Last February 21 and 22, 2012, a back-to-back school building turnover happened at GSC SPED Integrated Campus and Banisil National High school respectively.

This one of a kind event was initiated by SM Prime Holdings Inc., SM Foundation Inc. and BDO.

To give you a background of these three giant entities...

It is a full-service universal bank providing a wide range of corporate, commercial, retail and investment banking services through its 717 branches in key business and commercial areas, nationwide.

Although it rained on the first part of the program, the Turnover Ceremony went well. It is just a great feeling to see the smiles of the students and their teachers. Such scene is just priceless.
