We look forward to more opportunities to contribute, collaborate, and grow together.”
She also expressed gratitude to the teachers and staff for their dedication, encouraging students to work hard, dream big, and believe in their potential: “To the teachers and staff, again, maraming salamat po sa inyong dedikasyon, sa paggabay sa kabataan.
And to the students, remember that you are the future. Kayo ang pag-asa ng bayan. Work hard, dream big and never stop believing in what you can achieve.
Once again, thank you po for allowing us to be part of this journey. Together, let’s build a stronger, smarter and brighter Jaen. Here at JDN, we value you.”
Jaen Central School Principal, Dr. Evelyn A. Panganiban, extended her heartfelt gratitude. “These supplies will go a long way in helping our learners in their studies and more importantly they serve as a reminder that there are people who believe in their potential and success” She also reminded students of the power of education, “so to our dear learners, JCS learners, always remember that education is your most valuable tool for a brighter future.
So make the most of this support, stay dedicated to your studies and continue striving for your dreams. So once again, our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to JDN Realty Group for making this initiative possible and may this partnership continue to inspire and uplift more young minds in the years ahead.”
Panganiban ended her speech on a hopeful note, “Sana po ito lamang ang simula na mas marami pa nating collaboration and partnership.”
The school’s PTA president, Mr. Frederick Diamsay also welcomed JDN and acknowledged the generous donation. “Ako po kasama ng mga magulang ng Jaen Central School at mga mag-aaral ay lubos pong nagpapasalamat ah dahil napili niyo po kami sa outreach program na ito. Ah, bagamat po tapos na yung klase, eh naihabol pa po, pero ito po ay magagamit nila sa susunod pong pasukan at malaking tulong po ito sa kanila. Muli po ah, welcome po sa Jaen Central School at good morning po.”
In an online post, Jaen Central School showed appreciation to JDN stating that more than a thousand students will benefit from this generous donation and that this kindness will make a significant impact on the students’ education journey.
“This marks the beginning of what we hope will be a long-lasting partnership, and we are excited about the future we can build together. Your support not only equips our students with the tools they need to succeed, but it also inspires a brighter path for their learning and growth” the post added.
This initiative comes ahead of the much-anticipated opening of Nepo Mall Jaen in Q2 2025, further solidifying JDN’s presence in the community through its continuous social responsibility initiatives.
