EastWest Rural Bank and EastWest Unibank proudly sponsored the National Teachers’ Day event organized by the Department of Education (DepEd) as part of the 2024 National Teachers’ Month (NTM) celebration. The event was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Thursday, October 3, culminating a month-long campaign dedicated to honoring educators across the country. Approximately 10,000 teachers and educational stakeholders attended, enjoying various activities, including Zumba sessions, heartfelt tributes, raffle prizes, and vibrant entertainment.
A standout moment of the day was the surprise appearance and performance by Donny Pangilinan, ambassador for EastWest’s new digital banking platform, EasyWay. His dedication to promoting financial literacy resonated deeply with the event’s theme, adding a meaningful touch to his tribute.
In line with EastWest Rural Bank’s commitment to supporting educators, the bank offers Teachers’ Loans, featuring special rates and flexible financing options tailored specifically for teachers. This initiative aims to assist educators in reaching their personal and professional aspirations, whether for personal expenses or further development, showcasing the bank’s dedication to empowering those who shape the future.
“We at EastWest Rural Bank are honored to support this year’s ‘Together4Teachers’ theme, which aligns closely with our mission to uplift our unsung heroes in education. Through appreciation, admiration, approval, and attention, we stand with the Department of Education to ensure our teachers receive the recognition and support they deserve. Their commitment is vital for shaping the future, and it is a privilege to be part of a celebration that acknowledges their remarkable contributions to society,” stated Sheila S.
