Sterling Bank of Asia (SBA) has selected San Juan City’s Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) as one of this year’s beneficiaries of their annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, the Kind Heart Gives Campaign. Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) of San Juan City’s BJMP showcased their craftsmanship in their parolmaking project, which also serves as an opportunity for them to support themselves and their families financially.  The  “parol,”  which  is  one  of  the  most  iconic  symbols  of  Filipino  Christmas,  is  a  staple decoration  in  most  houses. “The  parol  is  a  great  expression  of  the  Filipinos’  faith  and  hope,”  said  Cecilio  San  Pedro,  SBA’s  President and  CEO.  “We’d  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  extend  our  support  to  the  PDL’s  of  San  Juan  City  as  we move towards  a brighter  Christmas  celebration  in  these  challenging  times,”  San  Pedro  added. During  the  announcement  of  the  activity,  Sterling  Bank  of  Asia  employees  also  ordered  their  own  parols to  bring  home  and  hang  in  their  homes.   “It  is  inspiring  to  see  how  our  fellow  employees  happily  bought  their  own  parols  as  a  way  of  helping these  persons  deprived  of  liberty,”  said  Dulce  Edillor,  SBA’s  Human  Resources  Group  Head.  “From  a company-led  initiative,  our  fellow  employees  voluntarily  involved  themselves  in  the  project,”  exclaimed Edillor.
