Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the Philippines’ first and only world-class theme park, strengthened its enduring collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd) as it marked its 12th year of participation in Brigada Eskwela. As part of the initiative, EK formally turned over its 15th adopted kindergarten classroom to Sinalhan Elementary School in Santa Rosa, Laguna on June 5.
Brigada Eskwela is a yearly nationwide program that brings together various stakeholders to volunteer their time, skills, and resources to help public schools prepare for the start of the academic year. This year’s campaign theme, “Bayanihan Para sa Paaralan: Nagkakaisa Para sa Kaayusan at Kaalaman,” reflects EK’s own Education Program, which is dedicated to creating an engaging, secure, and inspiring learning atmosphere for students.
As part of this initiative, EK tapped its maintenance team to repair and upgrade the adopted classroom’s fixtures, while artists turned the walls into a vibrant mural featuring its Storyverse characters and the rich biodiversity of Philippines, including some of the endemic species highlighted in its award-winning attraction, AGILA The EKsperience: SARIBUHAY. The mural also highlighted EK’s five core values and ways to promote environmental responsibility among young learners.
In addition to this, the Santa Rosa-based theme park revitalized the school garden, Taniman Para sa Paaralan, where they cultivated a variety of vegetables and ornamental plants.
EK Chairman and President Cesar Mario O. Mamon expressed EK’s push to expand their reach in Brigada Eswela and deliver more enchanting and educational experiences through sustained partnerships and community engagement.
“As Enchanted Kingdom celebrates its 30th year, we continue to uphold our commitment to nurturing young minds as we extend our active participation in Brigada Eskwela in the years to come. We also look forward to further strengthening our partnership with DepEd and the City of Santa Rosa across their programs,” Mr. Mamon said.
The turnover ceremony was graced by Santa Rosa City Mayor Arlene Arcillas and Vice Mayor Arnold Arcillas, along with Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) for Santa Rosa, Hereberto Jose Miranda, CESO VI; Barangay Sinalhan Chairman Ladislao Alicbusan; Sinalhan Elementary School Principal II Benjamin Ongteco Jr.; teachers; parents; and students.
In addition to these initiatives, EK enhances the guest experience through hands-on educational activities under its Education Program. Visitors can take part in these learning opportunities while enjoying the park’s iconic rides and attractions during operating hours from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM every Friday to Sunday. Beginning June 29, the park will extend its magical operating schedule, welcoming guests from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on the same days.
