Amb. Roberto Mayorga turns over 6,000 textbooks to division superintendent Dr. Mariza Magan and representatives of the Leyte Geothermal Business Unit led by division manager Erwin MagallanesPreserving the country’s cultural heritage takes a lot of dedication, fortitude and inspiration, which is why Energy Development Corporation (EDC) has taken the lead in championing the Calidad Humana movement.

Inspired by the Lopez Values, the Calidad Humana movement aims to spread kabutihang-loob sa kapwa to Lopez and non-Lopez communities and organizations in order to promote the beauty of the Filipino spirit.

EDC is tapping multiple sectors to ensure the vitality of unique Filipino values, ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to experience their pagka-Pilipino.

The Calidad Humana team headed by former Chilean ambassador Roberto Mayorga turned over 6,000 brand-new textbooks to the Ormoc City division superintendent. They were welcomed by Dr. Mariza Magan, Department of Education division superintendent, and representatives of the Leyte Geothermal Business Unit led by Community Partnerships division manager Erwin Magallanes.

“These books not only mirror the importance of academic excellence but, most importantly, highlight the fundamental need for character development which is the very foundation for the cultivation of the Calidad Humana spirit,” said Amb. Mayorga.

The team also met with officers and members of Partners Multipurpose Cooperative, an EDC-supported institution, to discuss the Calidad Humana movement.

With different sectors joining the advocacy, Calidad Humana is hopeful that future generations of Filipinos will enjoy their unique character and spread it to the rest of the world. (Story/Photo by: Jared Echevarria)
