Tan Yan Kee Annual Report 2014

OUR COVER Withstanding more frequent and devastating typhoons traced to sudden climate changes and abuse of natural resources, there is an urgent call to help rebuild the community and the environment. The aftermath of the devastating Typhoon Yolanda sparked the Tan Yan Kee Foundation’s three-year plan to implement strategic and sustainable programs such as housing projects, reforestation activities, and livelihood programs. TYKFI’s core activities in education also continue to be robust as the Foundation acknowledges that education is key in empowering and developing the community. “Rebuilding the Community and the Environment” is showcased as the first step in the Foundation’s three-year journey and will be explored in this annual report.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

I

t is with mixed feelings of determination and

excitement that I present to you the Tan Yan Kee Foundation’s three-year journey of “Rebuilding the Community and the Environment”, starting this year. The Filipino faced many challenges the previous years, includ-

ing economic challenges, and the damages brought by destructive typhoons such as “Ondoy”, “Yolanda”, and “Ruby” which were linked to sudden climate changes, abuse of natural resources and global warming. During the past years, the Foundation reacted successfully with speed by bringing the much needed basic goods and supplies to disaster-stricken areas via the HOPE caravan.

“It is imperative for TYKFI as a member of the community to join hands with government and partners in understanding the forces of nature and protecting the people from the effects of calamities. There is a need to respond swiftly and effectively to the call of the environment.”

Early this year, it was time not only to

react during critical situations, but to equip the community in advance with tools and resources for constant disaster preparedness and lasting development. It is also imperative for TYKFI as a member of the community to join hands with government and partners in

understanding

the forces of nature and protecting the people from the effects of calamities. There is a need to

respond swiftly and effectively to the call of the environment.

Armed with an action plan to help rebuild the community, your Foundation focused on Leyte through a host of projects in infrastructure development, educational assistance to schools, relief assistance 3

and distribution of school supplies to children. By September, the TYKFI brought a team to Leyte and jumpstarted a 57unit permanent housing project and the replication of the Chua King Ha educational centers in two barangays where houses and school buildings were totally damaged.

Proper nutrition and continuous education of children are of

utmost concern to your Foundation. Thus, TYKFI made follow up visits to various areas affected by Typhoon Yolanda during the first quarter of the year to distribute food packs and milk supplements as well as school supplies to thousands of children affected by Typhoon Yolanda.

In the latter part of the year, TYKFI gave away vegetable seeds and school supplies to affected victims of Typhoon Ruby in Samar.

In the area of environmental protection, TYKFI recorded an

important milestone in its history with the launching of the Dr. Lucio C. 4

Tan Legacy Forest Project. While we have started to rebuild the forests, the project looks forward to saving and preserving the environment for the benefit of future generations. The project bears the responsibility of restoring degraded

forests and protecting existing ones in order to mitigate the impact of climate changes and help improve the quality of life of our children.

The Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Project has targetted to plant over

15 million trees in 10 years in Laguna, Quezon, and Nueva Vizcaya. By the end of the year, the Foundation was able to plant and nurture up to a million seedlings of different tree species. The project is laborintensive and requires employment for hundreds of planters in tree nurseries, thus providing livelihood opportunities to many unemployed residents in surrounding communities.

Your Foundation believes that aside from the land

reforestation projects, coastline reforestation is critically essential 5

in rehabilitating the environment. Your Foundation continued to work in protecting the fragile ecosystem of mangroves. Last year, TYKFI planted thousands of mangrove seedlings and propagules in the Ilocos Sur coastline thru the Las-Ud Mangrove Project, in addition to the two thousand mangrove seedlings planted via the Roots for Boracay project which was started in 2012.

Education remains at the core of the Foundation and serves as a great tool for rebuilding the community and the environment.

Education has remained at the core of the Foundation and has served as a great tool for rebuilding the community and the environment. Activities in Education had been robust with TYKFI’s participation in

the Adopt-a-School Program of the Department of Education; this year benefitting over 11,000 students who received new school supplies.

TYKFI also strongly supported education development in far flung

areas through ongoing projects like the U.E.-Tan Yan Kee Scholarship Program, Teachers’ Training, Education on Television (E-TV) distribution, and Travelling Science Caravan. The Chua King Ha Educational Center 6

was also replicated in Ilocos Sur where TYKFI replaced some school buildings which were dilapidated, condemned or razed by fire.

Your Foundation resumed its livelihood training project in

Nueva Vizcaya through a partnership agreement with Ang Hortaleza Foundation, Inc., which helped TYKFI train women in beauty care, therapeutic massage and reflexology.

In the area of Health Services, the TYKFI, in partnership with

the Association of Asia Brewery Medical Scholars, sponsored the Asia Brewery-Tan Yan Kee Medical Forums which provided medical information on common and rare diseases in layman’s terms. The monthly forum aimed to promote better health information and medical options to medical practitioners.

As we traverse this three-year journey of rebuilding, I would like to express my gratitude to our partners, members of the LT Group of Companies, government agencies, and individuals for their continued support and devotion. Thus, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, Officers, and Staff of the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. I wish to communicate my deep gratitude to all of you. Let us join hands in Rebuilding the Community and the Environment through our core and innovative programs. As one, let us leave a legacy of a more learned community where there is sustainable livelihood and where residents will enjoy a greener and healthier environment.

FOCUS ON Leyte 12

13

TYKFI was one of the first non government entities which flew and delivered emergency supplies to Leyte just a few days after Yolanda hit the region. Despite the difficulty of transporting goods to the province, the Foundation was able to bring truckloads of basic necessities to 50,000 families through the HOPE Caravan. This year, the Foundation still led other private entities in bringing relief and other forms of assistance to the devastated province. Over 163,000 packs of milk and food items through partnerships with countries like Thailand (Green Spot Co. Ltd.-through MacroAsia Corporation) and Singapore (Singapore Foods- through Asia Brewery, Inc.), were distributed to more than 30,000 pupils from various public schools.

In response to the call for assistance to restore

or rehabilitate homes, schools and other buildings destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda, TYKFI jumpstarted the 57-permanent housing project in Leyte. Through this housing assistance, the Foundation did not only extend disaster relief but also long-term and more permanent solutions.

The province was also selected as one of the

beneficiaries of the Chua King Ha educational centers, the TYKFI school buildings which were specially designed in honor of Chua King Ha, mother of Dr. Lucio C. Tan and the wife of Tan Yan Kee, Dr. Tan’s father.

14

TYKFI jumpstarts the construction of schools, a 57-unit permanent housing project and a barangay hall with day care center and clinic in Leyte.

15

The Foundation has distributed school supplies and food items to thousands of schoolchildren in the province.

Construction of these school buildings commenced in 2014 in two barangays in the province of Leyte.

Infrastructure support was also provided to the Most Holy Trinity Parish Church

in Alangalang, Leyte through the restoration of its damaged ceiling and electrical connection.

Through the Adopt-a-School Program, TYKFI visited 12 elementary schools to

hand out school supplies to thousands of children. Meanwhile, the Foundation also donated wheelchairs to disabled students who had difficulty going to school.

All these efforts for helping rebuild the province of Leyte were recognized as the Foundation received an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis in the form of a plaque given through the people of Leyte.

DR. LUCIO C. TAN LEGACY FOREST PROJECT

18

19

Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem and are habitat of 80% of the Earth’s biodiversity. A major source of oxygen, they also provide wood for shelter, material for communication, medications for good health and protection from natural disasters. The harvest and use of forest resources, however, can negatively affect the ecosystem and man’s quality of life. Because man and forests influence each other in both positive and negative ways, the Foundation deemed sustainable forest management as crucial; thus, the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project was born.

20

Through the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project, the Foundation

committed to plant over 15 million trees in 10 years to help address the problem of global warming and leave a legacy of a greener and healthier environment.

Once mature, the trees will also provide the community with both ecological and socio-economic benefits such as carbon sink, wildlife habitat, raw material supply, improved water quality and sustainable livelihood.

The Foundation aimed to achieve these positive results by planting

various forest and fruit trees, vegetables, and root crops using the agroforestry approach and through eco-tourism within the planting areas and neighbouring communities.

The Foundation has already planted a total of 120,000 of various

species in the 240 hectares of land in Laguna and Quezon. Meanwhile, over a million potted seedlings were produced in Laguna, Quezon and Nueva Vizcaya. Operations in the central nursery in Laguna, Quezon and Nueva Vizcaya where the seeds and wildlings (species include Acacia Mangium, Ipil-ipil, Palong Maria, Narra, Mahogany, Malaruhat, Batino, etc.) are collected, sowed, germinated, watered and weeded had been ongoing.

The Foundation enjoined local residents to work on the nurseries and

fields allowing the new livelihood of nursery planting to flourish in the three provinces. In addition to the nursery projects, TYKFI also organized road repairs and maintenance of the muddy and undeveloped roads leading to the locations in the forests where the seedlings will be permanently planted.

(Opposite page) Dr. Lucio C. Tan, TYKFI’s chairman and president (left), joins UPLB Chancellor Dr. Rex Victor O. Cruz in the launching tree planting activity of the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project.

This resulted to a more efficient and organized transport of seedlings and planting strips benefitting not only the project, but also the community who started to have new job opportunities.

21

22

23

Las-Ud Mangrove Project TYKFI continued to work on protecting the fragile ecosystem of mangroves as part of restoring the environment and preserving their natural beauty. The Foundation planted over 3,800 mangrove (Bakawan) seedlings and propagules via the Las-Ud Mangrove project as the coastline required protection from storm surges and flooding, as well as restoration of the habitat for the small fishes.

24

The project is in line with the government’s Four Impact Mangrove Project: provisioning, regulating, support and socio-cultural function. The residents from Barangay Las-Ud in Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur were very grateful for the project as it would greatly help in preserving the area’s ecosystem and protect the communities from the dangers of massive flooding.

This project is also in conjunction with the 2,000 mangrove

seedlings planted by TYKFI in Boracay in the province of Aklan. The Foundation further promoted environmental protection and rebuilding damaged mangroves in the Visayas region through the Roots for Boracay project launched in 2012.

25

Education 26

Education is key to a developed community and a revitalized environment. The Foundation recognizes that quality education will ensure that its projects in the communities will flourish and progress further, as the youth who get the best education will be better equipped to sustain their improved conditions in life.

27

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM The Foundation doubled its efforts in addressing the problems of low National Achievement Test (NAT) scores, absenteeism and increased number of dropouts among poor students. This year, the Adopt a School Program tried to reach more school children living in far-flung areas like mountainous regions, disaster zones and island provinces where access to affordable school supplies is hampered.

28

Over 11,000 students in seven provinces all over the country benefitted as the Foundation alleviated the cost of education to families by bringing school provisions such as bags, notebooks, pad paper, pencils and slippers in a massive scale of the Adopt-a-School program.

The recipients of the school supplies also included Day Care

pupils from the municipalities of Dupax del Norte and Dupax del Sur in Nueva Vizcaya during a distribution event on October 11, 2014.

The Foundation also distributed food packs to school children in

Nueva Vizcaya and Ilocos Sur in the latter part of the year during social interaction with both teachers and students. The TYKFI food pack consisted of candies, noodles, sardines, milk and yogurt for proper nutrition.

Meanwhile, the Foundation reached out to three districts in Eastern and Western Samar namely, Hernani, Guiuan North and Basey I. In addition to school supplies, the Foundation also distributed more than 1,000 packs of various vegetable seeds to the students to aid victims of the more recent Typhoon Ruby and as part of the Department (Top right) The Foundation reaches out to three districts of Eastern and Western Samar through distribution of school supplies and vegetable seeds in support of the schools’ “Gulayan sa Paaralan” Project.

of Education’s Gulayan sa Paaralan project.

Over 2,000 students benefitted from the Foundation’s donation of school supplies and seeds. The set of school supplies included a bag, notebooks, pad paper, pencils, and a pair of slippers.

CHUA KING HA EDUCATIONAL CENTERS Year 2013 saw the establishment of the pilot Chua King Ha educational centers in Nueva Vizcaya, in honor of the late Chua King Ha, mother of Dr. Lucio C. Tan. With the model Chua King Ha building, the Foundation had since been guided in providing teachers, students, and the community with new and improved school facilities.

This year saw the replication of the educational centers in

Babayoan Elementary School, Sta. Lucia North Central School, and Bantay East Central School in the province of Ilocos Sur where some school buildings were short of classrooms, condemned or razed by fire. Since the low-income communities to which these schools belong could not afford the construction of new buildings, the Foundation stepped in and helped them build the new Chua King Ha Educational Centers.

Babayoan Elementary School had shortage of classrooms,

especially for the kinder class which is mandatory in the K-12 program.

Sta. Lucia North Central also had shortage of classrooms because three of the classrooms were razed by fire in 2013. The formerly decrepit school building in Bantay East Central School needed immediate replacement to ensure the safety of pupils and teachers.

35

E-TV PACKAGES DISTRIBUTION The Foundation believes that quality education can be best achieved using a variety of modern or supplementary media facilities. Armed with its mission to rebuild the community, the Foundation reached out again to another 25 schools in the province of Nueva Vizcaya, on top of the 18 schools previously provided for with the E-TV packages. The pupils from schools which are located in hard to reach terrains mostly benefitted from the new E-TV packages. The E-TV package is composed of 1 unit- Sony LED Television, 32-in, 1 unit- Sony

36

HDMI DVD Player, and 33 Volumes or 501 episodes of Educational Video Materials composed of Sine’skwela, Math-tinik, Hiraya Manawari, Epol/ Apple, Bayani, Episode Guide Disc and Teacher Training Disc.

Meanwhile, TYKFI, in partnership with ABS-CBN Foundation, also reached out to some public schools in Region I, CAR and Region 2 by providing teachers training on the proper utilization of E-TV packages and distributing educational DVDs. The Foundation aimed to provide alternative education to Filipino pupils by providing readily accessible audiovisual references to classrooms especially in public schools.

Teachers who were trained in the E-TV learning system came from a total of 73 schools.

37

TEACHERS’ TRAINING There is a need to restructure the public schools’ curriculum in response to the K-12 program of the government. The Foundation—in continuous support of equipping our educators with the right tools and resources, conducted different “Train the Trainers” seminars for teachers from different parts of the country. The seminars were conducted through the Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education (FUSE) and has benefitted over 17,000 principals and teachers to date.

One of these seminars was conducted by the Foundation for public elementary and high school teachers from Leyte. TYKFI partnered with the Department of Education - Leyte Division and FUSE by bringing six teachers each for English, Chemistry, Physics, Math and Science and Health and three supervisors totaling 33 trainees for a five-day program.

TYKFI sponsored a three-day training program for 27 Grade 3

Reading teachers from Regions 1 and 2 at the Reading Dynamics Center in Pasig City. The training provided the teachers with academic, technical, and moral support and guidance under the K-12 system. The training was centered on the paradigm shift of the teachers; a shift from the traditional approach in teaching of reading in acquiring and internalizing a general knowledge on the conceptual, applying Understanding by Design (UBD) in the process, thus reaching all children, whether gifted, average or slow learners. Under this program, the teacher is viewed as a concept developer and through his or her own gifts and talents, he or she will be able to unlock the pupils’ verbal potentials.

38

The Foundation also partnered with

Department of Education and the UPLB College of Arts and Sciences by bringing 31 high school science teachers from Vigan City and Nueva Vizcaya to the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) for a 10-day workshop in four Science subjects and topics that they will need to teach under the K-12 curriculum. The trainings not just transpired inside the four walls of a classroom at UPLB Physical Sciences and Biology Building, but also around the UPLB grounds where the air and sceneries were conducive to learning. A few of the enjoyable activities were: volcano modelling (from ordinary grocery materials), stargazing under the UPLB sky, and applying projectile motion through a ‘Minute to Win It’ contest.

41

SCI-FUN CARAVAN AND SCIENCE SPARKS The Foundation continued to bring Science Exhibits to provinces in order to fast-track the development of interactive learning in the regions. Through hands-on experiences, the pupils’ curiosity to learn more about science is rekindled. The Sci-Fun Caravan in Ilocos Sur served about 16,000 public elementary students while the Science Sparks! Traveling Science Centrum in Nueva Vizcaya catered to over 28,000 students, parents, and teachers.

Meanwhile, the Foundation sponsored the educational field trip of principals and teachers from 16 high schools in Nueva Vizcaya to the Science Centrum in Marikina City and at the Mind Museum in Taguig City. At this state of the art Mind Museum and Science Centrum, the teachers gained a deeper knowledge of the social and historical aspects of Science and became aware of the critical thinking skills needed to learn and understand Science.
