As the new school year approaches,
Academia System Global Colleges of Talisay City, Cebu has partnered
with the first Filipino phone brand in the Philippines, MyPhone, to
provide free cellular phones for Grade 10 completers.
In line to the Department of
Education’s initiative to conduct modular learning to students for
the upcoming school year, ACGS took their part to support their
students in coping with the new learning environment, making them the
first school in the Philippines to give free cellular phones to their
students.
According to ACGS’ President Dr.
Ferdinand Yap Tomakin, they have been motivated by the school’s
mission to offer variable learning opportunities and educational
experience geared towards the total formation of their students.
“Giving out free cellular phones is
the ultimate manifestation of the school’s commitment in providing
optimum and quality learning,” he said. “In doing so, the school
will be able to reach out especially to the underprivileged, keeping
true to our philosophy that education is a fundamental right and not
a privilege,” he added.
Students who will receive free cellular
phones can easily communicate with their teacher through online or
text messaging.
In addition, ASGC reiterated that if a
student opt not to receive a cellular phone, they will still be
entitled for the free allowance of P500, free educational supplies,
free P.E. uniform, and other inclusions in line with their offer of
free tuition, miscellaneous, and other school fees for Grade 10
completers from public schools.
MyPhone, on the other hand, has
extended their overwhelming gratitude to the school’s capability
and openness to support the youth.
“We are glad that they reached the
right phone brand as we also wanted to tap students in our future
projects,” MyPhone Vice President Kevin Tan said. “MyPhone has
been providing quality and affordable phones for the Filipinos since
2007 and this being partnered with a school is a great opportunity
for us to reach the right market with our gadgets,” he added.
The Filipino phone brand has recently
launched Balik-Aral sa Tahanan campaign which aims to
introduce the use of tablets and other mobile devices as an
e-learning equipment for students.
