Angat Buhay team met with the Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), and the Makati Business Club (MBC)

Ngayong araw, nakipagpulong ang Angat Buhay team sa Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), at Makati Business Club, Inc. (MBC) para talakayin kung paano tayo makikibahagi sa inilunsad nilang Shared Prosperity Through a People-Centered Agenda for Nutrition and Education.

Tinututukan ng nasabing inisiyatibo ang edukasyon at nutrisyon, na dalawang advocacy areas rin ng Angat Buhay. Sa pulong, nagbahagi ang mga organisasyon ng mga best practices, kasalukuyang mga proyekto, at mga mungkahi kung paano masosolusyonan ang mga suliranin tulad ng malnutrisyon at mababang kalidad ng edukasyon.

Binigyang-diin ni Angat Buhay chairperson Atty. Leni Robredo na kailangan ng agarang aksyon, partikular na sa pagtugon sa education crisis ng bansa. Ayon sa kanya, magiging pinaka-mabisa ang pakikipagtulungan ng pribadong sektor sa pamahalaan kung aktibo ang pakikibahagi ng bawat isa, base sa kani-kanilang kalakasan at kaalaman.

Nakikiisa at handang makibahagi ang Angat Buhay sa mga layunin ng Shared Prosperity Agenda.

Nakasama natin ngayong hapon sina PBSP president Rey Laguda at executive director Elvin Uy; MBC executive director Coco Alcuaz; PBEd deputy executive director Diane Fajardo, policy and advocacy manager Marco de los Reyes, at Hanibal Camua ng YouthWorks PH.
