Brother Philippines and SEA Institute Donate to Batangas Public Schools

In line with its continued thrust to promote environment-friendly practices and provide support for underprivileged communities, Brother Philippines once again partnered with non-profit organization the SEA Institute to donate printers and toners to public schools in the town of Mabini, Batangas. 

The donation, which was done in two legs in September and October 2020, saw eight public schools from Mabini each receive a Laser Multifunction Machine, toner cartridges, and reams of bond paper for the teachers’ and students’ needs. SEA Institute President Robert Suntay was personally present for the turnover of the donations. 

The eight schools were: 

San Teodoro Elementary School

Mainit Elementary School

Bagalangit Elementary School

Panay Elementary School

Mabini Central School

Mainaga Elementary School 

Talaga Elementary School 

Solo Elementary School 

The first four schools were chosen by the SEA Institute for their location near Barangay San Teodoro in the town, in which the organization has a reef monitoring and alternative livelihood program for the community. The latter four schools were chosen through coordination with the Department of Education. 

“We are extremely grateful to Brother Philippines for their generous donation of printers and toners to our partner schools in Mabini, Batangas,” said SEA Institute Activity Head Joseph Alfonso Ascalon. “These efficient and reliable laser printers will be a tremendous boost to the productivity and morale of the teachers in their pivot to modular lessons for their students. All the teachers were delighted with the capabilities of the printers and were confident that would be able to save valuable time.” 

Brother Philippines first partnered with the SEA Institute in October 2019 for their Family Day and CSR activity. In its constant drive to do more for the environment, the company sought more relevant environment-friendly causes they could participate in, leading them to find SEA Institute and their marine conservation and community support objectives around the Verde Island Passage in southern Luzon.

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla's Relationship Gets Tested in "The House Arrest of Us"

Box office stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla reunite in Star Cinema's first digital movie series and play a newly engaged couple who get tested by difficult circumstances in "The House Arrest of Us," which started streaming on KTX.PH last October 24 (Saturday). 

Newly engaged couple Korics (Daniel) and Q (Kathryn) get tested by difficult circumstances involving their respective families. As Korics formally asks for Q's hand in marriage following the Pinoy tradition of 'pamamanhikan' with his family, the two families' personalities clash in no time. 

Koric's mother, Berna (Arlene Muhlach) dislikes the way Zenaida (Ruffa Gutierrez) and Slyver (Herbert Bautista) welcomed them in Q's house. Likewise, Zenaida and Slyver cannot stand Koric's family especially with the sudden arrival of Koric's second father, Papawan (Gardo Versoza). 

Making things worse is the lockdown that the barangay imposes just when Koric's family is about to leave. 

Will the lockdown force their families to mend their differences? Or will it trigger Korics and Q to end their relationship? 

Riva Quenery, Anthony Jennings, Alora Sasam, Dennis Padilla, Hyubs Azarcon and Summer Ford complete the cast. 

Fans can watch all 13 episodes for P499 and expect three fan conferences, as well as behind the scenes footage prepared by the cast, Star Cinema, and KTX. 

Watch out for more exciting experiences on KTX.PH.
