Building the Future Building the Future 2017 ANNUAL REPORT UILDING THE FUTURE Tomorrow’sB possibilities are endless when we, as one nation, tap into the collective power of our shared service. This age-old spirit of ‘bayanihan’ continues to be our rallying front. As our country navigates through a time of change, we at the Metrobank Foundation believe that the bayanihan culture we have so long established in the past remains ever more relevant in our mission to build the future. The time is ripe to draw on the strength of our solidarity to drive forth positive change in the country. Every Filipino is a stakeholder in this movement—and each one, whether in the public, private, or civil society sectors, is called to give whatever one has to offer. No more competitions, only stronger collaborations. No more lone wolves, only one solid pack treading towards the same destination of a progressive nation. This is the future we envision. This is the future we work to build. Let’s get to work. BOUT THE COVER InspiredA by the concept of bayanihan, the cover features a community of stakeholders working in the spirit of cooperative effort to achieve a common goal. Metrobank Foundation’s 2017 Annual Report paints such picture of nation-building: an empowered citizenry working together—carrying their own load, while simultaneously lightening the load of others—to make concrete, lasting impacts in society.

This is great news for business, but we have to do more. At the Metrobank Group, we believe that building the future of our nation goes beyond the corporate agenda. In order to effect change in the lives of our stakeholders, we have to reach them, engage them, and work with them in the spirit of communal unity. As such, we have ever since set it as our priority to serve the Filipino people through corporate philanthropy and social responsibility. Since Metrobank Foundation’s inception in 1979, we have stood committed in fostering collaborative partnerships and empowering individuals and communities to become agents of positive change in their respective sectors and spheres of influence. With service excellence as our foremost advocacy, the Foundation pays tribute to the country’s best teachers, soldiers, and police officers whose unsung efforts in duty make a difference in the broader community. Our pioneering program for the arts has evolved to become not only a recognition platform for visual artists to showcase their skills, but also a space where dialogues and discussions in cultural heritage can flourish. The Foundation’s grants program has moved from one-time interventions in certain communities, to sustainable collaborations and enduring alliances with social development partners in the fields of HEAL– health, education, arts, and livelihood As we move onto the years ahead, we are excited and optimistic to continue creating meeting points where numerous expressions of involvement, responsibility, and giving back can come together in a holistic manner. “ The future is bright, but The future is bright, but it takes cooperative effort to ensure no it takes cooperative effort one gets left behind.

In 2017, we are proud to have devoted many of our advocacies Tand interventions to building a better future for you—our chosen stakeholders. But we know raising the bar higher in the practice of corporate social responsibility is only half the equation. As we have acknowledged time and again, we cannot build the nation on our own. The overflowing support that we receive from each institutional partner, awardee, scholar, and beneficiary remains to be the heart and soul of these accomplishments. As such, this year’s annual report is a fitting celebration of the cooperative effort of everyone who has endeavored to join us in making lasting changes for the country and its citizenry. What you will read in the next few pages are stories of passionate men and women who have broken new grounds and braved many odds just so they can make a difference where and when it is most needed. From a soldier whose unceasing efforts in building peace help resolve enduring clan wars in a war-torn community, to a young math wizard and a scholar-graduate whose passion to their crafts inspire many of their peers, these men and women aptly exemplify what it means to be selfless and sincere in contributing to the country’s social development. It is the various initiatives and efforts they do in their respective fields that make the most resounding impact for generations to come. They are the true builders of our nation’s future. Coming from such a milestone year, we at the Metrobank Foundation aspire to higher levels of excellence and stronger chains of collaboration in the years ahead. There is much to be done – and we are excited to work with you every step of the way. “Coming from such a milestone RET. CHIEF JUSTICE ARTEMIO V.

W655 OUTSTANDING FILIPINOS AWARDED SINCE 1985 6 MetroBanK foUndation, INC. Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos recognizes exemplary teachers, soldiers, and police officers for rendering service above and beyond their call of duties, guided by the theme “Beyond Excellence.” An Outstanding Filipino is recognized for his/her accomplishments that have inspired and influenced their peers as well as the people in their respective communities. Their works must have transformed communities with a lasting positive impact on people and to the country. 2017 annUal report 7 METROBANK FOUNDATION OUTSTANDING FILIPINOS: FOSTERING A CULTURE OF SERVICE EXCELLENCE In 2017, the Metrobank Foundation recognized ten (10) Outstanding Filipinos. The award is conferred for being an exemplary public servant—but more importantly, an Outstanding Filipino is worthy of such recognition because he/she is an active agent of positive change and influence in their communities. Introducing the theme “Beyond Excellence,” one must have made a long-lasting positive impact, as well as concrete contributions to the onward development of communities. He/she must also display patriotism, integrity, courage, and social responsibility—the universal values that Filipinos are defined by. Information Campaigns IN SEARCH OF EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVANTS The 2017 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos Award was launched on January 25 at Camp Aguinaldo. From January to March, the Metrobank Foundation led a total of 31 strategic visits to identified regions, offices, stations, and camps nationwide. The Metrobank Foundation tapped alumni organizations and more than 800 Metrobank branches to spread word on the nominations. An integrated communication plan was implemented to effectively reach out to target audiences and achieve higher brand recall. As an innovation, Metrobank Foundation hosted a press conference. Through ground-level visits, press releases, media guestings, and public circulars, the call for nominations was received by over 100,000 teachers, soldiers, and police officers nationwide. Field Validation The program’s reputation and prestige are anchored on the credibility of its rigorous selection process—the procedures of which have been perfected and continuously being revised through the years.

Through an analysis of the historical origins and changing meanings of “ilustrado” in Philippine literary and nationalist discourse, this article looks at the politics of reading and writing that have shaped international and domestic reception of the novel. While the novel seeks to resignify the hitherto class- bound concept of “ilustrado” to include Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), historical and contemporary usages of the term present conceptual and practical difficulties and challenges that require a new intellectual paradigm for understanding Philippine society. Keywords: rizal • novel • ofw • ilustrado • nationalism PHILIPPINE STUDIES 59, NO. 1 (2011) 3–54 © Ateneo de Manila University iguel Syjuco’s Ilustrado (2010) is arguably the first contemporary novel by a Filipino to have a global presence and impact (fig. 1). Published in America by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and in Great Britain by Picador, the novel has garnered rave reviews across Mthe Atlantic and received press coverage in the Commonwealth nations of Australia and Canada (where Syjuco is currently based).

  • Psychographics Study on the Voting Behavior of the Cebuano Electorate
    PSYCHOGRAPHICS STUDY ON THE VOTING BEHAVIOR OF THE CEBUANO ELECTORATE By Nelia Ereno and Jessa Jane Langoyan ABSTRACT This study identified the attributes of a presidentiable/vice presidentiable that the Cebuano electorates preferred and prioritized as follows: 1) has a heart for the poor and the needy; 2) can provide occupation; 3) has a good personality/character; 4) has good platforms; and 5) has no issue of corruption. It was done through face-to-face interview with Cebuano registered voters randomly chosen using a stratified sampling technique. Canonical Correlation Analysis revealed that there was a significant difference as to the respondents’ preferences on the characteristic traits of the presidential and vice presidential candidates across respondents with respect to age, gender, educational attainment, and economic status. The strength of the relationships were identified to be good in age and educational attainment, moderate in gender and weak in economic status with respect to the characteristics of the presidentiable. Also, there was a good relationship in age bracket, moderate relationship in gender and educational attainment, and weak relationship in economic status with respect to the characteristics of a vice presidentiable. The strength of the said relationships were validated by the established predictive models. Moreover, perceptual mapping of the multivariate correspondence analysis determined the groupings of preferred characteristic traits of the presidential and vice presidential candidates across age, gender, educational attainment and economic status. A focus group discussion was conducted and it validated the survey results. It enumerated more characteristics that explained further the voting behavior of the Cebuano electorates. Keywords: canonical correlation, correspondence analysis perceptual mapping, predictive models INTRODUCTION Cebu has always been perceived as "a province of unpredictability during elections" [1].

  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.
