Binay lauds BDO employees for volunteer work in Makati-GK project

MANILA, May 4 (PNA) - Makati Mayor Jejomar C. Binay on Sunday lauded employees of Banco de Oro (BDO) who have volunteered to render community service at the Makati-Gawad Kalinga (GK) Community Development Project located in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan for 10 Saturdays.

Binay said around 35 to 50 BDO employees have participated every Saturday in building 28 houses sponsored by the BDO Foundation in a portion of the 3.2-hectare property acquired by the city government in Brgy. Kay Pian in the said city starting May 2.

“The city government and the people of Makati are truly grateful to the volunteers from BDO for their willingness to help build homes for homeless families. Their selfless act will go a long way in the realization of our dream of a livable and sustainable community for our less fortunate residents,” Binay said.

BDO Foundation is by far the biggest donor with its P2.8 million donation to the project, dubbed “Dreamlandville.”
