Top car care brand Prestone knew it was best to celebrate its 90th anniversary in the country by giving back to Auto Mechanics–and what better way to do it than to provide education and a brighter future for top scholars across the country.
Centering on the efforts of both students and their parents in braving the rigors of studying despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Prestone Philippines launched the “Anak ng Mekaniko” Scholarship Program in partnership with Clorox International Philippines and STI College.
Primarily, the project was a nationwide search to find the brightest students raised by parents who were mechanics by profession.
Earlier this month, Prestone held the awarding ceremony to recognize its chosen graduates and their families.

According to Paulo Lao’s speech, each of the scholars represented one decade of the company’s growth, culminating to the company’s nine decades in the country.
