.
