As a meaningful symbol of its 30th anniversary, YTPI reaffirmed its commitment to community development by supporting quality education through the construction of a two-storey school building for Pila Elementary School (PES) in Barangay Duquit, Mabalacat City, Pampanga.
During the anniversary celebration, Masatsugu Nishimon, Executive Vice President for the Administration Division, formally announced YTPI’s commitment to the project, which is currently under construction. Once completed, the school building is expected to provide students and educators with enhanced learning facilities and a more conducive educational environment.
The initiative reflects YTPI’s belief that investing in education creates lasting opportunities for future generations and strengthens communities where the company operates. More than a corporate social responsibility project, the school building serves as a lasting representation of YTPI’s 30 years of dedication not only to manufacturing excellence, but also to creating meaningful and sustainable contributions to the development of Filipino communities.
