This active participation in the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela 2025 “Brigada Eskwela: Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa” shows that the company is committed to community development.

The initiative, which aims to support students and ease the financial burden of families in preparation for the incoming school year, reached various schools in the cities and municipalities of Imus, Silang, General Trias, Kawit, Bacoor, and Parañaque.

They include: Alapan II-B Barangay Hall, Malagasang II-B Barangay Hall, Hipolito Saquilayan High School, and Alapan II-A Elementary School in Imus; Tibig Elementary School in Silang; Cecilio M. Saliba Elementary School, Governor Ferrer Memorial Integrated National High School, and General Trias Memorial Elementary School in General Trias;

Florante Ilano Elementary School and Binakayan National High School in Kawit; Perville Daycare Center Moonwalk, Sto. Niño Elementary School, and San Dionisio Elementary School in Parañaque; and Salinas Elementary School and Longos Elementary School in Bacoor. 

Each student received a school kit containing ballpens, notebooks, pad paper, and crayons.

One of the highlights of the donation drive was the turnover at Salinas Elementary School, which coincided with Bacoor City’s official opening of Brigada Eskwela 2025.

Cavite 2nd District Representative Lani Mercado Revilla, who attended the event, said, “Taos-puso akong nagpapasalamat sa Cavitex para sa kanilang aktibong pakikilahok sa Brigada Eskwela dito sa Bacoor. Malaking tulong ang inyong suporta at volunteer work sa paghahanda ng ating mga paaralan para sa ligtas at maayos na pagbabalik ng ating mga mag-aaral. Maraming salamat, Cavitex! Sama-sama, tulong-tulong, para sa mga paaralan ng Bacoor!”

Arlette V. Capistrano, Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management at MPT South, said: “We believe that our role in nation-building goes beyond the roads and expressways we build. It also means supporting the communities we operate in—especially the students who represent the future of those communities. Brigada Eskwela has always been a meaningful way for us to give back.”

The donation drive is a part of MPT South’s wider corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, which also includes initiatives in environment, safety, and livelihood. 

MPT South is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC). Aside from Calax and Cavitex networks of toll roads, MPTC’s domestic portfolio includes concessions for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
