Philippines, 15 June 2026 – Demonstrating a shared commitment to education and community development, Belle Corporation (Belle) and Pacific Online Systems Corporation (Pacific Online) successfully spearheaded a two-day Brigada Eskwela mobilization at Tranca and Suplang Elementary Schools. The joint initiative focused on campus refurbishment, student wellness and local livelihood generation to prepare the public schools for the incoming academic year.
Aside from Belle and Pacific Online employees, volunteers from Premium Leisure Corp. and PremiumLeisure & Amusement, Inc. also joined the annual effort, which began on June 2 at Tranca Elementary School in Barangay Tranca, Talisay, Batangas.
The volunteers refurbished the campus by cleaning and repainting at least four classrooms.
To ensure safety and long-term campus readiness, Belle and Pacific Online donated fire extinguishers, waste bins and premium painting supplies.
Emphasizing community empowerment, the organizers engaged three local barbers from Barangay Tranca to provide free haircuts to 65 students and faculty members, stimulating the local economy over two days. Catering for the volunteer pool was also sourced entirely from community-based suppliers in neighboring Suplang, Tanauan.
Dr. Aileen B. Lontok, School Head of Tranca Elementary, credited the organizers for enhancing the learning environment for the school’s 542 students.
The unified campaign sustained its momentum on June 3 at Suplang Elementary School in Tanauan City wherein 29 students availed of free haircuts. Company volunteers and community partners spent the day repairing facilities, organizing instructional items and facilitating free grooming sessions for incoming learners.
Suplang Elementary School Head Teacher Edwin Castillo also commended the Belle Group, noting that the collaborative effort successfully created a clean and highly motivating space for student growth. For school year 2025-2026, they had 198 students.
Through this multi-school campaign, Belle Corporation and Pacific Online continue to advance their corporate social responsibility goals as part of Belle Kaagapay’s advocacies, harnessing the traditional Filipino spirit of bayanihan to build stronger foundations for public education in Batangas.
