MANILA, Philippines — Villar-owned AllHome has turned over newly renovated school facilities to the Pulanlupa Elementary School-Camella Annex, a public school in Las Piñas, a city where the Villars are based and where many of their businesses have grown.
AllHome vice chairman Camille Villar, daughter of real estate tycoon Manuel Villar Jr., said the project with Pulanlupa Elementary School was the company’s contribution to help in the recovery of schools from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Education is a cause and that is truly close to my heart, one that shares the values of AllHome as an organization. This initiative we undertook for the Pulanlupa Elementary School is our way to take that first step to inspire the recovery of all our schools from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Villar.
Villar is currently district representative of the lone district of Las Piñas. She is also a deputy speaker.
AllHome renovated the school’s multipurpose hall, donating airconditioning units, monobloc chairs and painting materials.
Through AllHome Builds, All Home wants to improve the quality of education in the communities that it is part of.
All Home is the Villar Group’s listed one-stop home needs network.
It is targeting to open 100 stores all over the country by 2026.
For this year alone, AllHome is set to add a minimum of eight new stores, all featuring bigger retail spaces.
During the pandemic, the company ramped up the e-commerce component of its business with various initiatives including partnerships with on-demand delivery providers as it expects online consumer demand to continue.
