PHILAM Foundation responded to the request made by then Camarines Sur congresswoman and now Vice President Leni Robredo to build two new classrooms in a remote barangay in Camarines Sur.
The classrooms were showcased during the recently concluded classroom turnover at the Severo High School.
The Philam Paaralan classrooms that can accommodate 100 students, are fully-furnished, well-lit, ventilated, and complete with restrooms and water sanitation and hygiene facilities. They are calamity-resilient and can withstand up to 300kph of typhoon strength.
Philam Paaralan is Philam Foundation’s flagship program, which aims to build classrooms in calamity-stricken and underserved communities around the country in partnership with the Department of Education.
From its original target of building 65 classrooms in five years, Philam Paaralan is set to complete 121 classrooms, almost double its target in just four years.
Philam Life, formally known as the Philippine American Life and General Insurance Company, is the country’s premier life insurance company.
Established on June 21, 1947, Philam Life has earned the trust of customers for its financial strength, strong brand name, and ability to deliver on its promises.
Philam Life has P236.4 billion in total assets as of 2015 and has delivered timely payouts of over P10 billion in education benefits and over P131 billion in insurance benefits since 1950.
