President’s
Report
T
HIS YEAR, nations around the world faced not only the spread of a health crisis brought by the Covid-19 pandemic but that of a humanitarian one as well growing rapidly and worsening human suffering in
various forms. Central to our attention were the difficulties faced by the most vulnerable of our marginalized fellow Filipinos. The activities of your Foundation in Health Care, particularly in Disaster Response, Social Welfare, and Education thus focused on providing support and restoring their confidence to face challenges. Before us was a remarkable task of healing and recovery as we try to become better stewards of our environment, for this generation and the next.
Your Foundation, especially during the first two months of the
government-imposed Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), with the cooperation from the members of our group of companies and other partners brought much needed resources to various groups of beneficiaries. We sent help to two big Manila hospitals and a parish community in the National Capital Region (NCR), while also sending help to rural families, hospitals and essential front liners in Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Leyte, Occidental Mindoro, and Ilocos Sur. 3
Thus, the HOPE Caravan team was commissioned to the forefront of the
pandemic, delivering alcohol, bags of relief food items, hygiene kits, various personal protective equipment (PPE), infrared thermometers and granulated chlorine solution. Besides the initial response, several of the municipalities and institutions also received replenishment of supplies.
At the start of the year, your Foundation also saw Taal Volcano’s unexpected
eruption displacing thousands of families that sent them into evacuation centers, losing countless individual livelihoods. Your Foundation through the HOPE Caravan lost no time in throwing a lifeline to thousands of citizens in Batangas. Relief goods, household start-up kits, and LTG Chairman’s gift boxes were distributed to communities and evacuation centers with volunteers and partners from Eton Properties Philippines, Inc., Philippine Airlines, Philippine National Bank, Tanduay Distillers, Inc., and Dong-A Pharma Phils., Inc. Your Foundation also mobilized the clearing of some ash-covered roads.
HOPE Caravan also spearheaded the distribution of relief goods to
families affected by the October 2019 Mindanao earthquake swarms, in North Cotabato and Davao del Sur.
Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.’s goal of mitigating climate change and
combatting environmental degradation has led to a series of reforestation efforts under the Legacy Forest Project since 2014.
4
In Nueva Ecija, your Foundation added more than 50,000 tree seedlings
of various species to the forestland under the care of the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project. It likewise implemented strict measures to ensure the protection and nurturing of the f lora and fauna within the forested area to improve biodiversity.
TYKFI’s agroforestry project in Barangay Digdig, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija,
meanwhile, also continued producing tons of various “Bahay Kubo” vegetables, delivering a healthy produce to the local communities and LT Group’s employees while providing sustainable livelihood to the project’s farmers. Your Foundation also ensured work environmental safety by providing tips and expert advice at disease prevention and necessary screening against COVID-19.
One tree at a time, it is thus hoped that there will be a continuation of this
mutual reinforcement between farmer and land. In this sense, as the farmers nurse the forest back into paths of increased biodiversity, wildlife protection, and pure water source, and as they nurture the soil back into productivity, may it be so that nature as well as the crops it produces will not only support livelihood, but also enable the farmers to feed themselves and others.
In the midst of the pandemic, your Foundation also continued its
commitment to quality education amongst the poorest of the poor as well as the deserving qualified college scholars under the UE-TYKFI Scholarship
5
Program for various degree programs and the TYKFI College Scholarship Project for agriculture-related degrees.
Under the TYKFI-STA Scholarship for Farmers’ Children, there are more
than 100 continuing intermediate scholars for the current school year while 22% of the previous year’s scholars received honors upon culmination.
The TYKFI-FLP Legal Scholarship Program, in partnership with the Foundation
for Liberty and Prosperity, produced its second set of bar exam passers – 13 in all, with two topnotchers who placed sixth and ninth respectively. This year, 10 third year and 10 fourth year scholars were awarded scholarships for A.Y. 2019-2020.
The Tan Yan Kee Library held it first Online Summer class from June to July,
as well as recorded its own videos on relevant topics, and had it sent via various social messaging platforms.
Despite the pandemic situation, the Foundation for Upgrading the Standards
of Education (FUSE) continued to provide much needed support. FUSE started to upload its content in Chemistry (Chemistry CONSTEL or Continuing Studies via Television) onto its FUSE YouTube Channel – “FUSE Chemistry in Action”.
We were also able to send two medical scholars abroad for the TYKFI-ABI
Medical Specialty Scholarship Program, for their specialty training in renowned medical institutions abroad.
66
Your Foundation also extended its support to the Philippine Red Cross, in
partnership with the Philippine National Bank, to provide quality life-saving services to the Filipino people, especially during emergency and disaster related situations; and to Brixton Hills Fire Prevention Unit, a member of the Association of Philippine Volunteer Fire Brigades, to strengthen their operations and response to fire incidences in the area.
Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to the men and women of
the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, its Board of Trustees as well as its partners for their continued faith in our Vision, Mission, and Core Values. In the spirit of a renewed commitment to our Vision and Mission, we shall continue to bring education, environmental stewardship, health care and disaster response into emphasis, especially to the most vulnerable - those hardest hit by the pandemic crisis.
Let us respond. Let us care, as in our tradition, where we are needed, when
we are needed.
Dr. Lucio C. Tan Chairman and President Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.

Environment R
elative to the negative impact of various human activities and development, we are increasingly experiencing various catastrophic events around us such as the rising of global temperature, extreme weather patterns, biodiversity loss, as well as forest fires and deforestation. In recent memory, our nation also suffered from flooding, droughts, and a water crisis. Forests play an important role in our environment, addressing trends in environmental degradation that also lead to climate change along its ramifications. This brought the Foundation to develop projects that would help us overcome these overwhelming challenges at regional and global scales.

Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.’s Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project, now on its sixth year, is committed to leaving a greener legacy for this and the future generation. The Program has so far helped restore degraded Philippine forests using mainly native tree species; protect existing ones; establish carbon sinks; conserve biodiversity; improve and produce ecologically stable ecosystems; and provide livelihood opportunities especially to upland communities. Project sites include 930 hectares and 56 hectares in Nueva Ecija; 600 hectares in Quezon and Laguna; five hectares of mangroves in Ilocos Sur and Boracay Island; and a Mango Orchard in Palawan.
11
Environment
12
Reforestation is also replete with its own challenges that
require careful planning, mobilization, execution, and constant maintenance and protection. The project site in Nueva Ecija specifically, suffers from low rainfall, very degraded soils, high threat of forest fires, and illegal activities among others.
The project also continued with its efforts in careful
selection of hardy species, caring for the nursery, planting with right timing, plantation maintenance, and prioritizing of forest protection against fire and illegal activities, as well as community engagement. Initiated in 2019, the socio-demographic and farm lot survey of the 930-hectare project area also continued in cooperation with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
Meanwhile, the 56-hectare Friendship Park, a nearby site
allocated for reforestation and future ecotourism, saw an additional five-hectare plantation establishment and systematic replanting, maintenance and protection efforts.
In 2017, the DENR granted the Foundation an additional
56-hectare land to reforest in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. To date, it has covered around 35 hectares under the project’s plantation efforts, with continuous protection of patches of existing trees.

The program also included the aspect of food security with
the training of farmers in growing chili and various “Bahay Kubo” vegetables. With this, they learned to produce quality vegetables while using sustainable agriculture. Under
this
agroforestry
project, the Foundation ensured that the farmers learn more tree-planting like
techniques
Earthballing
and
Bamboo Propagation. Earth-balling involves digging a hole in order to keep the root ball intact and transplanting the entire tree
Environment
16
to another location. It serves as an economically and environmentallyfriendly way of preserving our trees from one environment to another, boosting a tree’s survivability as a result. On the other hand, learning to propagate bamboo trees are also a highly significant skill as bamboo trees are productive plants with positive environmental effects.
17
Meanwhile, the Foundation commissioned
a private mobile laboratory clinic to conduct a Rapid Antibody Testing and COVID-19 Awareness and Prevention Lecture for all project farmers and workers. A licensed medical doctor thoroughly explained to the farmers the spread of, prevention against, and current measures to combat the virus. All farmers and workers tested negative for presence of the virus.

At the Palawan Mango Orchard, the Foundation continued its
Mango propagation activities between January and September. Other activities included plantation maintenance, harvesting, as well as utilization of Hydroponics or the system that uses a solution of water and nutrients to grow various crops.

TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program for Farmers’ Children
Among the poorest of the poor that we serve are children of farmers. Education for these children holds the power towards a bright future for themselves and their families. Our young learners have been a source of inspiration as they continue pursuing their education whatever there may be.
The TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program for Farmers’ Children
saw 34 scholars or 22% from Grades 7-11 receive academic recognition upon completion of school year 2019-2020. 41 scholars completed Junior High School and three have finished Senior High School. For S.Y. 2020-2021, there are 141 continuing scholars from Grades 8 to 12 and three elementary schoolchildren.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC Since our nation and the world began grappling with effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation has responded by launching a campaign through the HOPE Caravan, to distribute relief food items and medical supplies to hospitals, rural health units, and communities both in Metro Manila and in the countryside. The societal, economic, and health-related impacts have been swift and hard especially to those who lack resilience and a safety net, as well as to our front liners – our real-life heroes who have put their lives on the line.
31
This year, the Foundation distributed 1,862 liters of alcohol;
81,765 pieces of facemask; 1,370 bags of relief food items; 50 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE); 25,000 pairs of examination gloves; 303 unit of infrared thermometer; 1,500 tubes of petroleum jelly; 700 bottles of body wash; 300 tubes of lotion; and 17 containers of granulated chlorine.
The beneficiaries included indigent community members,
and front liners such as barangay health workers, rural health unit workers, hospital workers and checkpoint personnel.

Education W
ith the intrusion of the COVID-19 pandemic upon our nation, many households, under the affected economy, became less able to support their children’s education as much as they would like to. This along with the technological, social, and educational disruption that came with the pandemic posed a grave threat of exacerbating the gaps already in existence especially for the underprivileged and vulnerable. In light of this and in order to persist in impacting our nation through education, the Foundation continued to support its learners and educators under various education programs.
