We are One Meralco for Balik Eskwela 2025!
More than 6,000 students from public schools within Meralco’s franchise area will receive Balik Eskwela kits this year after One Meralco Foundation (OMF), together with employees of Meralco and its subsidiaries, raised funds together and help prepare learners for a new school year. The donations this year almost doubled the beneficiaries of the back-to-school initiative in 2024.
Through OMF’s Balik Eskwela program, students will receive customized backpacks with story books, a set of alphabet flash cards, a tracing workbook, a pencil case with pencils, and a box of crayons to help enrich the literacy of Filipino students.

The Meralco Employees Fund for Charity, Inc (MEFCI), National Book Store Foundation, Inc., MPower, Vantage Energy, Meralco PowerGen (MGEN), Miescor Logistics Inc. (MLI), and Meralco Customer Retail Services stands as Champion Donors, while CEDC - Clark Electric Distribution Corporation and Meralco Employees Savings and Loan Association Inc.
