Coca-Cola continues its commitment with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines

True to its decade long partnership and in celebration of 100 years in the Philippines, Coca-Cola Philippines continues to support the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) in promoting environmental stewardship and leadership among the youth. Coca-Cola Philippines renews its partnership of two major programs in the next five years (2012 - 2016); The Search for the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines (TOBS) program - an annual event that bestows awards to impressive individuals in the Scouting community, and Green is Go! Go for the Real Thing! Project - a nationwide tree planting program launched in 2004.

 

Coca-Cola Philippines’ continued support of BSP’s two major projects is the company’s way to help promote inspiration and participation in BSP’s 2 million scouts; as both organizations share the same principle of helping hand and helping others. The TOBS program highlights the winners of the award as sources of inspiration and emulation for the scouts, while Green is Go! Go for the Real Thing! Project is BSP’s response to the Philippines’ pressing deforestation problem.

 

The MOA signing was led by Mr. J Rizal Pangilinan, Secretary General of the BSP. Representing Coca-Cola Philippines were Franchise & Commercial Leadership Director, Mr. Peter Schelstraete, and Gilda Maquilan of the Public Affairs and Communication department.
