TAGUIG CITY, PHILIPPINES, October 27, 2025 — From what used to be an ordinary classroom now stands a bright, inspiring space for discovery as leading home improvement retailer MR.DIY Philippines officially turned over its first-ever Science Room for the young learners of Ciriaco P. Tinga Elementary School in Taguig City.
The ceremony marks the culmination of MR.DIY’s 800th Store Milestone Celebration, with the theme “Close to Home, Closer to Heart” — underscoring the brand’s commitment to giving back to the communities it serves.
The event also featured fun games for students and a special appearance of MR.DIY’s panda mascot, along with the distribution of the MR.DIY Science Kits, led by MR.DIY’s Head of Retail Marketing Charles Salecina, an alumnus of C.P.T Elementary School.
To mark the occasion, MR.DIY executives, led by its Chief Executive Officer Roselle B. Andaya, school officials and representatives from the Schools Division of Taguig & Pateros also unveiled the ceremonial marker, dedicating the MR.DIY Science Room to the learners and educators of C.P.T Elementary School.
In her opening remarks, MR.DIY Philippines Chief Executive Officer Roselle B. Andaya expressed her gratitude and pride in the shared effort that made the project possible:
“Your guidance, expertise, and unwavering advocacy for education and youth development have helped us create a space where everyone’s unique strengths can truly shine,” she said.
“This Science Room stands as a symbol of what we can achieve together — when we combine purpose, partnership, and the genuine desire to uplift communities.”
Last September, employee volunteers from MR.DIY went to work and transformed the classroom into a functional science room for elementary students.
Apart from improving the classroom’s interior, volunteers packed 800 MR.DIY Science Kits, and witnessed the installation of essential laboratory furnishings and air conditioning units to make the space more conducive to learning.
For the students of Ciriaco P. Tinga Elementary School, the new MR.DIY Science Room is more than just a learning facility — it’s a promise of possibility. It’s a place where experiments ignite imagination, and where every learning opportunity becomes a bridge to dreams.
As for MR.DIY, more than another milestone, it reinforces its commitment to make everyday living — and learning — simple, joyful, and complete.
