The Metrobank Foundation, through the Network of Outstanding Teachers and Educators, Inc.

NOTED is a professional organization composed of past awardees of Metrobank Foundation’s Search for Outstanding Teachers (SOT).
Project COMSET is a 5-day intensive training program for teachers to enhance their English communication skills particularly in writing and speaking. It will be held from October 22 to 26, 2007.
The Project for Taguig was formally launched on October 17, 2007 through a signing of the Project’s Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) by Hon. Mayor Sigfrido R. Tiñga, MBFI President Aniceto M. Sobrepeña and COMSET Project Director Elena C. Cutiongco. Also present were Taguig City Vice-Mayor Atty. George A. Elias, MBFI Executive Vice-President Elvira Ong-Chan, and Taguig/Pateros Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Norma A. Adamos.
“The partnership is a testament to our continuing commitment to help our government and like-minded groups in improving the quality of teaching and education in our country,” Sobrepeña said. Committed to pursue excellence in education, MBFI pledged to continue to make relevant and meaningful contributions to social development and nation building.
