Beko Partners with DepEd to Empower Filipino Students

Sunday, October 26, 2025


True to its mission of uplifting communities through innovation, Beko, the No. 1 large home appliance brand in Europe, recently joined forces with the Department of Education (DepEd) – Division of Taguig City and Pateros to support nine public schools with essential appliances.

This corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative underscores Beko’s belief that empowering the youth starts with giving them access to practical learning tools that prepare them for life beyond the classroom.

The partnership aims to enhance Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) and Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) programs, providing students with hands-on experience through equipment that mirrors real-world home management and technical tasks.

Equipping Schools for a Brighter Tomorrow

Beko donated nine complete appliance sets—each including a refrigerator, washing machine, and cooking range—to selected elementary, junior high, and senior high schools in Taguig and Pateros.

Beneficiaries include:

Sta. Ana Elementary School, Ciriaco P. Tinga Elementary School, Enlisted Men’s Signal Village Elementary School, Taguig Integrated School, Tibagan High School, Kapitan Jose Cardones Integrated School, Pitogo High School, Fort Bonifacio High School, and Kapitan Eddie T. Reyes Integrated School.

By equipping these institutions, Beko aims to make practical learning more accessible, efficient, and engaging — allowing students to develop real-life skills that foster both independence and confidence.

Empowering the Next Generation Through Education

During the turnover ceremony, Dyeun Zapanta, Beko Philippines’ Marketing Head, shared that the company’s purpose extends beyond business:

“We’re not just here to promote our products, but to help the Filipino consumer attain a sustainable life. Empowering the next generation starts with education and training. We hope these appliances inspire our young learners to embrace innovation, learn essential life skills, and prepare them to face future challenges.”

This partnership reflects Beko’s long-term commitment to nurturing Filipino families — combining its Korean-engineered technology, European quality, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

DepEd Expresses Gratitude for Beko’s Support

DepEd officials expressed their appreciation for Beko’s contribution, emphasizing how it complements their ongoing efforts to improve technical and livelihood education.

Dr. Alixander Haban Escote, Principal of Fort Bonifacio High School, shared:

“Your donation to nine public schools in Taguig and Pateros is a timely effort in improving our TLE and TVL programs. These appliances will enhance our facilities and help us prepare for the upcoming National Tec-Voc Day this school year.”

Dr. Cynthia Ayles, School Division Superintendent of DepEd Taguig and Pateros, also added:

“We are grateful for this initiative. These appliances will be maximized by our learners, especially in schools offering cookery courses. Rest assured, we will use these resources to help students learn essential life skills.”

Building a Sustainable Future Through Education

Beko’s donation represents more than just equipment — it’s an investment in the future of Filipino learners. By promoting education that integrates sustainability and life skills, Beko reinforces the idea that a brighter future begins with empowered youth and strong communities.
