AXA Philippines, one of the leading insurance companies in the country, recently held a basketball clinic for children ages 5-13 in partnership with the University of Makati and the Makati Youth Development Center.
Nearly 40 kids, representing three different barangays in Makati, participated in the training session which culminated in a friendly game. AXA chose the 10 most outstanding players from the group, and will support them as they participate in the Jr. NBA Philippines 2018 presented by Alaska — the NBA’s global youth development program that promotes basketball participation, sportsmanship, teamwork, and an active lifestyle.
AXA Philippines, through its corporate social responsibility arm, continuously spearheads and participates in similar development activities to help empower communities to live better lives.

Essilor Vision Foundation (EVF)’s Eye Can Succeed campaign had another successful run at the Higher School ng University of Makati (HSU). During the event, EVF staff examined the eyesight of more than 6,000 HSU students in grades 11 and 12. Prescription glasses were also distributed to those in need.
The event was also made possible with the help of volunteer optometrists and HSU students led by Dean Engr. Estrella Chan (third from left). The advocacy is set to visit other public high schools in Metro Manila and targets to provide free eye check up and prescription glasses to 10,000 Filipino senior high school students so they can pursue higher education and achieve success through better vision.
