We launched Project New Dawn, raised more than PhP 290 million, and helped rebuild the lives of survivors through the provision of basic needs on health, education, shelter, and livelihood in Northern Cebu, Northern Iloilo, Samar, and Leyte. On project management, we have also built our grant and social investment portfolio via our partnerships with foreign funding agencies like the US Agency for International Development, Karl Kübel Stiftüng für Kind und Familie (Karl Kübel Foundation for Children and Families), The Global Fund, The International Rescue Committee, Lutheran World Relief, and the German and Australian Governments, among others. As the needs of both business and communities expanded throughout the years, corporate engagement in the Visayas has evolved and companies have likewise adopted initiatives that create shared value. Companies have found value in applying core business competencies in providing solutions to social development problems. PBSP in the Visayas was at the forefront of promoting inclusive business or IB as a strategy through the Strategic Corporate-Community Partnership Engagement or SCOPE project funded by GIZ. This allowed PBSP to pilot IB models even before inclusive business became a buzzword. As we celebrate 30 years of uplifting lives in the Visayas, we aspire to inspire a higher business sector involvement and establish a refreshed relevance in the region. Building on our years of experience, we have enhanced our strategy by investing our contributions in areas with the most need. We are making a big push to make collective impact work this coming fiscal year. Our programs on health, education, environment and livelihood are undertaken holistically to bring systemic solutions to societal problems in chosen sites and communities. We shall pursue t was in 1970 when 50 Philippine business leaders, in partnerships among multiple stakeholders bound together by the middle of a heightening crisis, sought the need a common agenda, shared metrics, and mutually reinforcing for a better country and decided that their resources interventions.

These programs also promoted a more holistic and integrated approach in how we do programs and served as an MANUEL V PANGILINAN avenue for companies to participate whether through giving or Chairman of the Board of Trustees employee engagement. Philippine Business for Social Progress 4 MESSAGE o our Visayas members, development partners, and T friends, This is a thrilling year for us: we just marked 30 years of uplifting lives in the Central Philippines through collective action. Having made it thus far, we pause to reflect on and celebrate what PBSP in the Visayas achieved, and look back at the impact made on the communities we helped through these three decades.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 14th STUDENT SESSION OF THE EUROPEAN SUMMER SCHOOL FOR LOGIC,LANGUAGE, AND INFORMATION JULY 20-31, BORDEAUX,FRANCE THOMAS ICARD (EDITOR) Preface The Student Session has been a part of the ESSLLI tradition every year since its inaugu- ral session in 1996 in Prague, making this the fourteenth. The quality of papers in these proceedings is a testament to the fact that the Student Session continues to be an excellent venue for students to present original work in quite diverse areas of logic, language, and computation. This year’s authors also comprise a very international group, with students from universities in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, and India. I would first like to thanks each of the co-chairs, as well as our distinguished area ex- perts, for all of their help in the reviewing process and organizational matters in general. Thanks are also due to the long list of generous anonymous reviewers. Other individuals who have helped on numerous counts from FoLLI and ESSLLI Organizing Committee, and from previous Student Sessions, include Ville Nurmi, Kata Balogh, Christian Retor´e, Richard Moot, Uwe M¨onnich, and especially Paul Dekker and Sophia Katrenko. As in previous years, Springer-Verlag has graciously offered prizes for ‘Best Paper’ awards, and for this we are very grateful. Finally, thanks to all those who submitted papers, as they are what really make the Student Session such an exciting event. Thomas Icard Chair of the 2009 Student Session Stanford, June 2009 ii
