PRESS RELEASE:
Manila, Philippines — DepEd recognizes I am MAD as ‘MATATAG’ partner supporting learners and teachers!
The Department of Education (DepEd) recognizes more than a hundred partner groups nationwide including nonprofit, volunteer-powered group, I am MAD (Making A Difference) Volunteers Inc.. The recognition centers on the organization’s support and intervention in the country’s basic education under its ‘MATATAG’ Agenda, held on the 20th of February 2024 at the GSIS Theater in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
DepEd specifically recognized I am MAD as one of the agency’s outstanding civil society partners. Maco Ravanzo, Chief Executive Volunteer and Wino Dela Cruz, Chief of Volunteer Programs and Communication received the award handed by the Vice President of the Philippines and Department of Education Secretary, Sara Z. Duterte.
The award cited I am MAD for its “unwavering commitment, exceptional collaboration and invaluable contribution in support of the MATATAG Agenda for the DepEd Basic Education Development Plan, helping DepEd fulfill its mandate in providing quality basic education to all learners. This recognition from DepEd is a testament to our never-ending passion to make a difference in the lives of our learners,” Ravanzo expressed. He also reflected on the challenges of establishing the organization’s identity and proving its intentions in the past, contrasting it with its current standing alongside established institutions in the field of education, social services and advocacy.
Coincidentally, I am MAD is one of the partner organizations of TNC’s advocacy, Global Women Who RULE or GWWR — a women empowerment #DigitalForGood movement and a growing online community with Education as one of its 4 growth pillars. Noting that Iam MAD, the organization also had a dynamic weekly show on TNC which promotes ‘having fun while helping others’ called Chill and Charity Fridays.
