EastWest Rural Bank and EastWest Unibank sponsored the National Teachers’ Day event hosted by the Department of Education (DepEd) as part of the 2024 National Teachers’ Month (NTM) celebration. The event took place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City last Thursday, October 3. The event is the culmination of the DepEd’s month-long campaign to honor the contributions of educators across the nation. With around 10,000 teachers and educational stakeholders in attendance, the day featured a variety of activities, including Zumba, heartfelt tributes to teachers, raffle prizes, and lively entertainment.
Donny Pangilinan, EastWest’s EasyWay ambassador, surprises and delights the audience with a special performance during National Teachers’ Day, paying tribute to educators and promoting his advocacy for financial literacy and education. His presence made the celebration even more memorable for the 10,000 teachers in attendance.
A special highlight of the day was the surprise visit and performance by Donny Pangilinan, ambassador of EastWest’s newest digital banking platform EasyWay. Donny’s commitment to financial literacy, which aligns with his personal values, made his tribute even more meaningful.
