Pasig City (PIA) — A Korean company donated digital pianos and metallic boards for distribution to elementary schools across the National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and Southern Tagalog regions.

Some 5,000 digital pianos and 50,000 metallic boards were recently turned over to the Department of Education (DepEd) by South Korean Booyoung Company.

Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Lusitro FSC, in a statement said despite the shipment cost, the department will ensure able to distribute the digital pianos and metallic boards to intended beneficiaries to improve music education among primary school students.

“As we continue to distribute the digital pianos to many other schools, at least 5,000 elementary schools and at least 50,000 metallic boards to our learners, we are certain that the music of both Filipinos and Koreans will resound so much better in the world allowing us to create a whole new global community where we are all brothers and sisters,” Luistro said.

“Hopefully, the first note and the music that we will start will be one through the kindness and generosity of the Booyoung Company,” Luistro added.

Booyoung Company Chairman Dr. Lee Joong-Keun emphasized his belief in education and has been exerting efforts to providing children all over the globe the learning environment that they deserve.

“We hope that this donation could contribute to the development of the educational infrastructure of the Philippines to help the children grow to be the leader of national economic development,” Joong-Keun said

We will do our best to contribute to expand cultural interchange with all of the world, and pay more attention to improvement of educational environment and support to help the future generation to grow up as a global leader,” Joong-Keun added.

The project also aims to reaffirm the friendship of the Philippines and the Republic of Korea, that was established during the end of the Korean war in the 1950s. Discussion on the donation began in 2014 between the two parties and was assisted by the Korean Embassy of the Philippines. (DepEd/RJB/SDL/PIA-NCR)
