Supporting the growth of the construction industry as the country transitions to the ASEAN Integration of 2015, Jardine Distribution Inc. recently participated in the Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition (WORLDBEX)—this year’s biggest building and construction expo.

Acknowledging the industry’s potential to be at the forefront of economic growth, WORLDBEX, which was held from March 11 to 15 at the World Trade Center, gathered top companies, including Jardine Distribution, Inc., to showcase the most trusted and reliable products and services in the industry today.

Jardine Distribution’s participation in WORLDBEX this year created awareness among homeowners and other construction companies of the latest innovations in the field of home protection and preservation.

“It has always been a practice for the company to join expos like this in order to sustain a significant presence in the industry,” said Jardine DIY Channel Supervisor Claire Ribo, who likewise pointed out that expositions like WORLDBEX “are good venues for introducing—and promoting—our home protection and preservation products.”

Ribo affirmed the need for Jardine to know the needs and demands of the consumers to allow them to address these and, at the same time, enable them to determine and assess the company’s future plans.

During the expo, the company highlighted its line of home pest solutions, which include Klerat Single Feed Rodenticide, Optigard Roach and Ant Bait, and ZAP aerosol insecticide, which comes in multi-insect, cockroach, and mosquito killer variants. Jardine also brought its waterproofing and wood preservation products to show some improvements and additions to the line.

“Determination and hard work, keys to success” – Luistro to Pantawid Pamilya graduates

Tweet

“Kapag tinitignan nila sa pag-aaral kung sino ang talagang nagiging tunay na successful sa buhay, sabi nila iyong mga nagpupursigi, iyong may pangmatagalan na lakas at patuloy na nangangarap at hindi sumusuko,” Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC said to more than 4,000 Pantawid Pamilya high school graduates who attended the post-graduation celebration at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on April 9, 2015.

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), a human development program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households, primarily of children aged 0-18, has produced its first batch of high school graduates this year.

The education chief told the graduates that their lives do not stop at graduation saying, “Pwede pa kayong matulungan na mabigyan ng scholarship ng TESDA para may choice kayo. 

Pwede pa kayong mangarap at pumasok sa pamantasan. Merong mga scholarships, kung kayo'y magpupursigi at magpapatupad ng inyong mga pangarap.”

“Sa ating pagtatapos, mahaba pa ang ating lakbayin sa buhay, marami pa tayong mga paghamon, at maraming mga pagkakamali, marami tayong makalilimutan. Kung ang kasama natin ay tatawanan tayo, baka mahirapan tayong tumawid; pero kung sama-sama tayo at sabihin sa ating sarili, “Kaya natin yan, hindi tayo susuko!” At kung may mga panahon na binabatikos tayo, makipagtulungan tayo sa isa't-isa. Kayang-kaya iyan ng Pilipino,” he added.

Luistro said that 4Ps has helped DepEd to reach out to more Filipino children and deliver to them quality basic education.

“Ang enrollment sa high school sa buong Pilipinas sa public schools ngayon ay 5.9 million. Malapit na tayo sa six million. Pero noong nakalipas na panahon, ang enrollment lang natin sa high school ay 5.4 million. Dumami ang ating enrollment sa high school ng half a million. At dahil dyan, kailangan natin mag-hire ng mga panibagong teachers, magtayo ng mga panibagong classroom, at siguraduhing ang programa ay makausad,” said Luistro.

This year, DepEd will build more than 40,000 classrooms and create over 39,000 teacher items as it continues to gear up for the K to 12 full implementation in 2016.
