As the new school year begins, Vista Land, one of the Philippines’ leading integrated property developers and the nation’s largest homebuilder, reaffirms its commitment to education by expanding its community-focused initiatives. The company has recently launched a campaign aimed at improving learning environments in schools across the country.
Spearheaded by Vista Land Managing Director Rep. Camille Villar, the campaign is part of the company’s broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, focusing on addressing the ongoing needs of schools nationwide. This initiative includes the continuous refurbishment of educational facilities, underscoring Vista Land’s dedication to enhancing the quality of education.
Vista Land kicked off its involvement in DepEd’s nationwide school maintenance program in Urdaneta, Pangasinan, where they donated gallons of paint to teachers and officials of beneficiary schools.
In total, Vista Land contributed 2,200 gallons of paint to over 75 schools, including day care centers, elementary, and high schools across the country. Furthermore, Vista Land employees have actively volunteered their time to paint classroom walls, chairs, play areas, and hallways, all to help create a safe and conducive learning environment for students.
Vista Land’s ongoing commitment to education is driven by the belief that creating holistic communities means ensuring residents have access to essential services, including quality education.
“I am happy to join our eager education partners and parents as we set up another exciting school year for our learners,” said Villar during her visit to Urdaneta 1 Central School, where she also participated in painting school chairs. “By refurbishing schools, we contribute to creating an environment where our learners can thrive and eventually grow into productive citizens,” she added.
As a mother of two, Villar understands the critical role education plays in securing a brighter future for children. “That is why in each master-planned community that we create, we ensure that residents have complete access to educational, business, commercial, and recreational facilities with the end view of uplifting the Filipino quality of life,” Villar emphasized.
During the event, Villar highlighted the importance of the bayanihan spirit, which has been evident throughout Vista Land’s CSR activities. She encouraged parents, teachers, students, and community members to continue supporting these efforts.
“This activity best exemplifies the bayanihan spirit in all of us. It is a way for us to give back to the institutions that nurtured our hearts and minds and helped us to become who we are today. The concerted efforts of everyone involved in this endeavor are truly commendable and inspiring,” Villar said.
