Muntinlupa National HS students receive Rizalian gifts from RCBC

Seeking to help instill a sense of nationalism among the youth, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) recently participated in this year’s Buhay Rizal Values Campaign of its parent conglomerate, the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC).  Bank officers and YGC executives visited Muntinlupa National High School (MNHS) and distributed more than 2,000 copies of Rizal’s masterpiece novel, Noli Me Tangere, which is a required reading for all 3rd year high school students. Since 2008, the YGC’s Buhay Rizal campaign has been instilling positive personal and patriotic values among the youth and general public through various activities that also include renovating and beautifying Rizal monuments in key cities nationwide. Under its book donation program, more than 35,000 copies of Rizal’s novel have already been distributed to various partner schools all over the country.  Photo shows (from left): National Artist for Literature Dr. Virgilio S.
