Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. and the University Athletic Association of the Philippines recently launched a project whereby the top electronics firm would help the league’s eight member-schools give back to their respective chosen cause through the UAAP Assists Program.
Under the scheme, students, alumni, supporters and even UAAP fans can support their school in championing its cause.
From Aug. 24 to Oct. 14, customers who purchase select Samsung products can earn points for their chosen UAAP member-school and use the points to donate to its cause.
Customers simply need to register on the Samsung Facebook page (UAAP Assists Registration Facebook App) or through the Samsung 6th Man App (UAAP Assists Tab).
Each Samsung product has corresponding give-back points. The points have an equivalent peso value which will then be converted at the end of the promo.
The top three schools with the most number of points will be able to convert the give-back points to their monetary value and donate it to their chosen cause.
The first placer will receive 100 percent of total points to be converted to its monetary value, while the second and third will get 70 percent and 50 percent of the total points, respectively.
The UAAP schools are Adamson, Ateneo, La Salle, Far Eastern U, National U, University of the East, University of the Philippines and University of Santo Tomas.
