Building Brighter Classrooms and Brighter Futures

True community spirit is shown through action—and the Bukidnon Plantation Service Cooperative proudly demonstrates this by participating in the nationwide initiative Brigada Eskwela, the Philippines’ annual school maintenance program. Every year, the cooperative mobilizes its members, staff, and volunteers to give back to local schools in preparation for the opening of classes.

Brigada Eskwela is more than just cleaning and repairing—it's a heartfelt commitment to education, community involvement, and the future of our children.

🛠 What Happens During Brigada Eskwela?

The cooperative’s involvement includes:

• Cleaning classrooms and school grounds

• Repairing desks, chairs, and blackboards

• Repainting walls and fences

• Donating school supplies or learning materials

• Providing snacks or meals to volunteers

• Helping teachers prepare learning spaces

This hands-on initiative unites parents, coop members, students, and educators in a common goal—to create a safe, vibrant, and functional learning environment.

🎒 Why It Matters

Many schools, especially in rural or underserved areas, operate with limited resources. Through Brigada Eskwela, the cooperative addresses these gaps with people-power and practical support. More importantly, the activity:

Encourages volunteerism and community service

Helps improve student morale and school pride

Builds stronger relationships between the coop and local institutions

Promotes a culture of caring, generosity, and responsibility

“When we help clean a classroom, we don’t just remove dirt—we remove barriers to learning.”

👥 United in Service

The strength of this initiative lies in its collaborative nature. From coop officers and employees to member families and local youth, each participant contributes in whatever way they can. Some bring tools, others bring paint, and many bring the most important thing—their time and effort.

It is also a moment where the cooperative educates its members, especially the youth, about the value of education and collective service.

🌟 Investing in the Next Generation

By supporting Brigada Eskwela, the Bukidnon Plantation Service Cooperative sends a clear message: education is a shared responsibility. We believe that every child deserves a clean, inspiring place to learn, and every teacher deserves a well-maintained environment to teach.

We don’t just build better schools—we help build better communities.
