The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has announced a grant of $1.5 million (around P64.5 million) from the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction to BayaniJuan sa Southville 7, the 107-hectare relocation site comanaged by the National Housing Authority (NHA) and ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. (AFI) in support of the Pasig River rehabilitation.

Signing the letter of agreement were ADB Southeast Asia Department Director General Kunio Senga, NHA General Manager Chito Cruz and AFI Managing Director Gina Lopez. Witnesses were Vice President Jejomar Binay and Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines Toshinao Urabe.

The grant provides for the expansion of multisectoral partnerships between NHA and AFI; funds for electrification; the use of e-trikes and solar grids; and finances community initiatives, livelihood and enterprise development.

The NHA is the executive agency of the grant while AFI is the implementing agency.

BayaniJuan currently houses close to 6,000 families from the Estero de Paco, Pasig and Marikina in Calauan, Laguna.

Houses, schools, a livelihood center, health clinic, market and other community amenities such as children’s playgrounds and daycare centers had been constructed by AFI with help from Habitat for Humanity, Ayala Group, Lopez Group, Sunlife, San Miguel Corp., DMCI and SM.

The Diocese of San Pablo, Don Bosco and the Calauan local government are active partners in community development.

The grant will highlight multisectoral partnership in a poor community, which will be replicated in six other communities in the coming years.

“Para Sa Inyo Kapamilya” Gathers Filipino Community Together for a Good Cause
Thousands hail ABS-CBN Foundation International, TFC’s Balitang America for authentic Filipino advocacy and meaningful service
May 29, 2012


The promise of the campaign that started in May was to invite Filipinos in the U.S. to join hands and celebrate the true essence of public service – a genuine giving back to the community.
By the end of the campaign on May 26 via a public service fair and a star-studded, world-class fundraising concert at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, aptly called, “Para Sa Inyo Kapamilya”, thousands from all sectors of the Filipino community hailed the campaign as real, meaningful Filipino advocacy and service for a noble cause.

10 Years of Committed Service to the Public
For the whole month of May, ABS-CBN Foundation International and The Filipino Channel’s (TFC) Balitang America - the non-profit sister organization of ABS-CBN International and the only daily locally produced Filipino news program in the U.S., respectively – launched May as its public service month to commemorate their 10 years of service to the overseas Filipinos and migrants in the U.S.

After three successive weeks of holding free service fairs that included the participation of medical and health care providers, financial and legal consultants (particularly immigration), wellness providers, overseas absentee voting registration by the Philippine Consulates General in San Francisco and Los Angeles, TFC’s myRemit providing free remittance plus some karaoke-singing contest as entertainment – which took the travelling fair from the TFC headquarters in Redwood City to Seafood City branches in Eagle Rock and North Hills, California – all roads led to Home Depot Center in Carson on May 26. Here, more service providers joined community leaders in attendance led by Carson Mayor Jim Dear and Evelyn Sia, Philippine Consul General (Los Angeles) Mary Jo Aragon and husband, Dr. Romualdo Aragon, Carson Councilmember Elito Santarina and wife Anita, among many others from business, media, non-profit, government and entertainment.

May 26 declared Balitang America and ABS-CBN Foundation International Day
“Para Sa Inyo Kapamilya” last Saturday at Home Depot Center had three components: Balitang America’s show and public service fair at the main concourse; ABS-CBN Foundation International’s VIP Reception for supporters and major donors which also paid tribute to Mrs. Conchita Taylor, the founder of ABS-CBN Foundation International, at the American Express Stadium Club; and the star-studded concert at the Tennis Stadium with Martin Nievera, Charice, Bamboo, Xian Lim, Kim Chiu, Cheesa (Filipino American singer who almost reached the quarterfinals of NBC’s The Voice) and a special appearance of apl.de.ap of the world-renowned hip hop group, Black Eyed Peas, with Miss Philippines USA 2012 Kristina Bryant and her royal court.

The City of Carson led by Mayor Dear and Councilman Santarina honored the decade of service by declaring May 26, 2012 as Balitang America Day and ABS-CBN Foundation International Day. The Balitang America team led by News Bureau Chief Nadia Trinidad, Executive Producer Vivian Araullo, news anchor Gel Santos-Relos, senior reporters Henni Espinosa, Don Tagala, Steve Angeles and Albert Bataclan, and Manny dela Rosa a.k.a. Manny the Movie Guy were there to receive the award. Chairman of the Board for the ABS CBN Foundation International and ABS-CBN Global COO Raffy Lopez with ABS-CBN Foundation International President Robbie Fabian received the award on behalf of the Foundation.

World-class Filipino entertainment
The much-awaited concert of top Filipino entertainers kicked off after the awarding ceremony. The inimitable Concert King of the Philippines Martin Nievera started with a bang with a fast number entitled, “Take Off”. This was followed with a medley of his greatest hits that sent the audience into a romantic memory lane and even sang along with Nievera.

Following was the Filipino American sensation from NBC’s The Voice – Cheesa – who showed her vocal range with songs like “All by Myself” and the “Kailangan Kita/I Have Nothing” medley.

Bamboo and his live band brought the house down with an eclectic brand of rock. His renditions of “Hallelujah”, “Englishman/Sunday Morning”, “Noypi” among others wowed both young and old. A favorite number also was his well-applauded surprise duet with Nievera, singing “Every Breath You Take”.

When the Princess of Teleserye, Kim Chiu, entered the stage, dazzling in a red gown, screams of die-hards who had followed her from arrival at Los Angeles Airport to her hotel to Home Depot Center flooded the air. The radiantly lovely young star also showed she can sing and dance with her version of “Part of Me” with the TFC Dancers.

The decibel level hit the roof when Chiu’s Binondo Girl love interest, matinee idol Xian Lim, was called in to banter with her, completing the presence of the top love team in the Philippines today. Lim engaged the crowd with the romantic ballad, “So, It’s You”, then performed a duet with Chiu via the song, “Just A Kiss”. The adorable, picture-perfect duo sealed their onstage moment with a stolen kiss by Lim, titillating all fans in the crowd.

Nievera and Santos Relos jokingly flirted on the floor before introducing the final perfomer, Charice. Never failing to surprise and thrill the audience, an edgier, grittier look of the diminutive singer with a powerful voice greeted everyone. She went on to wow the crowd with new and familiar hits. A fantastic Whitney Houston tribute duet with Cheesa – “Saving All My Love For You” – made many wish that the two friends can record songs together.

In between performers' suites were video presentations of celebrities describing their personal experiences with volunteerism through the Foundation. There were also 10th anniversary greetings from ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs Head Ging Reyes and her stellar team of newscasters. The video presentations ended with messages from ABS-CBN Foundation Philippines Founder and Managing Director Gina Lopez, Program Director Tina Monzon-Palma and ABS-CBN Foundation International President Robbie Fabian.

“I am proud of the strides Balitang America has made as a news and public service program for Filipinos and by Filipinos here in the U.S.,” said ABS-CBN Global Content Head and North America Managing Director Olivia De Jesus. “Their achievements have paved the way for other ABS-CBN regional offices to also build their local news programs like Balitang Middle East, Balitang Europe and Balitang Canada. I’m very confident that they will continue to produce timely, relevant, meaningful and impactful content for overseas Filipino communities.”

"It is with pride that we celebrate the first ten years of the ABS CBN Foundation International," said Rafael Lopez, concurrent Chairman of the Board for the ABS CBN Foundation International and ABS-CBN Global COO. "We are grateful to the Mayor of Carson and the City's officials and people for honoring over 12,000 donors that we've seen throughout the years. Our work is far from over but we are committed to bringing the compassion of the organization wherever Filipinos are around the world."

Tribals to Gina Lopez: Keep off our land

A dedicated environmentalist and scion of the politically influential Lopez family is under fire for her alleged plans to put up a tourism resort in the middle of sacred tribal ground in Palawan province.
Bert Palaan, a leader of Brooke’s Point Federation of Tribal Councils (BPFTC), has accused Gina Lopez and her environment protection arm, ABS-CBN Foundation’s Bantay Kalikasan, of allegedly failing to practice what she was preaching when her construction crew forcibly took over their ancestral land at Sabsaban Falls, Barangay (village) Aribungos, in Brooke’s Point on March 25, reportedly with the aid of local police and military operatives.

Palaan said Lopez had proposed to put up offices and ecotourism facilities, such as hotel, restaurant and function areas, on the land. He said four lodging structures had been established for which the foundation was charging P25,000 for a day’s stay.


25 trees cut?

“We are not against progress. We just wanted her to follow the process, such as consultation and getting our prior consent before taking over our ancestors’ land where our people go to worship and heal themselves,” Palaan said in a phone interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

“We thought she was for the protection of the environment and upholding the rights of the indigenous people. But why did she cut down 25 trees in a watershed area inside our holy ground? Why did she not consult with us or inform us of her plans?”

Lopez, managing director of the ABS-CBN Foundation, claimed in previous statements that she wanted to save the area from the ravages of mining companies by converting it into a biodiversity school.
Lopez, who has initiated a signature campaign against mining, has not replied to an Inquirer request for comment.

Ifugao Representative Teddy Brawner-Baguilat, chairman of the House committee on national cultural communities and vice chair of the committee on natural resources, said Lopez should have been more consistent in her advocacy.

“There should be no double standard here,” he said.


No informed consent

While agreeing that Sabsaban Falls had a great tourism potential, Baguilat said ABS-CBN Foundation should have followed the rules.
“While ecotourism is preferred, any development work must and should be made to go through the same stringent Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) that the IPs (indigenous peoples) demanded of mining companies. Any project in an area considered sacred by IPs should be undertaken with consideration of not just the environment but also the rights of the IPs,” Baguilat said.

Palaan and 27 other BPFTC leaders have already written President Aquino, requesting him to intervene and stop the desecration of their land.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has already ordered an inquiry into the cutting of trees and takeover of the ancestral lands without the approval of the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) and the ancestral land domain owners in violation of Republic Act No. 8371, or the Indigenous People’s Rights Act.

Palaan said his group wanted the government to stop the project until Lopez had obtained an FPIC from the indigenous people in the area and a certificate of precondition from the NCIP.

Sun Life Financial, ABS-CBN turn over Legacy of Light
Tuesday, 26 June 2012

SUN LIFE Financial-Philippines Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. formally turned over the Legacy of Light Village, a socialized housing project for Metro Manila’s informal settlers, during simple rites on June 23.

The Legacy of Light Village was developed within the 110-hectare government relocation site in Barangay Santo Tomas through a P50-million donation from Sun Life Financial’s corporate social responsibility arm, the Sun Life Foundation.

Rizalina Mantaring, president and chief executive officer of the Sun Life Financial Group of Companies; Veronica Estrella, executive director of Sun Life Foundation, and ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. executive director Gina Lopez led the symbolic turnover of keys to the new homes of a total of 115 beneficiaries.

According to Mantaring, the beneficiaries represent the company’s 115 years of existence in the Philippines.

“This project is our way of giving back to the people and the communities,” she said and reiterated that Sun Life Financial will continue to pay forward through various projects to help communities.

Sun Life Financial, one of the country’s oldest life insurance companies, last year recorded a gross premium of P14 billion, besting all its competitors. Its net income last year was pegged at P3.0 billion.

According to Mantaring, the company is spending more than 1 percent of the company’s net income to various projects as part of its commitment to good corporate citizenship.

Incidentally, Lopez said the company’s humble beginnings could be traced to the Pasig River, noting that its first office was put up in Pasig City, also along the historic river 115 years ago.

The beneficiaries of the project, like other families who were relocated within the relocation site named BayaniJuan, came from the river banks of Pasig River after the devastation wrought by typhoon Ondoy.

Some of the 5,200 families are now permanent residents of BayaniJuan, says Girlie Aragon, its project manager for ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. Of the number, about 3,500 were rendered homeless by Ondoy, which flooded 90 percent of Metro Manila and other low-lying towns and cities in Luzon for weeks, while 1,700 families came from Estero de Paco in Pandacan, Manila, a tributary of Pasig River which was turned into a park as part of the clearing operation initiated jointly by the government and ABS-CBN Foundation’s Kapit-Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig.

The modest housing units, with a floor area of 30 sq m, costs around P137,000. It comes with potable water and electricity.

The BayaniJuan relocation site was developed in partnership with the National Housing Authority (NHA). It was designed to be a small but self-sustaining community.

Near the relocation site, there are three public elementary schools and one high school, a public market, a church and within the Legacy of Light Village is a children’s playground.

Lopez said an industrial park will soon rise within the relocation site, which will help provide jobs to people who have been relocated from various parts of Metro Manila.

“The industrial park is being worked out. We already have a list of five locators who committed to set up shop nearby,” she said.

According to Lopez, ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. will continue to provide seminars as part of a livelihood program for the project beneficiaries to encourage them to stay in their new homes.

ABS CBN DELUGED WITH CALLS FOR HELP AMID MASSIVE FLOODING IN METRO MANILA
Aug 7, 2012


Redwood City, Calif. (August 7, 2012) – Metro Manila resident Josephine Cruz’s plea was loud and clear over ABS CBN’s flagship radio AM station, DZMM (630 kHz in Metro Manila). Trapped in her house with her 83-year-old grandmother and 11 of her family members, she frantically cried, “Please rescue my family!” In the last 24 hours, as flood waters continued to rise in Metropolitan Manila as a result of torrential rains, similar pleas for help also came through the air. By Tuesday morning, 60 people have perished, while thousands continue to be transported to evacuation centers. ABS CBN Foundation International announces the reactivation of Sagip Kapamilya, a disaster rescue, relief and rehabilitation program, as the rescue operations are now a race against time.

What began as a typical, seasonal monsoon for the 12 million residents of the Philippine capital quickly became a deadly deluge of torrential rains that caused the overflow of dams and rivers. By Tuesday evening, Manila time, most of Metropolitan Manila was under waist- to neck-deep waters.

As of August 7 (Manila time), Sagip Kapamilya’s rescue operations has reached 12,552 residents. Sagip Kapamilya staff and volunteers are responding to the emergency needs of people inside the evacuation centers. Special attention is being given to children, expectant mothers and the elderly. The immediate needs in the centers include a steady supply of rice; canned goods and other non-perishable food items; clothes for adults, children and infants; blankets and mats; first aid and medicine.

The collective donation of overseas Filipinos has always been the single largest and most reliable source of support for Sagip Kapamilya.

“We humbly call on all overseas Filipinos and our friends to assist in any way to help Filipinos affected by the recent floods in Metropolitan Manila,” says J. Robbie Fabian, President of ABS CBN Foundation International.

“Because the needs are immediate we encourage gifts of cash at this time. Our commitment is to remit the donations within 24 to 48 hours of accepting them so items of greatest need can be purchased immediately on the ground.”

ABS CBN Foundation International remits 100% of all donations to Sagip Kapamilya in Manila for use in the rescue, relief and long-term rehabilitation of communities affected by natural disasters. All donations in the U.S. are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. laws.

Donations of checks or money orders can be sent to ABS CBN Foundation International at 150 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, CA 94065. Contributions also be made online at www.abscbnfoundation.org.
