PCPPI Advocates for Quality Education and Supports DepEd's Brigada Eskwela

“PCPPI values education and acknowledges the vital role that the youth play in nation-building. This is why we continuously support Brigada Eskwela as it brings communities together to build an environment conducive for learning.” ~Atty. Carina Bayon, PCPPI Chief Environmental, Social and Governance Officer

Carrying the Filipino spirit of Bayanihan, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) continues to provide full support to the Department of Education's (DepEd) Brigada Eskwela Program. Since 2014, PCPPI has provided support to local schools and communities as part of its sustainability commitments and in accordance with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Brigada Eskwela, founded in 2003, is a national school maintenance program that encourages participation from teachers, volunteers, private organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that school facilities are ready for the new academic year.

This year's program, appropriately titled “Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan,” encourages greater collaboration between communities and private organizations to strengthen the country's educational system and institutions. 

Over 200 PCPPI volunteers from 15 locations across the country contributed their time and energy to this worthy cause. 

This year, PCPPI partnered with 19 public schools to donate school supplies, health and safety equipment, cleaning supplies, construction and repair materials, and refreshments. Aside from these donations, PCPPI employees organized community projects such as waste management training sessions, classroom and school grounds cleaning, school facility repairs, and vegetable and ornamental garden clearing.

As the sole manufacturer of well-known PepsiCo beverages in the country, PCPPI remains committed to providing a brighter future for Filipino students.

PCPPI manufactures and sells well-known beverage brands such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea, Milkis, Chum Churum Soonhari, and Premier.
