M Lhuillier Brings Water System to Dupitac Elementary

September 7, 2026

For a school community, access to clean and reliable water is more than a convenience; it is an essential part of creating a safe and supportive learning environment. On July 21, 2026, M Lhuillier, through OPEC Ilocandia, made a meaningful contribution to Dupitac Elementary School in Piddig, Ilocos Norte, by donating a water system to help meet the daily needs of its learners and teachers. The OPEC Ilocandia team was warmly welcomed by the school community, led by School Head Mr. Daniel Larry Cortez Aquino, as students and teachers gathered for the special occasion.

The activity began with a heartfelt welcome address from the school head, followed by a lively performance from the students. Their energy and enthusiasm filled the school with excitement, creating a memorable atmosphere for everyone present. The M Lhuillier employees also joined in the celebration, sharing their own dance number with the students and teachers. More than simply a performance, the moment reflected the genuine connection built between M Lhuillier and the school community.

The highlight of the gathering was the formal turnover of the donated water system to Dupitac Elementary School. The project is intended to provide a more accessible and dependable water source for the school, supporting the everyday activities of both learners and teachers. Along with the water system, M Lhuillier also gave every pupil a school bag and a T-shirt, adding another layer of joy to an already meaningful day. The simple gifts brought smiles to the students and made the occasion even more special.

More than a donation, the activity served as a reminder of the impact that meaningful community initiatives can create. From providing a much-needed water system to sharing moments of joy with the students, M Lhuillier continues to support communities through programs that respond to their needs and bring people closer together. At Dupitac Elementary School, the day ended with gratitude, excitement, and countless smiles, reflecting M Lhuillier's commitment to being “Ang Tulay ng PaMLyang Pilipino.”
