Rebuilding after disaster: Most Valuable Partner

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:24:03 GMT

MANILA, Philippines - In this light, the companies owned by Manny V. Pangilinan, who had been doing various CSR projects individually, decided to unite under the banner of Tulong Kapatid, which has become the corporate social responsibility and disaster response initiative of the MVP Group of Companies.

“In any disaster, all utilities are affected,” points out Esther Santos, president of the PLDT Smart Foundation. With companies that provide basic services – like telecommunications, water, and electricity – it made sense to join forces to enable better coordination.

“Our ability to help has multiplied,” says Jeffrey Tarayao, president of One Meralco Foundation. Because of Tulong Kapatid, he adds, “We coordinate faster. The strength of each company is maximized. We are able to utilize our core competencies and help with high confidence.”

Tulong Kapatid first made its impact with a telethon on Dec. 10 last year to raise funds for the victims of Typhoon Pablo. Though the telethon was organized in only 24 hours, the collective efforts of Tulong Kapatid companies raised over P100 million in just six hours.

TEN MOVES! HANDS OVER NEW SCHOOLBUILDING FOR SENDONG SURVIVORS

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:14:22 GMT

Student survivors of Typhoon Sendong have more reasons to rejoice. On Friday, May 24, 2013, officials and representatives from CLSA Chairman's Trust and TEN Moves! formally handed over a two-storey, four classroom-building at Angelico J. Medina Memorial Elementary School, which serves the educational requirements of children in Barangay Sta. Elena, Iligan City. The newly completed school building with safe water system was happily welcomed by the school officials, faculty, students, and education and community officials of Barangay Sta. Elena.

Constructed through TEN Moves! (The Entire Nation Moves!), the school building project aims to assist Angelico J. Medina Memorial Elementary School to accommodate more students especially those affected by Typhoon Sendong. The project also seeks to enhance the learning condition of students who experienced physical and psychological trauma caused by the deluge.

As of February 2013, the Angelico J. Medina Memorial Elementary School already recorded an enrolment of 619 students, a significant increase from 399 students in 2011-2012, before Typhoon Sendong hit the area.

TEN Moves! is part of the Bayanihang Pampaaralan (BP) campaign, which aims to raise enough resources to build 10,000 classrooms in public schools nationwide. Its main strategy is to get 2 million people to donate P10 per day for 10 months.

Organizations part of the BP movement are: Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), League of Corporate Foundations (LCF), Children’s Hour, Eugenia Apostol Foundation (formerly Foundation for Worldwide People Power), Philippine Business for Education (PBEd) and Synergeia Foundation.

Negros Occidental pharmacy does its share for TB control

The Negros Grace Pharmacy is a family-owned corporation with a chain of more than 36 drugstores in the cities of Bacolod and Iloilo. What is unique about this business is its part in the implementation of the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course or DOTS referral network for tuberculosis in Bacolod City. Eight branches of the pharmacy are involved.

The local DOTS referral network aims to stimulate, increase and sustain the contribution of the private sector in addressing tuberculosis (TB) control issues. It complies with strategies and standards of the National TB Program, the International Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ISTC) and the Comprehensive and Unified Policy for Tuberculosis Control (CUP).
