INCREASED INCENTIVES FOR OUTSTANDING FILIPINOS
 In support of its continuing commitment to recognize, honor and nurture excellence among Filipinos, Metrobank Foundation will be raising the cash incentives for their awards programs in education, public service and the arts.
According to Foundation president Aniceto Sobrepeña, the prize adjustment is in line with Metrobank Group chairman Dr. George SK Ty’s directive to strengthen efforts to encourage Filipinos to constantly strive for excellence and work towards the greater goal of nation-building.
Beginning 2008, the cash prizes for the following programs are as follows: P300,000 for the Search for Outstanding Teachers (SOT), and P250,000 for The Outstanding Philippine Soldiers (TOPS) and the Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service (COPS). The incentives for winners of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) national competition will also be increased accordingly.
Through the years, Metrobank Foundation has been widely acknowledged for its credible and effective management of excellence awards programs. The Foundation has won over twenty five awards for its various programs, including three international recognitions – the latest being “Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program” from Asian Banking and Finance magazine’s inaugural Retail Banking Awards.
The Metrobank Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of the Metrobank Group. Over the last 28 years, it has promoted a culture of excellence among Filipinos through its various programs notably the Search for Outstanding Teachers, the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence, The Outstanding Philippine Soldiers, Country’s Outstanding Policemen in Service, the Metrobank Math Challenge, and College Scholarship Program. The Foundation also has a grants program that assists NGOs and government in the fields of education, healthcare, and the arts. Metrobank Foundation celebrates Filipino excellence and presents wellsprings of hope in the future of our nation.
