Since October 2011, 18 pre-school classrooms in nine sites have already been turned over to pre-school beneficiaries—the most recent of which are in: Cabu Elementary School in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija; Macabalan Elementary School in Cagayan de Oro; Puerto Elementary Sschool in Cagayan de Oro; and Tagumpay Elementary School in Palawan. Ten classrooms in five sites are already winding down construction and will be turned over soon.

GBF’s assistance does not only cover the building of classrooms but also encompasses the training of pre-school teachers, and providing them the necessary teaching tools to help their pupils be more competitive.

“We are so glad to have gone this far, especially with the help of GBF,” said Pinky Aquino Abellada, AGAPP chairperson. “We hope to help more Filipino families give their children a chance to have a brighter future.”

“We got involved in AGAPP’s Silid Pangarap project because of its noble cause – helping students have a shot at a better life through education. We are very thankful for the chance to be part of this endeavor of helping build futures, one classroom at a time,” said Lance Gokongwei, JG Summit Holdings Inc President and COO, and GBF Treasurer.

The Gokongwei Brothers Foundation was established in 1992 with the purpose of improving the socio-economic condition of Filipinos through educational programs. Apart from the partnership with AGAPP, the Foundation’s other endeavors include the GBF Technical Training Center and GBF Scholarship for Excellence.

Arnold himself experienced raising hogs during his younger days in Tondo, Manila. Coming from a family of humble means, the young Clavio had to make ends meet by helping his family raise hogs for additional income.

“It was difficult, but I don’t regret those days.  It taught me a lot about raising these animals, their true feeding needs, and how it means to be a farmer, even in the city,” he says.

Director Nelson Cruz expressed his appreciation for Clavio’s professionalism at the shoot. “At first we had our doubts if we could get him to shoot with us in far-flung farms in the provinces, given his status as an established newscaster and celebrity. But he was really easy to get along with, everyone in the set felt comfortable with him. It was a pleasure working with such a great personality,” he says.

Featured also in the new TV ad is real-life hog feed dealer and backyard raiser Sancho Bermudez, who was impressed with Clavio’s knowledge of husbandry and enthusiasm to help farmers. “He understands what raisers like me want and need when it comes to our livelihood, especially the kind of feeds we need to give to our livestock. We feel his sincerity in helping us be more passionate about our business,” he says.

For Clavio, sincerity goes hand-in-hand with public service. “I know by heart what it means to raise pigs for a living, so I want to help backyard raisers by presenting them a brand that wants the best for them and their business,” he says.

With its high-quality ingredients that deliver a well-balanced set of nutrients that ensure maximum growth and health of livestock, Uno Feeds has truly earned Clavio’s seal of approval. Just like Clavio’s solid image as a credible journalist backed by years of experience in the field, Uno Feeds is also farm tested and guaranteed for livestock-raising as it is also used by one of the country’s foremost hog and poultry raiser, Robina Farms.

Catch Uno Feeds’ newest commercial featuring TV’s newest kabalikat, Arnold Clavio, as he brings the good news to Filipino backyard hog raisers.
