Bringing hope and cheer to students in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija

February 2016

Tambo North Elementary School receives 100 school chairs from Isla Lipana & Co. Foundation, Inc.

It was one misfortune after another as Typhoons "Lando" and "Nona" struck Northern Luzon in October and December 2015, respectively.  Tambo North Elementary School in Barangay Tabuating, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija was not spared.  The devastation left the school in thick mud, forcing the school principal and teachers to postpone their Christmas party.

Thank you for your donations! Best gift ever!

With your donation and help, the firm through the Isla Lipana & Co. Foundation, Inc. turned over 100 "Seat of Hope" school chairs, 600 books from the Rotary Club of Makati-San Antonio, and the extra toys and gifts you selflessly shared with the children last 22 January.

A Jollibee party was hosted by the firm and Assurance Partner & Corporate Responsibility Leader Gina Detera who is concurrently President of the Foundation.  Joining the turnover was the Foundation Treasurer, Melissa Ramos (former Assurance and later Tax Partner of the firm), and members of the CR Core Team.

The funds used in the production of the school chairs came from the generous contribution of our people during our donation drive held last October 2015 for Typhoon "Lando" victims in Luzon, which includes the province of Nueva Ecija. 

Thank you once again for your kindness and God bless your hearts!
