The Big 4 Surprises: Suntrust’s Kindness Initiative
July 10, 2025

Birthdays are more than just celebrations of life—they are also opportunities to reflect on the values we hold dear. At Suntrust, the leadership of President Atty. Harrison M. Paltongan continues to inspire a culture of kindness, compassion, and integrity. Guided by his example, Suntrustees marked his birthday with four meaningful initiatives, giving back to the communities that matter most to him.
Seeds of Hope in Baguio City
On June 17, 2025, Suntrust spearheaded a tree planting campaign in Bayan Park, Baguio City alongside the Baguio City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO). The group planted a total of 180 seedlings and donated shovels and gardening equipment in support for the city’s environmental efforts.
Beyond building homes, Suntrust is committed to nurturing greener and more sustainable communities for Filipino families.
Knowledge on Wheels in Sta. Ana, Manila
Inspired by Atty Paltongan's love for learning, Suntrustees donated a mobile library filled with a wide collection of books to Sta. Ana Elementary School on June 23, 2025. More than just Print on paper, these books serve as the guiding light to the children towards their brilliant future.
This initiative reflects Suntrust's belief in building more than homes—we strive to help build brighter futures, one book and one child at a time.
Sharing Malasakit in Negros and Davao
Suntrustees also took part in community drives for the members of the Do Mus Dei Hospice and St. John Vianey Hospice in Negros and the Co Su Gian Home for the Aged in Davao on June 23 and 24, 2025. Items such as Milk, Emergency Supplies, Adult Diapers, and Cleaning Materials were donated to these organizations.
These heartfelt efforts are rooted in malasakit—a core Suntrust value that goes beyond charity and into genuine care for others. Wherever people are in life’s journey, Suntrust is there, offering support with a helping hand.
A Simple Birthday Treat in Taguig
As a unique way of celebrating Atty. Paltongan’s birthday, Suntrustees threw a simple yet heartfelt Mcdonald’s party celebration on June 25, 2025 as a surprise. It was attended by Sales Leaders, Managers, and the Executive Committee. The few hours spent in the celebration was filled with laughter and joy as the attendees participated in various games and activities that took them back to their childhoods.
The initiatives accomplished by Suntrust exemplifies the spirit of generosity and kindness that Atty. Paltongan has consistently demonstrated and defined within the company. These efforts strengthen Suntrust’s position as the ideal partner for Filipinos in being the bridge to a better future—through a positive and lasting impact to the local communities.
