EastWest celebrates DepEd’s National Teacher’s Day
EastWest Rural Bank and EastWest Unibank sponsored the National Teachers’ Day event hosted by the Department of Education (DepEd) as part of the 2024 National Teachers’ Month (NTM) celebration. The event took place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City last Thursday, October 3. The event is the culmination of the DepEd’s month-long campaign to honor the contributions of educators across the nation. With around 10,000 teachers and educational stakeholders in attendance, the day featured a variety of activities, including Zumba, heartfelt tributes to teachers, raffle prizes, and lively entertainment.
A special highlight of the day was the surprise visit and performance by Donny Pangilinan, ambassador of EastWest’s newest digital banking platform EasyWay. Donny’s commitment to financial literacy, which aligns with his personal values, made his tribute even more meaningful.
As part of EastWest Rural Bank’s commitment to supporting educators, one of its core products is the Teachers’ Loans, which offer special rates and flexible financing options designed specifically for educators. This product aims to support teachers in achieving their personal and professional goals, whether it’s for personal expenses, or further development. It highlights EastWest Rural Bank’s dedication to empowering those who shape the future.
“We at EastWest Rural Bank are proud to support this year’s ‘Together4Teachers’ theme, which resonates deeply with our commitment to uplifting our unsung heroes in education. Through Appreciation, Admiration, Approval, and Attention, we join the Department of Education to ensure that our teachers receive the recognition and support they deserve. Their dedication shapes the future, and it’s an honor to be part of a celebration that values their incredible contributions to our society,” said Sheila S. Marasigan- Bajado, EastWest Rural Bank President.
