Kapuso Foundation distributes school arm chairs and teachers' desks to Rizal public school
Together with McDonalds Philippines, the Kapuso Foundation extended help to the public elementary school after it withstood damage from two of last year's typhoons, Carina and Enteng.
Apart from repainting the four Kapuso classrooms that the Kapuso Foundation donated following 2009's Ondoy, GMA's charitable institution partnered with McDonalds Philippines to donate and distribute 35 school arm chairs that have been repurposed from old restaurant furniture.
The chairs are a product of McDonalds Philippines' Reclassified Project, where old but still usable furniture are repurposed and are made stronger to help address the lack of chairs in public schools in the country.
They spruced up the chairs, repainted them, and made them stronger and more comfortable for the kids. For good measure, also donated teachers' desks.
"Malaking tulong ang mga upuan. Itong mga binigay niyo ay mako-complete somehow ang mga kakulangan ng paaralan pagdating sa upuan," said Catmon Elementary School Principal Madonna Evangelio. — LA, GMA Integrated News

7 rehabilitated Kapuso classrooms in Pililla, Rizal now ready for use
Seven newly rehabilitated Kapuso classrooms at the Virgilio B. Melendres Memorial Elementary School in Pililla, Rizal, are now ready for use. According to "24 Oras" on Wednesday, GMA Kapuso Foundation first built the seven Kapuso classrooms in the school in 2010 after it was devastated by Typhoon Ondoy. The Kapuso classrooms, however, were devastated in 2024 following the onslaught of super typhoon Carina and tropical storm Enteng. The classrooms, now restored and made even stronger, are ready to be used, with Kindergarten student Grey among the many learners who will get to experience them. "Binuhusan natin 'yung corridor sa likod. At the same time, nilagyan natin ng kanal para 'yung tubig ma-divert siya hindi papunta sa classroom, papunta na siya palabas dito sa school," said GMA Kapuso Foundation supervising engineer Arnel Zantua. New armchairs and teachers' desks were also installed in Kapuso classrooms. A smart TV was likewise donated to the school, and rice and food were distributed to the students. GMA Kapuso Foundation advocate Patricia Tumulak was among those who took part in the initiative. "Sana ganahan sila mag-aral kasi sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral nang mabuti diyan tayo aahon sa kahirapan at kaagapay ninyo ang GMA Kapuso Foundation at ang mga donors at sponsors nito," said GMA Kapuso Foundation EVP/COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects, donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee.
