5th Values Advocacy Program of Fortune Life Insurance Co.

Values Advocacy Program of Fortune Life Insurance Co. is now on its fifth year of promoting the values of hard work and discipline among Filipino teachers and students. An ongoing project with the Department of Education (DepEd) and Marylindbert International, the company launches the program’s fifth year today, October 21, at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan, DepEd Central Office in Pasig City.

Created with the goal of supporting the country’s educational system, the program features books on financial literacy and talks targeted on teachers’ welfare—all being consistently distributed and conducted in different parts of the Philippines. The books contain the life story of Fortune Life Chairman Emeritus and Founder Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua, whose success deeply inspires students and teachers alike. Meanwhile, teaching orientation and demonstrations and school visit interventions in the form of life coaching seminars motivate teachers to excel in their chosen vocation.

For 2015, along with the launch of a new year of the program, the Fourth Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua Gintong Parangal Para sa Edukasyon will be awarded to teachers who have worked diligently in campaigning the program’s advocacies. Five winners and three honorable mention awardees from various parts of the country will be recognized and awarded with trophies and special prizes. The five winners are Jose O. Barcelo from Camp Tinio Elementary School, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija; Lolita G. Baylosis from Andres Bonifacio Elementary School, Bacolod City; Dr. Enerio E. Ebisa from Doña Juana Actub Lluch Memorial Central School, Pala-o, Iligan City; Dr. Maria Teresita R. Gapate from San Sebastian Elementary School, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur; and Clariza G.  Terones from DepEd Division of Calamba City, Laguna.

The three honorable mentions are Edwin Haniel Engana from Benigno S. Aquino High School, Makati City; Dr. Roselyn Q. Golfo from Lucena North I Elementary School, Lucena City, Quezon; and Librado F. Torres from DepEd Division of Pasay City.

Dignitaries from the DepEd and the ALC Group of Companies, whose flagship company is Fortune Life Insurance, are expected to join the teacher-awardees and the rest of the Values Advocacy Program’s supporters in an afternoon of pride and recognition.
