50 employees from the Standard Chartered Bank Phillippines will be visiting the Standard Chartered Aeta School in San Martin, Bamban, Tarlac. This is one of their outreach programs in which they will give away toiletries and groceries packs for the family of each Aeta pupil. After mingling with the children, there will be a dialogue between the guests and the Aeta community concerning problems, etc. Present during the dialogue will be the tribal leaders, Standard Chartered staff, NCIP staff, the regional director plus the teachers. ABS-CBN will cover the entire event. To welcome the guests, the Aetas will perform a song and dance number. The Aeta community will also have the chance to sell their products to our guests.
