Livelihood
The Foundation encourages entrepreneurship for people to find innovative means of
generating their own livelihood in a responsible and sustainable manner. Starting with
enabling housewives with skills in basic sewing, and organic farming, the Foundation
has helped set up families around its project sites in ensuring a steady source of income.
A flagship project is the Engineering Excellence Tech-Voc Training Center, aimed at
training workers and laborers both on and off-site. While another is intended for juvenile
delinquents and out-of-school youth who will be provided with equipment and tools for
a training program focusing on basic carpentry and construction work, and eventually,
gain skills necessary for gainful employment.
Safety and Environment
The Foundation believes in the health and well-being of its stakeholders and the
environment. It continues to support climate change mitigation efforts that include
promoting renewable energy sources. The Foundation encourages the propagation and
planting of indigenous trees and mangroves through the Building Green program and
has conducted tree-planting activities in schools and public places.
The Foundation has also adopted a 5-hectare portion of the Marikina Watershed site
where employee volunteers commit to plant and grow more than 3000 trees over a
three-year period.
On safety and well-being, the Foundation continues to participate actively in disaster
and relief operations, and in emergency preparedness. We also conduct periodic
medical missions and feeding programs in the communities where we operate.
