The Belle Group recently reaffirmed its commitment to volunteerism and community service by actively participating in the Brigada Eskwela 2025, the Department of Education’s annual initiative to prepare public schools for the new academic year.

Volunteers from the Belle Group, led by Belle Corporation President and CEO Armin Raquel Santos (front row, seventh from left), beam with pride after completing school refurbishment work during Brigada Eskwela 2025 at Dau Elementary School in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.

Undeterred by heavy rains, employee volunteers from Belle Corporation (Belle), Premium Leisure Corp., PremiumLeisure & Amusement, Inc., and Pacific Online Systems Corporation rolled up their sleeves for a two-day volunteer effort in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.

On June 10, Belle President and CEO Armin Raquel Santos personally led volunteers at Dau Elementary School, where the team cleaned, repainted hallways, and improved facilities to create a more inspiring and welcoming environment for students.

"Supporting education is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve our communities. It’s a responsibility we embrace with heart," said Mr. Raquel Santos, who also joined in painting the school’s walls.

School Principal Jayson Ryan De Leon thanked the Belle Group for its hands-on support and advocacy for accessible, quality education—values championed through its Belle Kaagapay social responsibility program.

On June 11, a second team of volunteers brought the same spirit of bayanihan to Duquit Elementary School, where they donated materials, painted classrooms, and helped pave parts of the school grounds identified by School Head Lily Ann Lacanlale as a critical improvement area.

Mr. Raquel Santos leads by example and paints a wall during day one of Brigada Eskwela activities at Dau Elementary School.

CIMB Bank PH taps Ruru Madrid as its newest brand ambassador

Tweet

Ruru Madrid is an award-winning actor, entrepreneur, and breadwinner—embodying the qualities that CIMB Bank Philippines’ target market aspires to.

CIMB Bank Philippines, hailed by The Asian Banker as the Best Digital Bank in the country, has recently announced that it has chosen primetime action hero, model, and entrepreneur Ruru Madrid as its newest brand ambassador.

Ruru is the star of the successfully concluded series in GMA 7’s Lolong, Bangis ng Maynila, and he was awarded Best Supporting Actor at the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival for the role he played in the movie Green Bones. He is a young entrepreneur (he is co-founder of the company Transcend Studios), an established fashion model, and one who delves in mixed martial arts, marksmanship, and meditation on his days off.

Still at the dawn of his budding entertainment career, Ruru has already earned the trust of the who’s who of show business, and more importantly, he has earned the trust of countless fans through his personal story of hard work and success. He has become a true role model for his generation: responsible, righteous, and purposeful; and he truly is befitting of the brand ambassador role that CIMB has bestowed upon him.

“CIMB Bank stood out to me because it’s not just about promoting a brand, it’s about a purpose,” said Ruru in an interview at the sidelines of his launch event. 

“They’re focused on helping everyday Filipinos build a better future so they can live their purpose. That mission really spoke to me… and I want to be part of that positive change. As someone na nakaranas din ng challenges growing up, alam ko yung halaga ng may tumutulong sa ’yo. And CIMB is like that, tumutulong sa ordinary Filipino na magkaroon ng access to a bank para makapag-start mag ipon patungo sa buhay na sagana.”

For CIMB, it was an easy decision to get Ruru to represent the Bank. “Ruru embodies everything that CIMB stands for: authenticity, purpose, and a deep understanding of the everyday Filipino’s journey,” said D’Artagnan Aguilar, Chief Marketing Officer of CIMB Bank PH. “He’s not just a celebrity; he’s a self-made individual whose story reflects grit, integrity, and a commitment to improvement. That’s why choosing Ruru as our brand ambassador was not just a smart decision. It was the right one. He connects with our mission in a way that’s real, relatable, and inspiring.”

Expect to see more of Ruru in the Bank’s upcoming campaigns and activities very soon.
