TECNO Mobile Donates Cash and Smartphones to Local Community Heroes

TECNO Mobile - Project Malasakit

TECNO Mobile completed its first CSR campaign in the Philippines. It was done to give back to the community following the successful release of several new mobile phone models in the country. This includes the Spark 7 series, Pova 2 gaming phone, and the CAMON 17 series.

The selection of local heroes as beneficiaries for the campaign aligns perfectly with the reel and real-time heroism of TECNO Mobile’s CAMON 17 brand ambassador, Chris Evans.

Three partner beneficiaries were the recipients of donations made by TECNO Mobile for this CSR campaign- Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish, Project Malasakit, and the City of Manila through the Office of Mayor Isko Moreno. Separate handover ceremonies were held for each of the beneficiaries, the first was held on July 13 at the Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish Area.

The second handover ceremony took place on July 13 with Project Malasakit as the beneficiary.

30 TECNO Mobile smartphones and PHP 100,000 were given to Project Malasakit. It was received by its founder Kara David, together with two of her scholars, Lilian Ambrocio and Mauwe Liwanag.

The final donation handover took place on August 6 at the Office of Manila City Mayor, Isko Moreno. He is known for his service to the local community, aided by his volunteer workers.
