FORTUNE Life donated corporate giveaways to the Department of Education (DepEd) External Partnership Service (EPS) team at Sta. Elena High School in Marikina City.
In coordination with the DepEd EPS, Fortune Life Insurance Company joined the opening ceremony of the 63rd edition of the Palarong Pambansa at the Marikina City Sports Park last July 31.
There were approximately 9,000 children-athletes from 17 regions who took part in the parade, wearing their respective elaborately-designed and colorful costumes and uniforms.
After three years of pandemic hiatus, the annual sports competition for elementary and high school students was back, featuring 34 sports, including demonstration and exhibition events.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. opened the Palaro with Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte.
President Marcos Jr. reminded all children-athletes the importance of sportsmanship and expressed his appreciation to the coaches who helped train the participants in each sporting event.
“With consistent and diligent efforts, I am confident that they will eventually bring glory to our nation not only in the field of sports but also in other endeavors that they will choose to pursue,” President Marcos said.
The company expressed its continued support to the DepEd event by donating corporate giveaways that will benefit the participants.
Fortune Life belongs to the umbrella of the ALC Group of Companies, founded by the late Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua.
