OUR COVE R
Forging Community Partnerships Towards Food and Environmental Security In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic persisted in deepening the crises around us and affecting even more of our countrymen. In this world of the ‘new normal’, the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. continued to stay relevant through the various assistance and solutions it invested in. This year on the ground, with its commitment to the environment as well as to the communities it touched upon, it continued to build not only dignity and resilience, but also productivity and sustainability.

T
his year, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Foundation continued with pursuing its goal of becoming an exemplary model in environmental stewardship and farmbased food production initiatives. The Foundation’s Legacy Forest Project experts planted trees and protected forests, while keeping on with its food-based initiative, supporting vulnerable communities during the pandemic, and promoting dignity as it advanced its methods in food productivity. This was accomplished by engaging in sustainable innovations with community partners, learning from what works and what does not, thus gathering collective knowledge and sharing impact with others. 3
Under its environmental program, the Legacy Forest Project has consistently brought focus on safekeeping the environment and maintaining biodiversity. Over 70,000 seedlings of various species were planted at the Project’s two reforestation sites in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija which could help draw more abundant and clean water supply and increase carbon sequestration potential per tree. In addition, the 285 hectare of endemic forest within the main protected area continues to abound with biodiversity. TYKFI’s agroforestry and chili farm produced 30,000 kilograms of various crops this year. By growing healthy produce, improving its access, and building awareness in sustainable farming, the Foundation serves as a bridge to alleviate and prevent urban food insecurity. Food productivity in turn also helps build resiliency amid these challenging times. As the economic burden is taking a toll on countless families, we recognized the need to directly respond at a community level. As a result, TYKFI gave out rice and fresh produce to self-isolating, quarantined families. In cooperation with PAL Foundation, TYKFI took part in community pantries to serve agency frontline personnel as well as with Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. to serve residents and COVID-19 patients at the Hospicio De San Jose. Community pantries this year have become an extraordinary expression of human compassion with countless donors remaining nameless and pouring out empathy in abundance. It has been a way to share what one has, closing the aid gap with those in need. 5
The Foundation made fresh vegetables available to employees of sister companies at very low cost. Meanwhile, TYKFI also supported Masaganang Palayan by giving hybrid palay seeds and farm inputs to marginalized farmers for an efficient use of their land. Amid the supply chain challenges that arose from the lockdowns, TYKFI sees to it that it does its part to combat food insecurity and to offer reprieve to vulnerable communities from the hardships of the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout the year, TYKFI has completed several community-based relief responses. The HOPE Caravan, together with the donations of MacroAsia Catering Services, Inc., rolled out healthy meals for our medical frontliners from seven hospitals in Manila, one community parish, and an elementary school. MacroAsia’s partnership also brought ready-to-eat snacks to 4,000 families of Marikina affected by the destructive floods of Typhoon Ulysses with the help of the volunteers from Philippine National Bank. With the difficulties that Typhoon Odette brought towards the end of the year, the TYKFI’s HOPE Caravan also brought much needed aid to worst hit areas. TYKFI held a vaccination drive for employees and third party service providers to hasten protection and the restoration of economic activity in communities. The vaccination was given for free to speed up the healing process in the provincial areas. The Foundation also donated various essential medical supplies to local government units in the Metro and hospitals like the Sta. Ana Hospital and Ospital ng Maynila. 6
Under its program in Education, TYKFI assisted a total of 142 farmers’ children to promote equality in education, 11 scholars in agriculture and forestry to rear up future environmental and agricultural experts, 92 exemplary college students, 21 law scholars to promote law and prosperity, and two medical specialty scholars abroad. This school year being the second school year of no in-person classes, TYKFI also came to the rescue of three elementary schools in Ilocos Sur and two schools in Nueva Vizcaya, providing much needed printers and supplies to ensure uninterrupted printing of modules and learning for the students in these poor communities. To sustain these students and their families, TYKFI also conducted rice distribution for six public elementary schools as well as high school scholars from Saint Teresita’s Academy in Nueva Vizcaya. The online trainings conducted by Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education (FUSE) focused on the holistic learning approach for both the teachers and the students, with partnerships forged to cater specialties in several subject areas. Meanwhile, the Tan Yan Kee Library in Binondo, Manila continued its summer class by holding it virtually as it brought the Chinese language and culture to life to enthusiastic parents and children alike. At this point in our journey, I would like to thank the men and women of the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc., the Board of Trustees, officers and staff, and especially our partner food producers for their dedication to our mission and vision despite the harsh circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic this past year. 7

I would also like to offer my sincere congratulations to the Foundation for winning the Asian Sustainability Leadership Award for Social Sustainability and Community Development. During these unprecedented times, let us focus our programs to respond to the needs of our nation, and in our own way, remove barriers to solving these challenges. As we look forward to a new year, let us sustain our resolve toward our mission and vision, and like beacons of light, create safe and productive communities and environment that we can proudly leave to the next generations. Thank you.

Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project
T
he Foundation continued addressing the pressing concern of climate change and environmental sustainability as it marked its seventh year of implementing the Dr. Lucio C.
Tan Legacy Forest project. For 2021, at the 930-hectare planting site in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija, around 77,748 seedlings of Alibangbang, Narra, and Sampaloc were planted covering an estimate of 31 hectares of land. Other activities included the process of carbon stock inventory, fire prevention, and illegal activities monitoring through round-the-clock stationary and roving guards.
12
To evaluate the development of the reforestation efforts on the 56-hectare planting site, the TYKFI team of experts conducted Forest Inventory Assessment and Analysis on the said area. It aims to determine the physical characteristics of the area; determine the stand characteristics (height and diameter) of the growing forest stock; identify the species diversity, distribution, and density; estimate the forest carbon stock; and produce a baseline database for further studies and forest conservation and management.
13
Meanwhile, Mangium trees or Acacia mangium are widely used to improve soil fertility and help in carbon sequestration. The Mangium trees planted in Barangay Balete, Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya in 2015 have grown to as high as 15 meters. This endemic species helps in restoring degraded lands and mitigating the effects of climate change.
14
Another project site also began in Tanay, Rizal, wherein around 3,064 Falcata seedlings were planted in an estimate of 4.60 hectares of land. The project also aims to improve the biodiversity in the area and provide new livelihood opportunities for the locals.
15
As an offshoot project of the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project, the Foundation’s model agroforestry farm in Brgy. Digdig, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija was able to produce an estimate of 32 tons of various vegetable and fruit crops, which have reached various consumers including employees of sister companies throughout the year.
16
With this initiative, not only does the Foundation engage and train local farmers in responsible and sustainable farming, but also hopes to help the government deal with food security concerns by delivering fresh and healthy farm-to-table produce.

Las-Ud Mangrove Rehabilitation Project
T
he Las-Ud Mangrove Rehabilitation Project in Barangay LasUd, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur continued to prosper, providing
biodiversity and support for marine life. Barangay records showed that fisherfolk can get three to 10 kilos of fresh catch daily. The 12-foot tall mangroves became a sanctuary for aquatic species such as crabs, clams, and mussels. When the Bakawan, the local mangrove species reached their full height, they instantly became a tourist attraction for the locals. The community leaders continued to actively promote responsible fishing and ecotourism to protect and sustain the project’s environmental impact.

Teacher Trainings
F
or two years now, the mode of learning in the Philippine
education system has shifted to the emergency measure of virtual education or distance learning. To help address the challenges amidst these extraordinary times, Foundation for Upgrading the Standard of Education (FUSE) continued to respond with its trainings through webinars and assemblies for teachers nationwide. To gather and enhance its content, FUSE came up with a seven-pronged approach called 7 Ms or Spheres of Teaching-Learning Process. This constitutes and focuses on Matter (content), Mentor (teacher), Mentee (learner), Materials (resources), Methodology (approach and strategies), Measurement (monitoring and evaluating progress and achievement), and Management (structure). From May 22 to October 30, 2021, several teacher training webinars were conducted for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) teachers in partnership with Filipino Science Hub and Philippine Normal University. The project is both standards-referenced (i,e, inputs) and standardsbased (i.e. outputs). With these, FUSE is cognizant of the effects of the lockdowns and online classes on students and teachers alike, and finds the opportunity to reach out and provide much needed solutions through the help of its trainers and volunteers.
