MANILA, PHILIPPINES – PHINMA Education Holdings (PEHI), an institution known for providing accessible and quality education to the youth, specifically those from low-income families, extends its network’s mission to the South Luzon market with its acquisitions of two new schools: PHINMA Union College of Laguna (UCL) and PHINMA Rizal College of Laguna (RCL).
The announcement was made formal on April 25, 2023, at the Calamba Tent during the PHINMA Ed RCL & UCL Partners’ Launch, which jumpstarts #TAYÓTAYOLaguna: Bayani Para Sa Isa’t Isa, a campaign that highlights its commitment to nurture a new batch of heroes capable of improving not just their own lives, but also the lives of their families, communities, the country, and the world through accessible quality education.
In line with this, to emphasize its commitment to the Laguna community, PHINMA Education, through PHINMA RCL and PHINMA UCL, is launching bayanihan initiatives that aim to enhance the facilities of major national high schools in Calamba and Sta. Cruz. This will be done in partnership with Renovate to Educate (rED), a non-government organization whose goal is to enhance the educational experience of students through school renovation projects.
Eduardo Arevalo, Chief Operating Officer of PHINMA Education Laguna Network Laguna, shared, “We are humbled and honored at the opportunity to foster the values that Laguna, the cradle of our national hero, is known for. This makes us all the more determined to deliver our brand of accessible, quality education for as many Lagunenses as possible, so that we might keep the spirit of bayanihan alive among the youth by empowering them to become positive forces in their homes, communities, our country, and wherever they go in the world.”
“PHINMA RCL and UCL commit to continuously finding ways to deliver student-centered, inclusive, and effective learning for our students. However, fulfilling our goal of giving more kids a chance at a better life is not something that we can do on our own,” Eduardo continued. “ We are fortunate to share the same dream with Laguna’s leaders and influencers, along with organizations like Renovate to Educate. Together we look forward to a sustained and concerted effort to develop new, young heroes in our midst.”
PHINMA RCL and PHINMA UCL join PHINMA’s growing roster of Philippine academic establishments, which includes PHINMA Araullo University, PHINMA Cagayan de Oro College, PHINMA University of Iloilo, PHINMA University of Pangasinan, Southwestern University PHINMA, and PHINMA St. Jude College, and PHINMA Republican College Manila and Quezon City Campus.
