McDonalds foundation donates day-care center in Guagua
GUAGUA — The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) turned over to local officials here Thursday its first Bahay Bulilit Day Care Center in Pampanga.
In coordination with the local government headed by Mayor Ricardo Rivera, the RMHC built the day-care center in Barangay San Jose here to reach out to children residing in said village and nearby Barangay Natividad.
Rivera, who thanked the RMHC officials led by RMHC Treasurer and McDonald’s Philippines executive vice president and Chief Finance Officer Romeo Bachoco, said the children will no longer have to cross the busy Olongapo-Gapan road to attend classes under the day-care program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
The mayor said several accidents involving kids crossing the main highway, particularly at the San Juan intersection, were reported by the town police.
“Ngayon po ay hindi na tatawid ng highway ang mga bata. Kaya tayo po ay nag decide na dito na sa San Jose gawin ang day-care center,” Rivera said.
He also said the local government is planning to establish a primary school near the day-care center.
“Since na naumpisahan na po ng McDonald’s itong project dito, magtatayo rin po tayo ng primary school kahit na grade 1 hanggang grade 2 lang muna para matulungan natin ang mga bata dito,” the mayor said.
Bachoco, for his part, said that one of the major programs of the RMHC is the Bahay Bulilit, which started during the time of Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as head of the DSWD.
He said they have partnered with the Department of Education and local government units in the implementation of the project.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, McDonald’s Philippines is committed to provide learning tools to children across the country, according to Bachoco.
He said the Guagua day-care center is the 22nd Bahay Bulilit in the country. The RMHC builds day-care centers in places where the national government fails to give its attention.
“RMHC aims to reach out to Filipino children around the country,” Bachoco said.
He expressed gratitude to the local officials, saying: “We are thrilled to have formed a strong partnership with the local government of Guagua that way to the completion of the first Bahay Bulilit in the province. The Municipal Government donated the lot where the structure was erected.
The municipal social welfare and development office, headed by Beth Ortiz, will handle the operation of the day-care center.
Ortiz said there are about 1,388 pupils enrolled under their day-care program and the figure will increase because of the new center which can accommodate more than 30 kids at a time.
San Jose chairman Mariano Bucud thanked the Bachoco, Rivera, Arroyo, Governor Lilia Pineda and other officials for the project.
“Malaking pribelehiyo po ito para sa amin. Hindi na kailangan lumayo ang mga bata para mag-aral,” Bucud said.
Established in 1995, the RMHC began operations in the Philippines to uplift the children’s lives through programs that address basic needs on shelter, education, and others.
