Beyond Banking: BDO’s Nation-Building Initiatives
BDO Unibank isn’t just about banking—it’s about building a better future for Filipinos. Through strategic partnerships and corporate social responsibility programs, BDO actively supports education, trade, sustainability, and community growth. BDO’s nation-building initiatives create lasting opportunities in education, investment, and green finance while empowering overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and local communities.
Empowering the Next Generation: Education and Youth Development
The BDO Foundation funds a two-year program to help 3,000 out-of-school youth in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). This initiative provides these students with a second chance to reintegrate into education or gain employable skills.
Additionally, BDO partners with UNICEF Philippines to offer learning opportunities for underprivileged youth. This effort addresses the high illiteracy rate in BARMM and ensures that more adolescents have access to quality education. By working with local governments, BDO makes sure these programs last. Strengthening the Alternative Learning System (ALS) is just one way BDO’s nation-building initiatives help shape the next generation.
