Fortune Life Insurance Company is honored to have received a token of appreciation from Education Secretary Sonny Angara at the Department of Education (DepEd) Partners’ Appreciation and Recognition event held on December 16, 2024, at the prestigious Maynila Ballroom of The Manila Hotel.

With the theme “Pasasalamat at Pagpupugay,” DepEd honored its valued partners for their unwavering support in advancing the nation’s educational programs.

Further, Secretary Angara lauded the collaboration of partners and highlighted his vision for the country’s education as he expressed, “To our partners, their voices are a testament to what can be achieved when we come together.  You are the reason these voices are filled with gratitude and with hope. As we honor you, our partners, we also renew our commitment. Our goal is not simply to make small, incremental changes — it is to transform education in the Philippines into a system that uplifts every learner, a system that empowers the next generation to become innovators, to become leaders, to become change-makers.”
