Intel Philippines has done so much for the welfare and improvement of education in the Philippines. Recently, I read the tech giant has turned over approximately P80 million to DepEd Sec. Jesli Lapus for the 31 public schools in Gen. Trias, Cavite. They were also pivotal in the operations of the Philippine National Red Cross for developing a technology that will help it quickly respond to disasters. Having said all of these, I personally think that Intel¹s closing down of its Cavite plant would be a very big loss and a sentimental occasion for all the people whose lives were changed in one way or another by the company. Cheesy as it may sound but Intel has given a spark of hope for every Filipino and every Filipino child who was given a chance for a better and up to date kind of schooling.
