9. ABS-CBN FOUNDATION, INC.

 ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, already a communications giant in Asia,
made a corporate commitment to the public by establishing the ABS-CBN
Foundation, Inc. (AFI) in the Philippines. Duly incorporated and registered with
Securities and Exchange Commission with SEC. Reg. No. 165508 on July 5, 1989,
AFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization. Initially, the AFI was asked to produce
television programs for charitable and educational purposes. Its chief concerns then
were to generate welfare funds by broadcasting the situations of those in dire need
of assistance and ensuring the proper allotment and utilization of solicited help.
10. Banco De Oro

 Relief Operations
Past disasters will not be the last to threaten communities. To respond to this
 continuing reality, BDOF adopted an integrated approach in its relief operations
through the active engagement of BDO volunteers in over 875 branches and
satellite offices, and a supply chain of SM stores to pack the goods. BDO’s
extensive branch network has been helpful in the conduct of such relief activities.

 School Buildings
The shortage of classrooms in Philippine public schools is a lingering problem.
Calamities worsen the situation. When these occur, existing classrooms and school
buildings are damaged or destroyed altogether, while the remaining ones are used
as evacuation centers.
Amid these realities, BDOF recognizes that children need the regularity of daily
learning, whatever the weather and however difficult the situation.

Toward this end, BDOF, again in partnership with SM Foundation, completed and
turned over two school buildings in Capiz and Aklan in 2014. These are two-storey
buildings with four classrooms each. Three (3) more are under construction in
Tacloban City, Negros Occidental and Iloilo, all on the Yolanda corridor.
 Shelter
In Mati, Davao Oriental and in Sta. Fe, Leyte, two resettlement sites began
construction in 2014. The former, with 69 housing units, is for victims of typhoon
Pablo. The latter is for persons with disabilities and the victims of typhoon Yolanda,
through the Foundation for These-Abled Persons, Inc (FTI). The Leyte resettlement
site will have 100 units, all pre-fab and designed by German technology.

BDOF recognizes that there is not just a need to build houses, but to establish
functioning communities. These resettlement sites are not just made up of
individual housing units. They come with a multi-purpose hall or community center
where residents can hold workshops and other socio-civic, religious and other
activities. These community centers are equipped with a kitchenette, comfort rooms
and other furnishings and fully funded by BDO employees and officers.
 Livelihood
Forty-five motorized boats with fish nets were donated by BDO employees and
officers to Project BANGKA (Bigay Agad NG Kabuhayan) of Regina Rica
Foundation for the residents of Barangay Santikan, San Dionisio, Iloilo.

Onward, with passion and commitment In 2015, BDO through its foundation
expects to see the full delivery of projects — school buildings, rural health centers
and shelter sites – which commenced the previous year. It will continue to align its
activities in the direction of relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction especially along
the Yolanda corridor. There will also be an effort to help communities in other areas
— equally devastated by disaster but which have not received ample attention and
support, thus getting left behind in the long process of healing and rebuilding.

It also recognizes that an important component to delivering on this commitment is

forging partnerships with foreign and local companies/ agencies that share its
values and objectives. For 2015 and the years ahead, BDO with its foundation
affirms its leadership and its commitment to initiate and support community-based
programs that uplift the lives of marginalized sectors especially those in
disasteraffected areas.

This is consistent with “Building dreams for others, rebuilding lives” — the theme
of what the Bank, through BDO Foundation, does for communities across the
country. The theme also serves as a road map of the Bank’s continued pursuit to
make a difference.
