Philippine Business for Social Progress
STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT We believe‌
FIRST Private enterprise, by creatively and efficiently utilizing capital, land and labor, generates employment opportunities, expands the economic capabilities of our society, and improves the quality of our national life.
SECOND
The most valuable resource in any country is the person. The higher purpose of private enterprise is to build social and economic conditions which shall promote the development of the person and the well-being of the community.
THIRD
The growth and vigorous development of private enterprise must be anchored on sound economic and social conditions.
FOURTH
Private enterprise must discharge its social responsibility towards society in a way which befits its unique competence. It should involve itself more and more in social development for the total well-being of the nation.
FIFTH
Private enterprise is financially and technologically equipped to participate actively in social development. In terms of scientific technology and managerial competence, private enterprise can help provide the total approach for social development in our depressed communities.
SIXTH
Private enterprise, together with other sectors of society, shares obligations and responsibilities, which it must discharge to the national community. The ultimate objective of the private enterprise is to help create and maintain in the Philippines a home worthy of the dignity of the person. Therefore, To better fulfill its social responsibilities, private enterprise must earmark a portion of its income for social development. We hereby declare our commitment to the PHILIPPINE BUSINESS FOR SOCIAL PROGRESS, which shall be private enterprise’s social development arm dedicated to the empowerment of the poor and self-reliance of communities.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
My dear friends An extraordinary occurrence reminded us that all humanity are part of one rich tapestry—the basic fabric of which has been laid out as a gift from nature—but whose design is woven by each of us through our individual and collective action. Typhoon Ondoy, according to scientists, was a rainfall event that statistically occurs once in 180 years. Not one of us will forget those days last year when our homes, livelihood, and businesses were flooded by the unceasing rains of typhoons Ondoy, Pepeng, and Santi. Our Foundation responded quickly to these disasters with a PHP 5 million relief-andrehabilitation fund approved by your Board of Trustees. Members swiftly widened our reach through contributions in cash and in kind, and by sending volunteers to help. Thank you so much for this bayanihan spirit, which brought immediate relief particularly to our assisted communities in Metro Manila and Central Luzon. Regrettably, these disasters occurred at a time when businesses were still feeling the adverse effect of the global financial crisis which started late 2008. Despite the difficult times, the membership contributed PHP 71.54 million pesos to fund the Foundation’s poverty reduction programs. This attracted PHP 253.05 million pesos from donor agencies and non-members, who continue to regard PBSP as the strategic steward of their resources and their partner in development. We are indeed grateful for our partners’ confidence in PBSP. With these resources, we stepped up our operations and assisted more than 200,000 families this year – particularly in the poorest rural communities. We disbursed PHP 422.18 million in grants and loans, an increase of 22% from last year. Likewise, new project approvals increased to PHP 398.67 million or 12% higher than last year. We welcome 17 new members who have committed to practice corporate citizenship together with PBSP.

PBSP Annual Report 2009
We begin this year, the first of our 8th FiveYear Plan for Poverty Reduction, faced with the more daunting task of rehabilitation. That said, our past efforts should provide us the confidence to engage this rehabilitation work with the damaged communities along the principles of risk reduction and sustainable development. Today, with more than 30% of Filipinos living in poverty and exposed to new threats from our despoiled environment, we must ring the bell of corporate social responsibility more loudly. We challenge corporate citizens to allocate more resources for poverty reduction and sustainable development. We urge businesses to innovate in order to attain greater symbiosis between economic development and environmental sustainability. After all, it is said that “The time is always right to do what is right.� Indeed, the time to build and rebuild better communities is now. Every new day presents an opportunity to improve lives, create livelihood and community wealth, educate a child, prevent diseases, and protect the earth. Together, we can help the poor mold a brighter future for his family with the strength of his own hands. Thank you and may God bless PBSP and our country.

REAPING A GOOD HARVEST TODAY, PLANTING FOR GREATER YIELDS TOMORROW Tapped by the United Nations to spearhead the promotion of the Millennium Development Goals to the business sector, PBSP’s 7th Five-Year Plan, which ended in 2009, outlines our strategy to mobilize the sector to help achieve the MDGs. This we did by facilitating a square-table discussion on the country’s MDG accomplishments, the factors that hinder the attainment of targets, and opportunities for business involvement. We developed a roadmap for Philippine business leadership in responding to the Millennium Development challenge. Promoting the MDGs This year, our Center for Corporate Citizenship launched the MDG Menu of Social Programs for members and business groups to adopt. We pursued the following MDG advocacy activities: 1) The Business and MDG Environment Cluster launch—in partnership with Philippine Business for the Environment (PBE), Earth Day Network and Pollution Control Association of the Philippines, Inc. (PCAPI)—of the Zero Basura Olympics for Business, a competition that supports the Ecological Waste Management Act 2001 by recognizing innovative and effective solid waste management practices of businesses; 2) formation of a core group among Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc., UNAIDS, International Labour Organization (ILO), Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) and PBSP to drum up the business sector’s response to HIV/AIDS following alarming reports that infections among the productive age group in Metro Manila has increased sharply; 3) MDG campaign in five cities, through the Family-based Actions for Children and Environs in the Slums (FACES), reaching about 60 businesses and encouraging alignment of their CSR initiatives with the LGUs’ MDG programs; and

4) formation of the Poverty Cluster Sub-committee on Human Settlements composed of utilities and construction companies, and pilot run of its first project, a medium-rise housing project at SANAHACO 1 in Pasay for 120 families. Our Working Youth and YuPPeace programs encouraged companies to provide opportunities for out-of-school youth and young Muslim professionals from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to develop better skills for employment. Expanding our Membership We continued to expand PBSP’s membership and encouraged collective participation in our corporate citizenship programs. We are pleased to welcome 17 companies, bringing our membership to 255. The new members as of December 2009 are: Bangko Kabayan; BIOESSENCE; CIBO, Inc.; Camamiq Foods, Inc. (Johnny Rockets); CDO Foodsphere, Inc.; Espina, Perez-Espina & Associates, Architects; Golden Prince Hotel & Suites; HSBC Philippines; M&H Food Corporation; Sagittarius Mines, Inc.; The MayFlower Inn; TSM Shipping (Phils.) Inc.; Virginia Foods, Inc.; Bohol Resort Development, Inc.; Philpacific Insurance Brokers & Managers, Inc.; Sunstar Publishing, Inc.; and VIVANT Corporation. Members and employee-volunteers contributed to campaigns, such as the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela to provide assistance to public elementary and high schools. Members also responded to the needs of communities affected by calamities such as the flooding in Misamis Oriental, fire in Zamboanga City, and Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. The Motolite-PBSP Balik Baterya program collected approximately 320 tons of used

lead-acid batteries for recycling, and generated PHP 6.5 million from members and other donors. The funds were allocated for various infrastructure and education projects.
Harvesting the fruits of corporate citizenship At the end of the 7th Five-Year Plan, we are seeing a rich harvest of member-companies contributing significantly to the MDGs. On top of their support to the programs of PBSP, members implement their own corporate citizenship programs.
The vignettes that follow demonstrate how 49 PBSP members, both large and small, are undertaking corporate citizenship programs in health, poverty, environment, and education.* They disprove the notion that only large companies are capable of doing well, and only small companies are capable of innovation.
PBSP’s 8th Five-Year Plan outlines a broad strategy of elevating social development from an add-on function of corporations, to being central and strategic to business. This direction parallels PBSP’s shift of focus from corporate social responsibility, which implies the obligations of business to the less privileged — meaning business doing good for the poor — to corporate citizenship, which implies obligations of business to all of society, meaning business doing good with the poor. As the vignettes show, there are already green shoots of companies that are seamlessly integrating social development into their core business.
These companies and many others realize that greater alignment between a social development agenda and business objectives and operations ensures sustainability and greater effectiveness of their social investment. They join others in believing and proclaiming that social development must be planted firmly at the core of the business.
* The Editorial Team acknowledges with thanks the member companies for these CC project briefs.

BUSINESS ADDRESSES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT By Elisea “Bebet” Gozun Former Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary and Awardee, United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Champions of the Earth
Extreme weather conditions are present more often now than ever before. The devastation brought by typhoons Milenyo, Reming, Frank, Ondoy and Pepeng made global headlines. Typhoon Ondoy brought 368mm of rain in mere six hours, more than the 330mm monthly average for September. While skeptics believe that these have nothing to do with climate change, the reality is that we are experiencing and suffering from more extreme weather. Ondoy’s destructive floods were exacerbated by man’s actions. Unplanned and uncontrolled growth led to the burgeoning of settlements in low-lying areas, and the indiscriminate disposal of garbage impeded the flow of waters. The denudation of the Marikina watershed, with only 20% forest cover, left few trees to absorb water and stall the speed of runoff, and inadequate root systems were not able to minimize soil erosion. Floodwaters could not subside normally since waterways were heavily silted. Recent calamities have highlighted the urgent need to take better care of Mother Earth. They make a compelling case for us to seriously rethink the way we develop and live, as well as evaluate the formulation and implementation of policies on environmental protection and human settlements at the national and local levels.

AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT The Area Resource Management (ARM) is PBSP’s focused response to the call for sustainable development.
Sustainable Development—the Way Forward During the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, many countries adopted the principles of Sustainable Development (SD), which encompass environmental preservation, economic growth and social development. Sustainable development helps reduce poverty and improves quality of life, but does not degrade the environment or jeopardize the needs of future generations. In practical business terms, it is using only the interest from a bank account while keeping the principal intact. At the village level, it means extracting ground water equal only to the amount of natural recharge of the aquifer to avoid saltwater intrusion and land subsidence. Many people think that sustainable development is only about protecting the environment. It is of course central to sustainable development and serves as one of its pillars. But equally important are the two other pillars of economic growth and social development. SD can be likened to a stool: it is strong only if it has all three legs together all the time. Thus, SD is a wide-ranging concept concerned not only with living within the carrying capacity of the earth’s support systems but also with the people’s quality of life, with equity within and between generations, and with social justice. It requires an integrated approach that brings together a sound and viable economy, social cohesion, ecological integrity and responsible and participatory governance to ensure that development is a lifeenhancing process not just for humans but for all life on earth. After all, we are all interconnected. What happens to one part eventually affects the others.
Begun in 1991, the ARM builds upon its predecessor, the Provincial Development Strategy (PDS) implemented in 15 of the poorest provinces in the country. It was shaped by the emergence of new issues in development as well as the lessons learned by the Foundation in two decades of helping the poor. These include balancing short–term economic needs with long–term sustainable development, gender and development, decentralization and local governance, the growth of corporate social responsibility, and stronger public-private partnership. The latter years of the PDS having been greatly affected by major calamities of nature, the ARM is PBSP’s earliest systematic articulation of its lesson on mainstreaming ecological awareness and disaster preparedness and mitigation into its development strategies, on the symbiosis between development and the environment, and consequently, on the imperative for a development model that satisfies the needs of the present and future generations. As a refinement of the PDS, the ARM also reflects PBSP as a learning organization in seeking economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and impact of development efforts. It thus harmonizes the three aspects of sustainability: social organization, economic improvement, and environmental preservation, as represented by the diagram below.
LOCAL GOVERNANCE, GENDER EQUALITY, BUSINESS SECTOR INVOLVEMENT

Corporations and Sustainable Development The challenge of SD is the translation of its principles into day-to-day policies, programs and projects of the business, government, community and individual sectors. Business has a key role to play to make that shift toward SD. Not only can it do so in its own operations; but through its products and its advertising, it can influence how and what people consume. Through corporate social responsibility, it could influence and support communities as well. In addition, as a leader in society, business can lend its voice and play a pivotal role in advocating for a more sustainable path toward development. Adopting Green Growth is an imperative not only for the sustained growth of the business community but, ultimately, for the sustainability of the entire country Many Philippine corporations have done remarkable actions on their own or in partnership with
NGOs, local governments, and other multi-lateral organizations, as can be seen from the following examples. Promoting Clean Power as Social Responsibility Energy Development Corporation (EDC) shares in the mission of environmental protection and community development. Its geothermal operations supply 12% of the country’s power, rendering unnecessary the use of more than 130 million barrels of crude (with its emissions of 5.21 million tons of carbon dioxide) and thus preserving foreign exchange reserves of PHP 4 billion. EDC has also planted an estimated 6.2 million trees and launched the BINHI program to promote biodiversity. It pursues a paperless policy, uses biofuels for its vehicle fleet and LED bulbs for lighting, and adopts energy conservation measures. In addition to channeling PHP 3.0
PBSP RESPONDS TO DISASTERS The Early Years: Relief and Social Credit
1971 Social Development Credit for Typhoon Victims in San Dionisio, ParaĂąaque Soon after its founding, PBSP tested the effectiveness of a social development response to a disaster. Instead of the traditional approach of doling out relief goods and services, PBSP restored the productive capabilities of typhoon victims in San Dionisio, Paranaque through social credit on top of relief grants. The loans helped replace fishing boats, motors, nets, salt stockrooms, sarisari stores, and other occupational facilities. Similar projects helped rehabilitate flood-stricken areas in Central Luzon (1972 flooding) and Northern Mindanao (1981 flooding). 1984 The deadliest typhoon in 1984, Typhoon Nitang left 1,492 dead, over 200,000 homeless, and thousands without livelihood.

The Foundation also extended grant and credit assistance to help rehabilitate the economic activities of victims, who were involved in rice and vegetable production, and poultry and hog raising. In response to the Mount Mayon eruption, the Foundation gave food relief and medical assistance to 700 family-evacuees from Budiao, Banadera, and Matnog in Daraga, Albay. Rehabilitation activities were also undertaken. 1987 Supertyphoon Herming lashed central Philippines with its 249 km/hour speed. PBSP funded a housing relief program to assist 2,500 families in Sorsogon. Implemented with the Diocese of Sorsogon, the project helped repair damaged houses using lowcost materials available in the area. PBSP also provided credit to 200 marginal farmers in Eastern Samar for livelihood recovery and housing repair, and crop rehabilitation for upland farmers in Marinduque.
billion to the national and local governments, EDC has also spent PHP 180 million for community development projects of 122 upland farmers associations focusing on livelihood, education and health. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation is continually studying issues on energy diversity, energy security, efficiency and carbon management. As a direct result of its research, it has implemented energy conservation measures and introduced new products that help reduce fuel use and reduce emissions. Shell is the largest global marketer of biofuels, which are made from cellulose, so as not to compete with the food chain. It is also building its capability to use technology to capture and store carbon dioxide. Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) initiatives in energy efficiency and clean energy have resulted in its 98 cell sites being powered by wind and a hybrid combination of wind and solar energy. In 2010, another 60 cell sites will be equipped with hybrid power.
Late 1980s: Scaling Up Disaster Response through Partnerships 1988 In response to Typhoon Unsang, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) channeled funds to PBSP. Because of its emergency nature, the assistance had to be provided in 60 days. PBSP mobilized 12 proponent organizations in Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga and Zambales. As a result, rehabilitation efforts reached 3,953 families from 21 municipalities. In Northern Samar, the Australian Embassy’s medicines and seeds assistance reached 3,500 families. 1988 - 1989 Red tide outbreaks affected Manila Bay and Maqueda Bay in Samar. The Office of the President and the Department of Agriculture requested PBSP to help provide alternative livelihood to affected fisherfolk. Through PBSP’s network of NGOs, emergency credit provided income for 1,670 affected families.

The earthquake crippled the vegetable industry in Baguio City all the way to the northern town of Buguias, Benguet. PBSP thus provided a mix of capacity-building, infrastructure, livelihood credit, and marketing support to fledgling cooperatives. The rehabilitation program targeted 15,000 earthquake victims and covered Nueva Ecija, Baguio City, Benguet, Nueva Vizcaya, Pangasinan, and La Union. Among the cooperatives assisted was the Baguio Buguias Development Multi-purpose Cooperative (BABUDEMCO), which then had 35 members. Today, BABUDEMCO serves 4,000 members. PBSP helped organize the Corporate Disaster Response Network (CNDR), a network of business associations and foundations, to coordinate their disaster response. It linked up with the InterAgency Network for Disaster Response (IANDR), a network of nine national NGOs engaged in disaster management, which PBSP also helped organize. The linking of these networks from the corporate and NGO communities hastened an efficient relief effort: CNDR mobilized resources while IANDR facilitated the distribution of goods.

Les Amis de Soeur Emmanuel of France, CODESPA of Spain, and the European Union were partners in this program. The housing resettlement sites built in the Buensuceso and Arenas Resettlement Areas in Arayat, Pampanga, were later turned over to CNDR.
1991 The Mount Pinatubo eruption drew grants from the USAID, the Dutch Embassy, the European Community, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief and other Canadian NGOs. PBSP set up temporary shelters built by the evacuees themselves through a cash-for-work scheme.
The Mt Pinatubo experience hurtled PBSP into the full circle of disaster management—from relief, to temporary shelter, then permanent resettlement and development. Insights were drawn from this and other experiences, which helped strengthen PBSP’s interventions.

It has increased access to clean water from 25% to 99% of its service area and reduced non-revenue water from 63% to 20%. Moreover, MWC has gone beyond compliance with environmental standards by promoting the reuse of grey water to flush toilets and water gardens in the UP Ayala Techno Hub. Biosolids from its wastewater treatment facilities is used as fertilizer in lahar affected areas to boost productivity. To share economic benefits, MWC has given PHP 24 million in job orders to eight cooperatives, and
committed to invest in the restoration of the Marikina watershed. MWC strongly believes that its SD business model is dependent on the communities that it serves and the environment that supports its resources. Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) embarked on a forest project as a corporate response to the Infanta landslides and flooding. DBP has forested close to 5,600 hectares through 26 forest plantation projects, in cooperation with schools, NGOs and LGUs.

PBSP RESPONDS TO DISASTERS Applying the Lessons: Focus on Sustainable Development By this time PBSP had seen that development was dependent on the sustainability of an area’s ecology. It also saw the limitations of the project dispersal approach of its earlier strategies. With many small projects, it was spreading itself too thinly and could not generate impact on poverty reduction nor address environmental problems that were emerging. Thus, it sought a balance between the requirements of social development and the sustainability of the environment in its Provincial Development Strategy of the 1980s and onward to its present Area Resource Management (ARM) strategy. In ARM, disaster mitigation and preparedness were integrated particularly in atrisk areas. 1992 A quadrilateral effort among Philippine NGOs, U.S. NGOs, and the Philippine and US governments resulted in a Debtfor-Nature Swap, which established the Foundation for the

Philippine Environment (FPE). FPE is considered the largest Philippine grant-making institution outside of government for the environment and sustainable development. It was organized to help reverse the rapid destruction of the Philippine natural resource base through a strategic and integrated conservation program. Working with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) USA, PBSP served as the interim trustee of FPE’s funds and developed its project appraisal, monitoring and evaluation systems. 1995 Philippine NGOs, this time working alongside Swiss NGOs, lobbied the Philippine and Swiss governments to convert Philippine commercial debts into an endowment fund to be managed by the Foundation for a Sustainable Society, Inc. (FSSI). PBSP helped in FSSI’s establishment and formative years, with PBSP/CODENGO’s Aurora Tolentino serving as its first chairperson.
2005 is the processing of its residual waste with cement to produce various concrete products. The Balik Baterya (literally, return of battery) program of Ramcar, Inc. has allowed it to recover 80% of used lead and acid batteries in the market. In addition, Ramcar helps ensure that toxic waste is handled by authorized recyclers. Part of the proceeds from recycling used batteries go to the La Mesa Watershed and PBSP’s Project LEAP, which helps public schools achieve global educational standards.
Sustainable Tourism and Fostering Biodiversity Ten Knots in Palawan recognizes that sustainable eco-tourism is vital to its business operations. It works closely with stakeholders to treat wastewater, compost biodegradable waste, and
manage residual waste. All guests are given briefing on the environment and encouraged to participate in monitoring biodiversity in the area. In addition, they are reminded to bring back solid waste generated during their stay in the resort. Ten Knots has conducted studies on the carrying capacity of its dive sites and surveyed reef fishes. The resort buys food supplies locally and patronizes sustainable farming, thus influencing community practices directly. Alsons Aquaculture Corporation uses fry produced in its own hatchery, and not from the wild. The company did this long before the public learned that rising temperatures and climate change could adversely affect marine life and reduce the productivity of seas in the tropics.

Carbon Reduction Bauang Power, Dole Asia, the Aboitiz Group, Philippine Airlines, Island Transvoyager Group, Ford Philippines, and Globe Telecom, along with many other companies, have joined the Green House Gas Accounting and Reporting Project (PhilGARP). With technical assistance, they assess green house gas (GHG) risks and opportunities, and benefits from GHG reduction. They have also identified GHG mitigation projects and created a reliable accounting and reporting system. Absolute Chemicals Inc. launched a Clean Development Mechanism project to reduce almost 96,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by capturing methane from its wastewater treatment.
San Miguel Corporation breweries in Mandaue, Davao and Polo treat their wastewater with an anaerobic biological process. Biogas recovered is used as boiler fuel. In 2008, this translated into almost PHP20 million of savings in bunker fuel oil. Business Unusual In the face of climate change, business as usual is no longer an option. Unless concrete actions are taken to integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation in the economic and physical development plans of government and in the business plans of companies, efforts to reduce poverty could be negated. As proven by recent disasters, poverty is aggravated. People could lose homes and other properties. Economic gains over the years could be wiped out. Agriculture and fishery production could substantially decrease, threatening food security and nutrition. There could
PBSP RESPONDS TO DISASTERS 2006 to Present: Building Back Better 2006 PBSP helped develop the master plan for the rehabilitation of Guinsaugon after the tragic Southern Leyte landslide. With support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Foundation helped the province craft a Provincial Disaster Management Plan. To date, many donors and partners have helped relocate 990 families in eight resettlement sites. PBSP was also tasked to help create livelihood opportunities in the new village. One of the successful livelihood interventions was the introduction of marine culture technology using fish cages. From losing everything to the landslide, the survivors are now important suppliers of large quantities of milkfish in the area.

Thus, not only does business need to think outside the box; it needs to close the box of unsustainable production and consumption. It is imperative that it does its share in maintaining the symbiosis between environment and development. The sustainable development initiatives of some companies highlighted here show us that this can be done. They demonstrate that good environmental management is good business and beneficial for the people. It is key to long-term survival. The power to do so, however, does not lie with companies alone but with each one of us. As the

Typhoon Reming brought PBSP members back to Bicol to assist affected communities recover their income. First wave of livelihood, education and rehabilitation assistance was implemented through the support of donors to the Festival of Trees fundraising campaign and the Spanish government through Fundacion Humanismo y Democracia.

Rachel Carson, a scientist and an idealist, is the author of the landmark book Silent Spring, which highlighted the growing dangers of DDT and other pesticides and chemicals. Published in 1962 at a time when hardly anyone talked about the environment, “Silent Spring came as a cry in the wilderness”. It led to the ban on DDT and gave rise to the modern environmental movement. According to Al Gore, “Without this book, the environmental movement might have been long delayed or never have developed at all”.
2008 PBSP members provided relief assistance and funds for palay trading and rice marketing to Iloilo farmers affected by Typhoon Frank. PBSP’s comprehensive plan includes the introduction of organic farming, and multi-crop farming technologies to farmers. 2009 Immediately after Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, PBSP released PHP 5 million for relief operations. With additional funds from members and corporate partners, over 10,000 families were assisted in NCR, Laguna, Pampanga, Zambales, and La Union. Doctors serving on the USAID’s TB LINC program extended medical assistance to various communities. PBSP rehabilitated livelihood activities and granted selective moratorium on urban poor housing loan payments.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES, SUSTAINING THE ENVIRONMENT
With the call to reduce poverty in the Philippines sounding loud and clear, challenges such as the worst global economic
downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s in the United States and the resulting dramatic slowdown in the local economy should not get in the way of finding the needed answers. This is why despite the inescapable adverse effects of the crisis, we forged ahead and pursued our various programs guided by the vision of helping as many Filipinos caught in the tight grip of poverty and helplessness. Our efforts continue to bear fruit in the final year of our current Five-Year Strategic Plan for Poverty Reduction. The following are some of the highlights of our work the past year.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS: Empowering Communities, Sustaining the Environment

Our flagship poverty reduction program, the Area Resource Management, brings together components of the health, enterprise and education programs in some of the poorest areas in the Philippines.
ARM calls for three key interventions. The first involves the development of sustainable livelihood projects for the community members to earn more. The second inculcates the values of self-reliance and cooperation by building strong community-based organizations that can be developed into enterprises. The third integrates the value of a conserved environment to contribute to sustainable development. PBSP’s ARM program comes in many forms and each is making positive impact on the community.
Metro Manila Every year, the urban population grows exponentially due to the number of families from the provinces seeking employment opportunities in the cities. Unfortunately, the exodus has taken its toll on the quality of life in the cities, thus giving birth to urban poverty. PBSP’s response to the phenomenon of urban poverty is the Strategic Private Sector Partnerships for Urban Poverty Reduction (STEP-UP) Program, which directly responds to the goals of sustainable development and environment stewardship by providing decent housing to families living in the slums. This year, the program was able to improve the living conditions of 14,575 urban poor households in 46 communities in 12 cities in Metro Manila. Over 500 households benefited from improved roads and upgraded drainage systems, and close to 130 houses were either built or upgraded. The pilot phase of the program was funded by the Asian Development Bank–Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (ADB-JFPR). Subsequent expansion was funded through the reflows from the loan assistance of ADB-JRPR.

Around 300 households were given livelihood opportunities and some 850 individuals from 16 homeowners associations were trained on organizational development, financial management and risk reduction. Also through STEP-UP, a metro-wide advocacy for urban greening and awareness of Climate Change was conducted. All these investments come under the premise that improvements in the human condition can be sustained by self-reliant and strong communities that believe in and work toward reducing urban poverty.

Bicol PBSP responded to the rehabilitation needs of Bicol, which was devastated by a series of typhoons, with the creation of the Bicol Integrated Area Resource Management Program. The ARM initially covers Albay, Camarines Sur and Sorsogon. Over 500 households have been assisted through livelihood programs. Bancas and livestock were distributed to help the residents get back on their feet. PBSP deemed it proper to contribute to Bicol’s improvement since even before the series of typhoons hit the region, the majority of the local residents earned below the poverty threshold of PHP 5,200 a month. Lack of education and job opportunities led to low productivity and income. More projects are in the pipeline in 2010, including the rehabilitation of classrooms, training of farmers and fisherfolk on alternative sources of livelihood, disaster management and organizational building. Cebu The importance of bringing the Cebu Hillylands back to life cannot be emphasized enough considering how it is a major source of water for household and industrial consumption in the Metro Cebu. Thanks to the Cebu Hillylands project supported by PBSP members and partners, the Buhisan Watershed Forest Reserve, Central Cebu National Park, Kotkot-Lusaran Watershed Forest Reserve, Mananga Watershed Forest Reserve and Sudlon National Park that comprise the Cebu Hillylands are growing from strength to strength.

And as they grow, the incomes of the farmers in the areas are surging, too, because of PBSP programs to introduce them to agroforestry, production of highvalue vegetables, cut flowers and abaca. Since the program was launched, poor farmers that used to make do with long obsolete farming technologies are now earning more from new crops. And their heightened awareness of sustainable agriculture has made them better and more passionate stewards of the environment. This year, 4,479 hectares of the 29,062-hectare Cebu Hillylands were reforested by households who make up PBSP’s community partners and 2009 also marks the addition of the Buhisan Watershed and Forest Reserve to the coverage of the project. The Save the Buhisan Watershed Project gears to rehabilitate Buhisan, provide income opportunities for the poor residents and transform it into an eco-tourism destination. All of the projects in Cebu Hillylands this year reached 4,370 households. Samar Samar is one of the poorest islands in the Philippines and the depletion of its marine resources has worsened the Samarenos’ quality of life. PBSP seeks to address their plight by disseminating valuable knowledge on sustainable agriculture to farmers and cascading innovative marine technologies to fisherfolk through the PBSP Coastal and Upland Technology Testing and Verification Center.

Located along Maqueda Bay, which supports 14 towns in Samar, the Center tests and validates culture systems of high-value marine species. Tested and mature technologies are then cascaded to fisherfolk. This year, upland farming and coastal livelihood projects improved the lives of 6,107 households. In addition, 1,800 students gained additional knowledge from basic education projects implemented all over the island. Olango Island On Olango Island in Cebu, PBSP blends environmental conservation with the delivery of socio-economic assistance to fishing communities. Family health services, sanitary toilets and potable water systems were provided. Residents were mobilized to engage in seaweeds farming, an economically-viable and environment-friendly livelihood venture. Denuded mangrove sites have been reforested and marine sanctuaries are maintained while environmental education is taught in the island’s public elementary schools. Bohol Bohol used to be one of the poorest provinces in the country and limited knowledge in farming was a great cause of poverty. PBSP responded by implementing projects on palay trading and rice farming, which transformed the farmers into net rice exporters. Today, Boholano farmers further assert their competitiveness in the field of rice production by going organic in their farming. Their banner farming technology is vermiculture, the production of organic or chemical-free fertilizers, which PBSP developed at its farm, the Center for Rural Technology Development (CRTD) in Calamba, Laguna.

AREA RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Southern Leyte In 2006, the landslide in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte shattered the dreams of people in the village of Guinsaugon. PBSP and its donors and partners channeled the attention of the landslide victims to productive activities. One of the evident demonstrations of the people’s recovery is the mariculture project. The project in St. Bernard, a replication of the technology developed by PBSP in Samar, has made the town an important supplier of large quantities of milkfish and other high-value fish species in the area. Guimaras Also in 2006, an oil spill impaired the livelihood of people of the island province of Guimaras. While the province’s marine waters were still recovering, PBSP augmented the income of the people via projects on vegetable production and livestock-rearing. And now that the sea is gaining back its good health, PBSP is intensifing the people’s production of seaweeds, which are now exported to areas as far as Cebu. Iloilo In June 2008, Typhoon Frank ravaged Iloilo and among the most affected were the rice bowls of the province. PBSP’s speed in the delivery of relief assistance alleviated the people’s misery. For their long-term recovery, farmers accessed financial assistance for palay trading and rice marketing. We introduced organic and multicrop farming technologies to farmers. Tawi-Tawi Some of our beneficiaries now tend to seaweed farms, which earn for them additional income. Recognizing their dependence on the environment, they patrol their marine resources as Bantay Dagat. This community-based effort helped eliminate dynamite fishing. We integrate income-generating activities to support our education program in the area. Hence, earnings from seaweed faming have been used by families to support the education of their children.

It is often said with a passion that every Filipino has the right to a decent education. And yet many are still denied this basic and most effective tool in crafting a better life, especially in conflict-ridden areas of Mindanao.
This helps explain why PBSP saw it fit to dedicate our members’ resources to the education of children in the Philippines’ second largest island whose intellectual and social progress was disrupted by conflict and lack of material resources. It is the least that PBSP could do to help children who, despite the conflicts and extreme poverty, still firmly believe that they could break out of poverty through education. To help turn these lofty goals into reality, additional public school buildings were constructed to accommodate the increasing number of students committed to complete their education. Dilapidated classrooms were repaired and equipped with tables and chairs; and books were provided to broaden the children’s knowledge. Scholarships and financial assistance were provided to those in the most difficult of circumstances.

PBSP’s partnership with Philam Foundation, for example, is already on its 8th year. Through Philam’s Aid for Basilan Children Project, children like Charlaine Sembrano from the almost forgotten barangays of war-torn Basilan were able to go to school. She finished grade school with honors and is now more hopeful of doing just as well in high school. PBSP also facilitated the donation of 250 bicycles to public school students under the aid package of the Agencia Española de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarollo (AECID) through Fundacion Humanismo y Democracia (H+D), which is being implemented in Zamboanga Peninsula. Through this program, students like Dennis Cañete no longer have to wake up before dawn each morning just to make it to school on foot before six since they now have their own bicycle. In Tawi-Tawi, the teachers, parents and students came together to implement a waste recycling program, proceeds of which were used to assist more than 300 indigent schoolchildren. Helping get this landmark project off the ground was the training that the parentsteachers association went through with support from the U.S.

The need to ensure the survival and growth of micro, small and medium enterprises has never been more pressing than in times of financial crisis. When big businesses fail or slow down, it is the MSMEs who keep the enterprising poor connected to the economic chain. After all, they constitute the backbone of the Philippine economy, particularly in the rural countryside where there are hardly any large businesses. PBSP has long recognized the crucial role that MSMEs play in economic growth and its Enterprise Development Program is geared toward improving the MSMEs’ access to both financial and business development services to enable them to further grow their business, generate employment and continue contributing to reducing poverty. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Credit In 1989, USAID and PBSP established the Small and Medium Enterprise Credit (SMEC) Program through a Trust Fund to help accredited rural and thrift banks and microfinance institutions extend more loans to SMEs, with the Department of Finance as beneficiary. USAID phased out of the program in 1995, but PBSP continues to revolve these to this day, benefiting hundreds of SMEs nationwide. In 1995 and 1998, the Kredintanstalt fur Weideraufbau (KfW) augmented the SMEC funding by PHP 389.7 million (₏11 million) under a bilateral loan agreement among KfW, Land Bank as the borrower, and PBSP as the Project Executing Agency. Collectively, the SMEC Program has disbursed more than PHP 3 billion since its inception. This year, the program added another PHP 113.5 million, which benefited 5,396 MSMEs and helped create 3,713 new jobs. This year, too, we fulfilled our plan to reach out to the so-called base of the pyramid through our partnership with PinoyMe Foundation, to which

PHP 29.5 million was released. Over 3,000 enterprising poor, mainly women, have been extended life-giving microcredit. Business Advisory Program MSMEs can now do more than get by because of much help from friends that they met through PBSP’s Business Advisory Program (BAP). BAP was initially implemented in partnership with the Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO) with funding support from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

The financial grant from CIDA ended in March 2008 but PBSP has since institutionalized the BAP and folded it into the non-credit component of the Enterprise Development Program, complementing SMEC. Under this program, volunteer advisers from different fields—including employees of PBSP members and professionals from the public and private sectors—are tapped to help MSMEs improve their operations, thus strengthening their ability to help others. This year, 78 MSMEs availed themselves of business advisory services and are now part of the close to 400 MSMEs that were assisted by dedicated volunteers who helped in the areas of marketing strategies, setting up of simple accounting and inventory systems, costing and pricing and business planning. Some 115 of these enterprises have demonstrated remarkable improvements in operations and production efficiency, product quality and increase in markets, sales and assets. These MSMEs are engaged in organic farm production, handicraft-making out of recycled paper, coconut husks and other indigenous materials, and pastry production, among others.

The Philippines has been producing winners since 2006, which proves that Filipinos have great ideas when it comes to reducing poverty by embracing the market as espoused by PBSP and its partner BiD Network Foundation. The national-level competition this year produced 102 innovative business ideas ranging from ylang-ylang soap to biotech engine oil. These business plans attracted more than PHP 13 million worth of investments with another PHP 9 million under negotiation. The top eight business plans generated 148 new jobs nationwide.

The saying ‘health is wealth’ may sound trite, but nobody can question its truth. PBSP knows this only too well, which is why it continues to be involved in many projects geared toward improving the delivery and financing of health services. One major health project involves tuberculosis. Controlling and Preventing Tuberculosis: TB LINC Tuberculosis may be a disease of the past in most developed countries, but not in the Philippines. Through the collaboration of public and private stakeholders, however, the country will soon join the roster of countries that will successfully eradicate the scourge of TB. The Linking Initiatives and Networking to Control Tuberculosis (TB LINC) program aims to boost the goal of the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP) to prevent and control the curable disease from which close to 80 Filipinos die every day. By assisting the Department of Health and the local government units deliver quality TB services, this USAID-funded program will contribute to the national target of detecting 70% and curing 85% of TB cases. Since 2006, much has been achieved. There has been an increased rate of cases detected in 17 out of the 21 priority provinces. Where there was none at the start of the program, a total of 60 LGUs have issued policies that allocate resources for TB control. The human resource capacity of the local health personnel has been enhanced through intensive training and coaching. Through 23 NGOs, 100 community TB support groups have been mobilized to support both policy advocacy and TB education activities nationwide. This year, TB LINC showed increasing convergence of efforts targeting four major stakeholders: patients, health service providers and managers at the LGU and national levels, local government officials, and communities. This reflects TB LINC’s intensifying assessment of the TB situation from both the demand and supply sides, and applying the required solutions to address gaps in both. On one hand, patients and communities’ demand for quality health services forces the LGUs to improve their services. On the other, improved health services encourage patients to seek help, thus contributing to lower TB. Encouraging cooperation among the different sectors is in line with the recently developed Philippine Plan of Action to Control TB (PhilPACT), to which TB LINC contributed technical assistance. 52

Access to Health for Mothers and Babies The Philippines is committed to improving maternal health in accordance with the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. As such, PBSP is contributing to the achievement of this goal through its programs to improve the health of mothers and babies. In Caraga Region and Zamboanga Peninsula, community assessment and capability training for health volunteers and other stakeholders in education are ongoing. In another partnership with AECID and H+D, PBSP was able to provide at least 34,000 women access to maternal and child health care services. Reaching Waterless Communities In Maguindanao where many areas still do not have access to safe water, PBSP marshaled resources to install three water systems that will benefit 1,500 households.

As we conclude PBSP’s 7th Five-Year Plan for Poverty Reduction, we do well to take stock of what we have accomplished from 2004 to 2009. We launched our Plan with the challenge to leap forward. As the lead convenor of the Business and MDGs campaign, PBSP rallied businesses to align their programs with, or support MDG-endorsed projects. By 2009, 547 companies had reported their contribution of PHP 2.53 billion through direct support to or alignment of programs with the MDGs. The UN cited the Philippines as one of the good examples in the world of how the business sector could contribute to the global campaign to end poverty. The numbers grew in the past five years. In 2008, PBSP’s assets breached the PHP 1 billion mark. That same year saw members contributing PHP 75.84 million, the highest on record. Five-year member-contributions totaled PHP 335 million, which is 81% higher compared to the prior five years’ total. From 183 members in 2004, we grew to 255 in 2009 net of the companies that were no longer active. With the contributions of our members, we attracted and generated PHP 1.13 billion for projects from donor organizations. Over PHP 1.9 billion were disbursed through grants, financial assistance, and development loans. We built human and organizational capacities to help stamp out poverty. Our assisted schools particularly in poorest, conflict-affected areas in Mindanao are performing better in national achievement tests. Participation rates and school attendance have also improved significantly. Through PBSP, development partners and the business community invested PHP 476 million for education and information technology.

“We created more than 6,000 new jobs and strengthened the competitiveness of micro, small and medium scale enterprises...”
We built the foundations of self-reliant communities. We organized and trained more than 70,000 households in 378 poor communities in priority areas in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. We trained these organized groups on productive and organizational skills. The key results are access to livelihood opportunities and income increases demonstrated by at least 30% of poor households reached. More than 20,000 families now have potable water, and 30,000 are provided with health care. More than 5,000 families have security of tenure and now live in permanent and better houses. We nurtured enterprises through credit and non-credit assistance. We created more than 6,000 new jobs and strengthened the competitiveness of micro, small and mediumscale enterprises with our combined credit and business advisory assistance. These results were realized despite the market’s liquidity, which contributed to loan draw-down equivalent to only 30% of our target, or PHP 448 million.

We forayed into nationwide intervention for disease prevention and quality health care. With our track record in mobilizing multiple stakeholders, implementing workplace health programs, and transparency and accountability to donors, we were entrusted with the management of a US$ 12.5 million grant from the USAID in support of the National Tuberculosis Control Program. The first three years saw local governments enacting supportive legislation and committing budgets for TB control. By engaging communities in changing behaviors towards TB, an increase in TB treatment outcomes has been noted in many of the project sites. We sustained the environment and responded to disasters. Calamities contributed to incidence of poverty over the past five years. Guided by the principles of sustainable development, we helped move families out of danger, rehabilitated livelihood, and rebuilt self-reliant communities. Four years after the landslide in Southern Leyte, we are now ready to phase out and turnover our programs to the survivors who have organized themselves into a capable homeowners’ association. We reforested a total of 5,380 hectares of forest cover. Additional 1,596 hectares were reforested for agroforestry and 139 hectares for mangroves. Marine protected areas we regenerated reached 51 hectares. @

As we ended our 7th Five-Year Plan, disasters have befallen the country, hitting our poor communities the hardest. Our poor communities remain most vulnerable to disasters. With climate change, the threat of disasters looms larger. Thus, in our 8th Five-Year Plan, we will ensure that our poverty reduction programs integrate disaster risk management efforts. We will innovate and harness the technology of business to address poverty and other social problems. Forty years hence, businesses anywhere still acknowledge that to embrace the tenets of corporate citizenship is to ensure the survival of businesses and society. Getting business involved in creative problem-solving that combines tested social development and business technologies is reinventing PBSP as it reaches midlife. Life, indeed, begins at forty!
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS: Empowering Communities, Sustaining the Environment

TREASURER’S REPORT
FY 2008 - 2009
PBSP met the challenges of fiscal year 2008-2009 head-on. Many of our member companies faced their own challenges but their generosity generated PHP 71.5 million in contributions, which were matched 3.54 times by grants amounting to PHP 253.05 million from donors and partners, both new, and old. Combined together, contributions reached PHP 324.59 million, slightly up from PHP 323.44 million previously. From a fund source perspective, your Foundation raised 91% of total revenues from support from contributions and grants. The performance of our investments continued to be influenced by the setback from the global economic crisis, as our trustee banks’ combined investment income closed this year at PHP 27.42 million against PHP 36.98 million in fiscal year 2008. As a result, your Foundation earned PHP 356.74 million in revenues, lower by 2.41% from the past year’s PHP 365.35 million. I am happy to report that at least 85% of total monies spent went to projects and that our cost to raise a peso was 15 centavos. From an expense standpoint, our core projects in health specifically tuberculosis, education, basic services and sustainable livelihood grew by almost 4% from PHP 294.47 million in 2008 to PHP 308.12 million this fiscal year. Mindful of our fiscal responsibility, your Foundation kept operating expenses at similar levels as the previous year, or at PHP 44.0 million. Total expenditures reached PHP 361.89 million in 2009 against PHP 350.85 million previously. From the perspective of efficiency, your Foundation is proud to report that our operating expenses accounted for only 12.32% of total support and income for the year just ended. We closed the year with an operating deficit of PHP 5.14 million.
We managed to maintain a solid base, with assets of PHP 982.24 million.
Deferred support decreased from PHP 216.22 million to PHP 195.54 million due mainly to a correction of prior years’ impairment losses of restricted financial advances. Of total deferred support, PHP 52.14 million has been appropriated by the Board for specific projects, compared with PHP 47.03 million previously. Payments of the principal amortization of the small enterprise facility brought down fund liability to PHP 359.46 million from last year’s PHP 370.16 million.
58
PBSP Annual Report 2009
Fiscal year 2009 may have been a tough year but your Foundation managed to bring up fund balance to PHP 385.10 million or 5% better than the PHP 368.15 million posted last year. Of these, PHP 17.16 million is a liability for future year payments on already approved grants. In addition, our reserve for future projects grew stronger from PHP 325 million in 2008 to PHP 335 million this year. Collectively, you have all helped us ensure a solid foundation to withstand the challenges that the year brought. Our fiscal year ended with Typhoon Ondoy’s deluge and destruction, rendering countless fellow Filipinos helpless and poorer, yet drawing strength and hope from every other Filipino’s spirit of bayanihan. Much has yet to be done, as we enter the new fiscal year. We will continue to maximize every donation, every contribution, and ensure that we remain fiscally responsible and efficient while rebuilding lives, restoring communities and respecting our planet. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my deepest gratitude to all our members, donors and partners who made our work possible.
Ramon R. del Rosario, Jr. Treasurer

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Philippine Business for Social Progress, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and of its support, income and expenditures, the changes in its fund balance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.
