Caltex, marketed by Chevron Philippines Inc (CPI) in partnership with the American Chamber Foundation Philippines, Inc. (AMCHAM) recently donated 93 refreshed laptops to various scholars and beneficiaries including the Jesuit Bukidnon Mission.

The Jesuit Bukidnon Mission (JBM), which is currently supporting 100 Lumad youth scholars in Mindanao, received fifty (50) laptops through AMCHAM Foundation. JBM empowers youth scholars to become leaders by giving them quality education and holistic formation.

Of the 50 units, 40 units will be distributed for common use at JBM’s high school dormitories and one college dormitory. The remaining 10 units have been allocated to Tagbanua Ministry under the auspices of the Loyola College of Culion (LCC) in Palawan.

“Through our Energy for Learning initiative, Caltex continues to find ways to support education specially these days where distance learning is the norm in order to ensure the continuity of learning even amidst the pandemic,” CPI Country Chairman Billy Liu shared. “The donation of these laptops will help organizations such as the Jesuit Bukidnon Mission achieve its goals of honing scholars to become future leaders.”

Chevron believes in helping communities prosper and continues to invest for the long-term in education especially in the fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

“With much gratitude, we acknowledge the donation of fifty (50) Lenovo ThinkPads provided by Chevron Philippines, Inc. in partnership with the American Chamber Foundation, Inc. (AmCham). We also thank Business Process Outsourcing International, Inc. (BPOI) for generously providing the needed operating system and Microsoft Office for the computers.” said Fr.
