Daloy ng Saya: Spreading love and happiness this Christmas

After more than two years with minimal face-to-face interactions, learners are back in schools as in-person classes resume. Despite the challenges brought by the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, teachers and parents worked together to ensure the safety of children.  Aside from schools, office activities are also in full swing. For instance, Laguna Water has started to bring back its community engagement and environmental protection initiatives. The company volunteered to become vessels of hope by allocating time and talent to different causes the company supports while still ensuring continuous provision of water and wastewater services to its service area. In line with this, Laguna Water spearheaded Daloy ng Saya, an annual Christmas activity that aims to spread awareness on water conservation, proper sanitation, and waste management. For its seventh year, the activities were made possible through the camaraderie and care of 41 Laguna Water volunteers who led the learning session made interactive with games and prizes. 

During the sessions, volunteers reiterated facts about the current state of freshwater sources and how proper sanitation and waste segregation can help their protection. Learners were also encouraged to start practicing water conservation measures at an early age and share their learning with their families and co-students. From December 9-14, Laguna Water and its employee volunteers visited seven schools across the province. Aside from the learning sessions, gift packs were distributed and benefited 350 learners and 70 teachers. Supplies, like paper, pens, and face masks, were also donated to augment the schools’ resources.  

Aside from the donations provided by the company, Laguna Water was also able to get the support of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) to co-host the event at Aplaya Elementary School in Santa Rosa City. BPI also sent 12 of their employee volunteers who co-facilitated the session and donated additional gifts and food for the learners and teachers. In addition, Cabuyao City Mayor Dennis Hain and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office co-sponsored the event in Mamatid Elementary School through food packs for the learners.

"Lubos kaming nagpapasalamat sa Laguna Water dahil sa dinamidami ng paaralan dito sa Biñan ay napili n’yo po kaming handugan. Naghatid kayo ng saya sa ating mga mag-aaral. Dalangin namin na lalo pa kayong pagpalain  dahil naging mapagpala kayo sa buhay ng maraming bata."
