Half a century ago, Philippine Business for Social Progress was built on this simple but visionary premise —there exists an inextricable bond between the needs of society and the interests of business. We owe our founders an inestimable debt of gratitude for originating this seminal vision—long before corporate social responsibility became part of our business vocabulary. Now, businesses look beyond their balance sheets, and accept that its responsibilities to society transcends its traditional role of providing goods and services for a profit.
DURABILITY OF VISION
My anniversary remarks cannot escape referencing COVID-19. It does not happen often that these landmark anniversaries occur, and institutions are besieged with serious existential P issues. PBSP’s 50th has come at such a time. If anything, this crisis has given us a chance to answer the question of what PBSP’s purpose may be in such times – not with words, but with deeds.
EVOLUTION AND CHANGES
But PBSP’s tasks have evolved to adapt to the times.
PBSP is no longer alone. The passage of time has seen the birth of many other foundations of companies established for their own purpose. That evolution has re-defined who we are: B First, PBSP is not a charitable institution—our tasks may begin by delivering relief goods in disasters, by helping provide power and water in remote communities, by building classrooms for our needy students. But they go beyond immediate help. We must rebuild and improve over the long-time. More importantly, we must encourage, and inspire our people and communities to become self-starters, self-sufficient and self-determining— the proverbial teaching how to fish.
We precisely need to instill the notions of progress and improvement in our people. One of our founders, Ambassador Bienvenido Tan, Jr., has S emphasized that it is only when communities have become self-sufficient, can we say that PBSP has attained a measure of success.
Second, as an institution built by business, PBSP has deployed the disciplines of business. We believe that our most lasting contribution is not only through our financial help, but with the application of business’s competencies to the work at hand.
Andres Soriano III, our past Chairman, highlighted that the business’ ability to pool resources, plan and carry out practical
ANNUAL REPORT P 13 2020 SHAPING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE
objectives, prepare for the future, and foster the spirit of enterprise should be an integral part of our social development goals, and programs.
Third, poverty is the enemy. The elaboration of business’ role into a wider ambit to enhance profit, planet and people can best be effected if people are simply not poor. In my view, poverty should take center stage to PBSP. Inspiring our people to be positive and progressive can best be realized if we make livelihood opportunities available widely to them.
CONCLUSION:
Let me close with this theme of poverty very much in mind.
India’s first Prime Minister Nehru captured the essence of what we all should strive to achieve as we build this nation. Nehru said, in August 1947, on the eve of Indian independence and soon after the assassination of his mentor, Mahatma Gandhi, and I quote, “The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means ending poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, our work will not be over.”
Whilst our work in our country is indeed far from over, may we all at PBSP all resolve to wipe every tear-in every eye-of every filipino.
Thank you to all the men and women of PBSP, past and present, for your service. Yours is a great and noble task.
Manuel V Pangilinan Chairman of the Board
FIFTY AND BEYOND: PBSP TOWARDS A BETTER WORLD 14 SHAPING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The year 2020 was marked with challenges that we never thought we would have to face. Our country was rocked with several calamities that destroyed the homes of thousands of Filipinos. The pandemic brought about by the COVID-19 virus affected millions. All sectors of society, including the business sector and the social development sector, were not spared from the effects of the pandemic.
But these challenges showed us the strength of PBSP. Our fifty years in the social development sector has given us the experience and the track record that we needed to adapt to the difficulties that confront our country. Our endeavor to lead the business sector in uplifting the lives of Filipinos and empowering communities have yielded fruits that continue to inspire and motivate us to improve our work. We made changes to how we do things and how we define the value of PBSP. We continuously reflected on our shortcomings and best practices to develop strategies that would help us move forward as a stronger and better organization.
The fiscal year has shown us how much we have grown as an organization. First, it showed us the strength of our membership. Second, it highlighted our ability to adapt and innovate in the middle of a crisis. Third, it renewed our perspective in the power of collectively working together.
We are gratified to have a strong membership committed to the empowerment of the poor and self-reliance of communities. Our member companies have a clear understanding of their role and responsibility in social development.
Throughout the year, our member companies actively supported our campaigns and initiatives to help sectors greatly affected by the pandemic and calamities. It is important to highlight that our member companies were not spared from the effects of the pandemic. They too experienced setbacks in their operations and incurred losses.

2020 was a tough year for all of us. We recognize this very challenging period the country and the world is into that threw most of us, especially in the business sector, off-balance in the past 9 months.
But in spite of this, we would like to express gratitude for the overwhelming support of our members and partners in our fund-raising efforts, with Bayanihan Musikahan, to be able to provide PPEs to frontliners, support to Local Government Units’ quarantine centers, assistance to learning continuity initiatives and food packs to families severely-impacted by COVID-19 and recently, the typhoons that beset the country.
With most projects suspended in the middle of the year, many companies have allowed us to innovate and redesign the projects to be able to implement these in the new normal --- for instance, our supplementary feeding projects have shifted to weekly vegetable packs for the students. Our Ready for School activities have focused on provision of reproduction materials for the student modules and the distribution of phone load allowances for teachers. Reforestation projects have also been enhanced with provision of vegetable seeds inputs for our partner farmers. Employee volunteering has also shifted to online mentoring activities.
This year, we also worked with a lot of other NGOs and civil society groups and significantly pushed multi-sectoral partnerships to complement our resources and expertise. By leveraging the strengths of our collaborators, we have facilitated scale up and have increased our impact in our communities. This has been the case with our pilot livelihood projects to address the impacts of COVID-19 like Mask4AllPH and Super Carinderia.
As we enter our 50th year, we continue to work together to keep our commitment to fight poverty reduction. Let us be fired with the same spirit our founders had 50 years ago when they were also both hopeful and uncertain of what lies ahead. If we keep this spirit, then we will prevail.

ANNUAL REPORT 17 2020 SHAPING THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE REGIONAL COMMITTEE HEADS’ MESSAGES
As PBSP celebrates 50 years of doing what it does best, the challenge of fighting poverty to improve the lives of millions of Filipinos nationwide remains at the core of PBSP’s vitality. We know that our mission to make a lasting difference in the lives of our countrymen is far from over, that it is as important now as it was in 1971.
The COVID-19 pandemic created personal, societal and economic uncertainty. As of this writing we are still living through one of the most significant historical events of the 21st Century. No sector is unaffected. Our member companies, donors and partners all face pandemic pressure while directly responding to the crisis and helping others. We give special recognition to the companies and partners who continuously worked with us during the past fiscal year. It is a solid testament of your trust and the value you assign to the good work that PBSP is known for, as well as our relevance as an organization.
Through collective action, we launched Bayanihan Musikahan, an exceptionally successful online fundraising activity in response to COVID-19. In the Visayas, we worked with boots-on-the- ground partners to distribute over 5,000 food packs to vulnerable communities in Cebu City. PBSP assisted our frontliners by providing PPEs and hygiene kits to hospitals, jails, and quarantine centers spread throughout the city and province. This type of assistance may need to continue as there are still circumstances unforeseen as the pandemic runs its course.
Although the annual Olango Challenge did not push through as planned early this year, we continued to work with our member companies and donors to assist the Department of Education with their learning continuity initiatives for the different public schools.
We push to make some headway in the Cebu A-Park project which we envision to be completed in the next five years. Riparian planting and establishment of seedling greenhouses are only the beginning as we continue to work with the communities in the Buhisan Watershed and Forest Reserve to restore biodiversity and protect one of Metro Cebu’s important water sources.
We remain optimistic realists. Amidst the chaos and difficulty we all face, PBSP in Visayas commits to find and act with sustainable solutions that give a lasting impact to our beneficiaries.
Again, we appreciate and thank our member companies, donors and stakeholders for your continued faith in us. There will be more hurdles to overcome, and in turn, more chances to help. Together, we will build resilience, and continue to adapt to the coming changes with the same urgency and passion of fifty years ago. Stay safe and be well.

PBSP, on the 50th year of its founding, continues to fulfill its mission of reducing poverty by promoting business sector leadership in and commitment to programs that seeks to build self-reliance among the marginalized sector. We continue to take pride in the lives we have transformed and uplifted through our collective action, which remains to be our foundation’s strength. Our directions and approaches have evolved through the years to meet the needs of our partners and beneficiaries and to cope with the ever-changing social development milieu. What remains constant the unwavering support of our member companies, donors and partners.
This year has been a trying period for all of us. The COVID-19 pandemic tested and is continuing to test our resolve as a nation. Many of our institutions, however, are soldiering on - maximizing their resources, modifying their strategies – responding as much as they can to the challenges brought about by the pandemic. PBSP is no different.
Through its various fund-raising efforts such as the Bayanihan Musikahan, PBSP was able to provide relief assistance to communities in Mindanao that are most-affected by the pandemic and PPEs in public hospitals in Davao City and Marawi City. In partnership with Action Against Hunger, and funding from the US government, PBSP was also able to reach out to around 2,000 families in conflict-affected areas in Maguindanao - providing them with hygiene kits, PPEs and critical information on COVID-19 prevention. The project will also repair handwashing facilities and build new ones as necessary.
Despite the difficulties in mobilizing resources and implementing projects on the ground, PBSP continued to implement its foreign funded projects in Mindanao, namely the Australian government-supported technical assistance project on construction of classrooms to the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education; the project on reducing violence against women and girls in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur funded by Global Affairs Cana through OXFAM; the capacity-building project on increasing revenues for LGUs and CSOs in Surigao del Sur, funded by EU through Action Against Hunger and two projects on youth development in Lanao del Sur and Zamboanga City funded by the Spanish government. We would like to express our gratitude to our partners and donors for supporting the changes that we had to make to our implementing strategies to properly carry out the activities considering the restrictions in movement and physical contact.
PBSP-Mindanao, with its 25 Mindanao-based member companies, in spite of the mounting challenges, will remain true to our commitment to contribute to the development of Mindanao, building on the strength of partnerships with the stakeholders.
We look forward to a new fiscal year with new opportunities to build resiliency and work together to produce greater results whatever catastrophic events come our way!

We have helped open their eyes to see GREATER POSSIBILITIES to improve their lot in life. We feel that it is our responsibility to provide them with the opportunity to transform these possibilities into realities. SIXTO K. ROXAS III PBSP FOUNDER
CHAIRMAN (1974-1975, 1981-1982)
PRESIDENT (1971-1974) In the 1980s, PBSP adopted the Provincial Development Strategy, a poverty group- focused and province-specific approach to poverty alleviation. It involves the selection of a province where projects are directed to contribute to its development. PBSP continued to provide technical advice and financial assistance in identified sites. Largely, it played the role of area development driver and community organizer. It built the capabilities of communities as project proponents and regularly monitored their performance. To ensure sustainability, proponents followed the process of institution building.
Innovations, testing, and incubation were also high in this decade through PBSP’s Center for Rural Technology and Development (CRTD). The organizations also established regional offices in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao in the late 80s.
PBSP’S CENTER FOR RURAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT (CRTD)
The Center for Rural Technology Development was established to help groups and communities achieve self- reliance through projects related to food production. CRTD developed technologies such as BukHay (from the phrase BUKid ng buHAY, which means farm of life. The BukHay technology combines modern, appropriate and ecologically-sound farming methods. It showed a way for farm families to survive on just one hectare of land through multiple cropping (rice, vegetables, fruit trees, coconut and livestock raising), recycling of farm waste, keeping farm records of production input and output, and preparation of farm plan to make use of the available space.
ANNUAL REPORT 25 2020 In May 1989, the Visayas Regional Committee and THE the Cebu City government launched the Central Cebu Hillyland Development Program. The CENTRAL CEBU program was implemented to provide marginal upland farmers with financial and technical HILLYLAND assistance for reforestation and livelihood projects. In the program, PBSP and its Cebu- DEVELOPMENT based member companies committed to PROGRAM
implement a comprehensive three-year development program for 33 upland barangays in the Central Cebu Protected Landscape or the Cebu Hillylands.
CALAMITY RESPONSE PROJECTS
In 1987 to 1988, PBSP became a recipient of relief and calamity grants from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) worth PhP14.32 million. These grants were used to provide calamity assistance to the victims of typhoons Sisang and Herming.
The Australian Embassy also provided funds for the victims of Typhoon Sisang. Australian Embassy Ambassador John Holloway visited the affected areas in Sorsogon with PBSP President Atty. Bienvenido Tan, Jr.
TUBIGAN NG KALAYAAN
To complement the government’s potable water supply program, PBSP implemented the ‘Tubigan ng Kalayaan’ program in 1986. With a PhP4.5 million budget, PBSP was able to install 451 water systems in 16 provinces. Then President Corazon C. Aquino inaugurated a water pump in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija in January 1987. PBSP Trustee and IBM President Roberto Romulo assisted the President while Trustee Corazon de la Paz and Senior Partner J. Cunanan & Co. witnessed the event, along with the beneficiaries.
FIFTY AND BEYOND: PBSP TOWARDS A BETTER WORLD 26 1990sTHE
YOUR FOUNDATION has always had the remarkable capacity to ‘reinvent’ itself. It has proven to be innovative, resilient and dynamic. It has grown and adjusted to the demands of changes in the political and socioeconomic environment. Through it all, we have been guided by a consistent development vision. That vision is steadfast in the conviction that private enterprise must discharge its social responsibility toward society in a way which befits its unique competence. We exist to promote and enhance the business sector’s commitment to social development. Our goal is to improve the quality of life of the Filipino especially the poor in a democratic society.
ANDRES SORIANO III, PBSP CHAIRMAN (1987-2000) During the 1990s, PBSP embraced the Area Resource Management Strategy and High Growth Area approaches in providing long- term projects in areas with contiguous municipalities and barangays. The areas were in Bohol and Cebu for the Visayas, Cagayan-Iligan Corridor and Samal Island (for Mindanao), and Caloocan, Quezon City, Malabon, Navotas, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig and Muntinlupa for Luzon. PBSP also conducted rigorous baseline assessments for a needs- based programming operation and served the role of area development driver with direct implementation of projects, community organizer and institution builder. Funding for projects involved a mix of PBSP money, funding from Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) and from member companies.

The Center for Corporate Citizenship provided an effective platform for member and non-member companies (formed into consensus groups) to address national issues related to education, the environment, and local governance. Technical assistance to these consensus groups included the preparation of discussion papers on the Philippine water situation and the dual training system (technical-vocational education). The Center also conducted informal surveys of areas where the business sector can support the work of local government units.
Some of the highlights of the Center during this period were: implementation of various projects that included the construction of computer laboratories in General Santos City and Taguig in Metro Manila; the Master Teacher Training Program to upgrade the quality of classroom instruction; and the development of a communication plan for the proposed Piso Para sa Pasig Foundation in support to the Pasig River included projects in the environment, Rehabilitation Program. disaster mitigation, sustainable development, agrarian reform, and women in development dimensions. ARM built the capabilities of farmers in community-based organizations through training and seminars on organic farming and integrated pest management. The program also improved farmer production and provided additional income to families through the small-water impounding facilities. The farmers also participated in the reforestation efforts by planting fruit-bearing trees in the area.
ANNUAL REPORT 29 2020 2000sTHE
It makes me very glad to see that the corporate community is now perceived as responsible and involved citizen. That was partly the intent of PBSP’s Founders in building an organization that would serve as an arm that would reach out to disadvantaged Philippine sectors. Of course, our involvement is in the field of social development because reaching out must be accompanied by CONCRETE AND POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE. That is why we continue to focus our collective energies to help uplift the lives of other Filipinos. We believe that citizenship should be expressed not only in times of great need, but constantly so as to contribute more in efforts to build society. MA. LUISA PEREZ-RUBIO CHAIRMAN (1979-1980)
PRESIDENT (1989-2004) With globalization and sustainability as the trend in the 2000s, PBSP continued its signature initiatives, the Area Resource Management Strategy and High Growth Area. It also began aligning its programs with the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Business sector involvement also saw a shift from financing from donations to investments, and thus actively set goals aligned with the MDGs and areas for investment. It was during this time that PBSP assumed bigger roles as grant manager, Corporate Citizenship expert, and convener of the business sector via the MDGs and the Business Sector. AGRO-FORESTRY IN THE VISAYAS
Aside from training on better farming methods and diversified agricultural production, PBSP also promoted agro-forestry in the Visayas region, particularly in Cebu, Negros, and Samar.
PBSP helped set up nurseries for fruit and wood tree species to support agro-forestry in Cebu and Samar.

FIFTY AND BEYOND: PBSP TOWARDS A BETTER WORLD 32 2010sTHE
To the credit of the Foundation, its membership and staff, we were able to involve ourselves in a multitude of projects, willing to test and willing to fail but forever hoping to be of help, to improve the condition of life of the people we worked with and continually trying to be more effective in our work.
We also decided that our Foundation would not be a fly-by-night operation but that we would strive to establish PBSP as a continuing presence in the Philippine scene, an example of Filipino concern about our people and our country and willing to do something about it; a professional organization that could effectively cope with problems in its area of activity and a group of businesses, technical individuals and concerned businessmen who could stand proudly together because of their cooperative effort in social development that has now found recognition not only here at home but even abroad. AMBASSADOR BIENVENIDO TAN, JR. PBSP FOUNDER PRESIDENT (1974-1989) EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (1974-1978) TRUSTEE (1971-2017) As the MDGs ended in the 2010s, PBSP continued to align its programs on Health, Education, Environment and Livelihood (HEEL) on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). PBSP also adopted the Collective Impact Strategy to solve complex societal problems through the formation of the Water Alliance, Marikina Watershed Initiative and the Bayanihang Pampaaralan. During this period, PBSP also strengthened its service on development consulting for its donors and ODA partners and further expanded its roles as grant/ project manager, convener, institution builder, resource mobilizer, and project implementer.
SOS MARAWI CAMPAIGN PBSP was one of the first organizations to respond to the needs of the people affected by the Marawi Siege in May 2017.
PBSP, with the collective support of companies and individual donors, distributed Buckets of Love containing basic necessities (food, hygiene kits and kitchen items) to help evacuees, teachers, and volunteers survive and stay strong amid the hardships of the conflict. PBSP is also implementing early recovery interventions in health, education, environment, and livelihood to help affected families rebuild their lives.
PBSP adopted the Marikina Watershed as a response WATERSHED to growing concerns of REHABILITATION watershed deforestation. To rehabilitate the watershed, PBSP engages companies to help protect the environment and employee-volunteers participate in the planting of native seedlings. PBSP also works with local farmer and people’s organizations to manage and maintain the reforested sites. This ensures the survival of the planted seedlings and provides alternative sources of income to the locals in the watershed.
FIFTY AND BEYOND: PBSP TOWARDS A BETTER WORLD 34 SWIMMING TO BUILD BETTER SCHOOLS
PBSP’s Olango Challenge, a fundraising swimming competition, aims to improve the lives of families in Olango Island through the delivery of basic social services, the provision of sustainable income opportunities and the rehabilitation of the unique environment of the island.
Proceeds of the swimming competition led to the building and refurbishment of classrooms, promotion and practice of vermiculture and greening of Olango Island.
The swim also serves as an awareness and advocacy campaign for the environment in and around the island.
READY FOR SCHOOL CAMPAIGN Each year, PBSP holds its Ready for School campaign to prepare various public schools nationwide in time for the opening of classes.
In 2015, PBSP institutionalized the engagement of employee- volunteers from various companies to do the actual repainting of school chairs and blackboards, covering of books, construction of reading nooks, and classroom clean-up in public elementary and high schools nationwide. Since 2015, PBSP has engaged over 2,500 employee- volunteers from around 82 companies in helping more than 40 schools nationwide.
During disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions, PBSP conducts relief operations and early recovery initiatives to assist affected families in communities.

ANNUAL REPORT 35 2020 OUR IMPACT OUR COLLECTIVE IMPACT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
When 50 corporations organized Philippine Business for Social Progress back in 1970, its purpose was to pool resources of the business community into a program of organized, professional, and sustained assistance for the Filipino poor. It aimed to “help people to help themselves” and hoped to show that private businesses could also contribute in shaping society.
Fifty years later, PBSP has grown into the largest business-led non- government organization in the country. Boasting a membership of 255 companies, the organization has supported more than 6,100 development projects in five decades. We led the innovation of several projects and tools in social development. We helped shaped development work in the country. PBSP’s experience and track record is what keeps us inspired and motivated to aspire for greater things and continue moving forward.
However, FY 2019-2020 was marred with challenges that we never thought we would ever have to face. The COVID-19 pandemic halted most of our projects. We feared for the safety of our fellow Filipinos and our own staff, while grappling with the sustainability of our programs. We worried about the effect of the pandemic to our members and partners. And most importantly, it caused us to stop and ask, “What happens now to PBSP?”
It is in these hardships and challenges that we found opportunities for growth and renewed our perspective on how we do development work. We pushed forward and found strength in working together with local government units, people’s organizations, and cooperatives who were closest to those in need. We embarked on a journey characterized by new ways of engaging people to support our initiatives.
For our Area-Based Collective Impact (ACI) projects, we were able to continue our reforestation efforts in the Buhisan Watershed and Forest Reserve in Visayas and Marikina Watershed in Luzon by engaging local people’s organizations to help us plant and maintain the reforested sites. In the Buhisan Watershed, a total of 87,510 native and fruit- bearing trees were planted on 45 hectares of forest land. Meanwhile, we were able to plant 142,550 seedlings in 103 hectares of the Marikina Watershed.
ACI also marked this fiscal year with a move to foster an empowered youth and women sector in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). We launched a program that focused on strengthening the professional skills, civic engagement, and employability of young people and women displaced in Marawi City.
PBSP also scaled up its innovative practices through various Engagement Platforms (EP) that sought to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by engaging the business sector, academe and research institutions, government, other NGOs, and committed individuals. This year, PBSP nurtured four Engagement Platforms, namely the Water Alliance, Zero Extreme Poverty Philippines 2030 (ZEP2030), the Population, Health and Environment (PHE) Network, and the Philippines Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (PPSA).
Throughout the year, our EP provided avenues for collaboration, learning, and collective action. We were able to come up with initiatives and innovations that aided communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and contributed to water security, improved the lives of poor Filipino farmers and fisherfolk, and explored new ways to accelerate

impact in social development and integrate more appropriate, locally- led approaches.
Meanwhile, through Grants Management and Implementation (GMI), we assisted the BARMM Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) by providing capacity building and trainings on skills that helped the ministry effectively and efficiently implement its classroom construction program and address the region’s long- standing backlogs and gaps.
We also continued our “iRead4Peace” initiative wherein 13,450 students and teachers were given a set of children’s storybooks that highlight the culture, identity, values, and resilience of the Maranao people. The storybooks are based on actual experiences of survivors of the 2017 Marawi conflict and aim to improve the reading abilities of children while serving as a tool for peace education and trauma healing.
Our Tuberculosis Control interventions under the Advancing Client- centered Care and Expanding Sustainable Services for TB (ACCESS TB) Project is even more important now with the pandemic. We were able to notify 5,937 multi-drug resistant tuberculosis cases. Moreover, 5,609 of these cases began the second-line treatment for TB.
Our fiscal year would not be complete without highlighting our efforts in the fight against COVID-19. We partnered with various groups and individuals in conducting efforts to respond to the needs of communities affected by the health and economic crises. With the support of various donors and partners, we were able to raise and mobilize around Php132 million to provide food packs, personal protective equipment (PPE), hygiene kits, and cash assistance to vulnerable communities.
Through the ACCESS TB Project, we allocated $8.5 million to strengthen the public health system and to assist the Department of Health in COVID-proofing its TB control program. This support led to the procurement of Xpert® SARS-CoV-2 test cartridges, RT-PCR machines, other laboratory supplies and reagents, and PPE, and the provision of hazard pay to our medical frontliners.
We also implemented awareness campaigns and trainings on COVID-19 Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) for barangay health workers (BHW), cleaners, and volunteers. This intervention enabled them to conduct health and hygiene promotions, community awareness on the virus, and maintain and clean the handwashing facilities provided to them.
2020 may have been filled with challenges but we persevered and continued with our mission to deliver on our commitment to uplift lives where we are needed most. We found strength in our partnerships and collaborations, inspiration in the passion and dedication of the people we worked with, and hope in the people who expressed their desire to contribute despite the hardships brought about by the pandemic.
For as long as there are communities in need of assistance, of empowerment, of sustainable development, PBSP will be there. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary and look forward to the years and decades to come, PBSP – its people, stories, experiences, and aspirations – will continue to be a driving force in the country’s social development landscape.
