PTC-CSJ Foundation has adopted Sucat Elementary School-Main (SESM) as its third partner-school in Muntinlupa City for its flagship Growing Good to Great Kids or 3G Program, effective School Year 2016-2017.
The 3G Program is an integrated approach to basic education that includes nutrition enhancement for malnourished pupils, learning enrichment in arts and reading, sports development through baseball, and training for teachers and parents.
The program was formally launched at SESM on July 19, 2016, by the Foundation’s President, Mrs. Carla S. Limcaoco, and Executive Director, Ms. Flory A. Tabio.

In her speech, Mrs. Limcaoco highlighted how her father, PTC and PTC-CSJ founder Mr. Carlos C. Salinas, has always believed in education as a means to improve one’s condition in life. She emphasized that "we need the support of everyone – teachers, parents, and the students themselves – to make sure that students shall indeed benefit from all education efforts, including the 3G Program."
In response, SESM’s new Principal, Mr. Antonio Gagala, expressed the school's commitment to continue working with the Foundation and other stakeholders in pursuing education outcomes.
The Foundation initiated the 3G Program in 2010 and implements it in two other Muntinlupa public elementary schools: Bayanan Elementary School-Main (BESM) and Lakeview Elementary School (LES). The program is implemented in partnership with Synergeia Foundation, Junior Baseball Softball Foundation of the Philippines (JBSFP), DepEd-Muntinlupa Schools Division Office, and the participating schools.
