Education Secretary Leonor M. Briones (seated, second from left) joined Fortune Life employees and salespeople who participated in the event. Brigada Eskwela, also known as “National Schools’ Maintenance Week”, lasted until May 20 to prepare all public-school facilities nationwide for the opening of another school year this June.
To show its support for this cause, Fortune Life donated cleaning materials to 191 public schools nationwide and provided refreshments to participants during the weeklong activity.
