Last October 1 CitySavings' 106 branches nationwide offered special snacks, goodies , personalized bookmarks and button pins to teacher-clients, which was the bank's simple way to give honor to the teaching profession and to its major stakeholders – the public school teachers.

"Deep in my heart, as a teacher, I'm thankful that I took things smoothly everyday with people, especially my students. I'm eager to learn more and continue sharing my journey of teaching to serve them. A good, trusted, easy and simple way of banking, thank you CitySavings for your services." - Ma. Liza Bersabal from Commissioner Luis Asis HS, Panay, Capiz

CitySavings also participated in the MEGA Cebu Month "My Mega Ma'am/Sir" in partnership with the Coalition for Better Education and Mega Cebu last September 30. The competition was open for all teachers both in private and public schools and was judged according to the number of FB likes and results of a panel interview conducted to each of the nominees. The Mega Ma'am Champion Dr. Rubilyn Pastrano from Punta Engano Elementary School and other winners were awarded last September 30, 2016 at the Ayala Terraces Cebu by Reputation Management Head Paula Ruelan together with DepEd Regional Director Juliet A. Jeruta, Ph. D.
