Canon gives back to local community, in celebration of its 25th anniversary in the Philippines
Manila, Philippines, 5 January 2023 — Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc. caps off its 25th anniversary in the country by giving back to those in need. The effort is symbolic of Canon’s heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the Filipino community that has openly embraced and continuously supported them throughout the years.
Always a champion for social programs, Canon has remained a staunch advocate for the Department of Education’s annual Brigada Eskwela campaign that helps prepare public schools for the opening of classes. This time around, the company wrapped up its latest partnership with their first organized face-to-face school visit since the pandemic. Now, as Canon Philippines progresses back to full face-to-face class, company employees traveled to Nasugbu, Batangas where they assisted in refurbishing Maugat Elementary School – painting classroom walls and roofs. Canon also donated printers for both teachers and students to use. With this, Canon hopes that the additional upgrade will contribute to their learning experience as freshly printed modules and workbook sheets can help lead to a better understanding of the material and lessons taught.
“We appreciate Canon coming back to be a part of the Brigada Eskwela program. More than helping us beautify our school for a day, we are especially thankful for their printer donations that will go a long way towards elevating the experiences of our teachers and students,” said Dr. Myra Bruno, school principal of Maugat Elementary School.
“2022 has been a milestone year for us at Canon Philippines, and one we’re certainly proud of. As a token of gratitude, we give back and celebrate our customers and partners by bringing people together to advocate more meaningful relationships. Brigada Eswela Plus is a step among many we wish to take in improving the welfare of communities towards stronger and more resilient years ahead,” said Mr. Anuj Aggarwal, President & CEO of Canon Marketing (Philippines), Inc.
Delighting through advocacy is integral to Canon’s way of doing business and the company is committed to extending help and support to communities in need, whether it be through product donations or creative programs.
