A-RUN-KADA AT BRIGADA:  The Cotabato Light and CIPI teams in action during the fun-run and Brigada Eskwela activity.

On May 28 – it was a beautiful and demanding day for Cotabato Light (CLPC) and Cotabato Ice Plant (CIPI) teams as they hit the road at dawn to participate on NDBC “A-Run-kada” 8K Fun Run. The said fun-run aims to promote physical fitness and awareness on “takbo para sa kalusugan, kalinisan at kapayapaan” of which the Aboitiz group also advocates.  There were more than 45 employees and family members participated in this event.

After the run, the group was still in high spirit and proceeded to LR Sebastian Elementary School to partake on Annual School Maintenance Week or “Brigada Eskwela”.  That was very timely because in few weeks’ time, it will be back to school for the young ones.  Thus, preparing the school for them is a worthwhile endeavor to make the school conducive for learning.  The possible “dengue-prone” areas were also cleaned to make it safe for the kids at school.

As plan, the Cotabato Light team will refurbish three classrooms.  The said classrooms will be cleaned, repaired, repainted and re-wired its electrical connections.  Anticipating the big task on hand, the team started the day early to accomplish more. And, with some help from the school teachers and staffs, the activity went on smoothly and fast.  There were about 50 dedicated individuals’ joint-forces to get things done.

As a result, instead of three classrooms, the group had refurbished six classrooms. Indeed, that was a manifestation of how passionate Cotabato Light team is when it comes to community service and providing better solutions.  Truly, keeping ourselves physically fit and helping our fellowmen are better ways for a better future. //
