THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

03

I

PRESIDENT’S REPORT t is with a sense of fulfilment that I report the

activities of our Foundation for the year just past.

Highlighting the advocacy on Education is the establishment of the Chua King Ha Educational Centers, which are focused on the provision of tools and resources that lead to a better quality of education. This means a continuing development and support for educators, students, and the community to translate to excellence in the many facets of educating generations.

Scholarships and grants take a major portion of the

Foundation’s annual budget commitment. For the University of the East-Tan Yan Kee Foundation Scholarship Program, School Year 2013-2014 has 424 scholars and 22 educational grantees.

The Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholarship Program

for the same school year has sent two doctors for post-graduate studies abroad—one in Clinical Fellowship Training in Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Yonsei University Health System in

04

Seoul, South Korea and the other in Clinical Fellowship Training in Interventional Cardiology at the National University Heart Center in Singapore.

The Foundation assisted in the construction of a 3-storey

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT post-secondary building to house workshops and auditorium for the Sisters of Mary Girlstown in Talisay City, Cebu, benefitting more than 1,000 poor students yearly. Adopt-A-School also provided provisions such as bags, notebooks, pad papers, pencils, slippers and raincoats that address the immediate need for children in a number of areas in the country.

Teachers’ training continued with the Foundation for

Upgrading the Standards of Education (FUSE) reaching out to Cavite, Leyte as well as Manila. The training covers subject areas of Mathematics, Physics, English, and Elementary Science and Health.

Other education-centered projects demonstrated

a continuing broadening of the facets of education that the Foundation is embracing. They include the Sci-Fun Caravan Traveling Science Exhibits, Project Citizen, and the increasingly popular Tan Yan Kee Library’s summer activities.

Training/workshop on “Enhancement of SY 2013-2014 Annual Improvement Plan (AIP) and Discussion of SY 2014-2014 School Improvement Plan” for various public schools in Nueva Vizcaya and Ilocos Sur under the Tan Yan Kee Manpower Development Center was also undertaken to further support quality of teaching in particular and education in general.

05

In the area of Health Services, the Asia Brewery Medical

Forum in partnership with the Foundation covered various topics related to better health information and medical options every month for the year. In cooperation with the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (UERMMMC) and the University of the East College of Dentistry, the Foundation brought a team to the 2013 Kalanguya Festival in Nueva Vizcaya, who provided some 300 indigenous people with diagnosis, treatments, and medicines.

Our advocacy on social welfare once again went into

full gear as a large portion of the country suffered from what many consider one of the strongest typhoons in history. Hope Caravan rolled for the victims of Yolanda (Haiyan) to reach some 10,000 families.

The Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP) also

continued to rehabilitate small dams such as the Masa Florenda SWIP in San Andres, Balungao, Pangasinan. This provides irrigation to some 50 hectares of cultivated land and will benefit

08

30 farmers.

Year after year, our Foundation strives to further

enhance programs in the major advocacies of Education,

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT Health Services, and Social Welfare—all for a better life and

genuine, lasting progress for the Filipino. In the pursuit of our vision, we count the many stakeholders who support and help us in making this a reality.

Thus, on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the men

and women of the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. as well as our partners, I wish to express my appreciation for the support and cooperation in carrying the mission of the Foundation towards our shared vision. Together, we will continue to make a difference and in doing so keep the candle burning forever.

CHUA KING HA

C

hua King Ha is the wife of Tan Yan Kee and the mother of seven children, among whom is the taipan and philanthropist Dr. Lucio C. Tan.

Once awarded “model mother” by the

Philippine Chinese Chamber Association and the Philippine Chinese Women’s Association,

Chua King Ha never involved herself in the political affairs of society nor held any formal title in her lifetime. She regarded her role as charity donor, educator, and emigrant leader as her wealth.

Born on February 5, 1915 in Jinjiang City, Fujian Province,

her mother gave her rigorous training in poetry. Her father was a scholar on Qing Dynasty. She carried her home training well into her years and up to her old age still recited essays of Zhugeliang and Tang Dynasty poems without missing a line.

In 1931, she married Tan Yan Kee and eventually raised

five sons and two daughters. After her marriage, she helped her father-in-law manage their family business during the day and

took care of household duties and guided her children in studying at night. When her husband left for the Philippines with son Lucio Tan, she took over the responsibility of heading the family in Fujian. She and the rest of the family followed soon afterwards.

While Chua King Ha embraced her new home, she also

longed for her homeland and was happy for its progress in a poem she once wrote:

Seasons change, but homesickness remains

Living in a foreign land, but thinking about the homeland

Happy to see homeland’s progress

Good news is the destiny of the nation’s prosperity.

She was industrious and frugal as she was kind and

charitable. She often helped the poor and donated to people who were affected by natural disasters.

She valued education most and supported the sending

of students overseas for further study. She always believed that education is a business of investing in people and not just a profit enterprise. She spearheaded the building of schools, classrooms, and auditorium where most needed. She also gave scholarships to students to study in Xiamen University. Later on, she also donated to another school in her hometown. Throughout her life,

she always believed in the value of education, saying, “May my meager contribution help the little children grow to be useful in the service to our society through education. May they render this service to repay others.� She had this high expectation on the scholars whom she assisted—and that is to help others in return.

Chua King Ha believed that to make people productive

and good citizens, the government should increase its yearly investment in education. She also believed that the school, society, and the family also have their share of the responsibility.

She helped her husband raise seven children successfully

and who all finished schooling. All her children are successful in their business careers. She was such a good role model to her children and taught them the basic ways to be good people.

Everyone she knew would say that she was a person with a

tender and kind heart. People around her always treated her like a dear relative.

In 2003, Chua King Ha passed on peacefully at the age of

92. Thousands of people attended her funeral to pay their final respects. She lived her whole life with a loving heart for society, and her noble character is like a candle light shining and will pass on forever, encouraging the next generations in the years to come.

The Chua King Ha Educational Centers

I

n honor of the memory and legacy that the late Chua King Ha wished to keep like a candle burning forever and the strong advocacy of the Tan Yan Kee Foundation in the area of Education, the pilot Chua King Ha Educational Center at the Tan Yan Kee Elementary School (TYKES) in one of the mountain peaks of Nueva Vizcaya was established.

As it gets replicated in other areas, they will carry

the vision of providing focus and opportunity for teachers, students, and the community.

The center provides dormitories for educators that

facilitate inter-school activities and sharing of teachers, considering the difficult terrain and distances negotiated from one school to another. This is also seen to promote

16

psychological and social aspects of the educational experience.

TYKES is already emerging in the area as a well-equipped

center of learning complete with buildings, library, and computers. Macdu Elementary School’s dilapidated classrooms

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

have been replaced by new ones under the Chua King Ha Educational Centers. Baracbac Elementary School no longer uses the Barangay Hall as classroom, having been replaced by a new one that is a permanent facility for students. The most urgent need was for Canarem Elementary School, where classrooms were already certified for demolition by municipal engineers.

17

These schools—located in remote mountain-top areas

coupled with difficult roads and lack of facilities—had in the

18

past suffered from student drop-outs and lack of teachers.

Since Tan Yan Kee Foundation began work on TYKES and now moves towards the broader Chua King Ha Educational Centers, enrolment and continuing attendance have gone up to 143 students in TYKES, 224 in Macdu Elementary School,

195 in Baracbac Elementary School, and 199 in Canarem Elementary School.

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

In what many consider a missionary but rewarding

effort, the Foundation continues to provide tools and resources needed in these remote areas with quality education as its aim.

Partners Department of Education and the Local Government

Units of Nueva Vizcaya provide impetus and encouragement for all stakeholders in realizing continuing education for the young towards a productive future.

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

T

he Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. covered North and South of the country for its Adopt-A-School Program together with the Department of Education and Local Government Units in the areas.

NUEVA VIZCAYA

S

elected indigenous student populations in elementary schools in Nueva Vizcaya last June received school supplies for one school year. The package included

pads of paper, pencils, notebooks for the curriculum needs, especially as a support for students as they begin complying with the K to 12 program.

The terrain in Sta. Fe, Aritao, and Kayapa is

mountainous and students need to walk one to three kilometers under such condition. Rain makes it even harder for them to get to school. To help prevent absences because of terrain and weather conditions, TYKFI also provided raincoats, slippers, water bottles, and school bags.

29

The families, majority of whom have four or more

school-aged children that benefit from the program, mostly belong to indigenous mountain tribes involved in farming or gardening. Some are out of work or livelihood. In accordance with DepEd’s Millennium Development Goal - Education For All (EFA) and the K to 12 program’s goal of attaining skilled, employable, and college-prepared self-learners through spiral (continuous) progression, TYKFI seeks out indigenous families with indispensable needs where, without the timely provisions of such needs, their children cannot keep up with class learning

30

activities and may be discouraged to go to school, and likely than not drop out of the K to 12 education curriculum. In addition, almost all of the recipient-schools have lower than passing average NAT scores for grade 6. A total of 1,977 students received the packages.

ILOCOS SUR

I

n Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, students from Babayaoan and

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT Sidaoen Elementary Schools benefitted from the Program

and were selected due to their dire need for school supplies.

I

n Leyte, partners TYKFI, Department of Education- Leyte Division, and Tanduay Distillers, Inc.- Tacloban Sales Office reached out to 2,378 selected students within each school’s

population who normally go to school without slippers. They belong to a set of schools attended by children of indigenous families who are also most likely to be beneficiaries of the 4Ps program. Lack of slippers was used as an indicator to select only children who belong to the poorest of the poor. Aside from durable slippers, they also received pads of paper, pencils, notebooks, and school bags.

In Mindoro, a total of 1,573 pupils and students from various

elementary and high schools received school supplies packages containing notebooks, pads of paper, pencils, slippers, and bags.

34

HEALTH SERVICES

T

he objective of the advocacy on health services is to enhance the quality of health, health care, and

48

medical services in the country. It also covers infrastructure and facility improvement for public and private medical institutions all over the country.

For 2013, the Asia Brewery Medical Forum covered monthly

a wide array of interesting topics discussed by specialists of the

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Association of Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholars before some 300 participants. The presentations are done in layman’s language for ease of understanding and benefits for the audience.

Topics for the year included Minimally Invasive Total Knee

Replacement, Minimally Invasive Surgery for Women’s Diseases, Endovascular Procedures in Aortic Aneurysm, Treatment Options for Liver Cancer, Common Eye Diseases of the Elderly, Branchial Plexus Injuries, Application of Robotic Surgery in Urology, De-mystifying Lupus, COPD: The Silent Killer, Dengue, and Current Management of Devastating Traumatic Injuries of the Upper Extremity.

SOCIAL WELFARE 013 saw urgent needs for immediate response to areas in the country ravaged by natural disasters.

Typhoon Yolanda (international name

Haiyan) was an exceptionally powerful tropical cyclone that brought devastation to areas of Southeast Asia, particularly the southern part of the Philippines in early

November.

Tacloban appeared to bear the brunt of the cyclone,

which is recorded as the deadliest in the country with close to 6,000 fatalities in this city and its neighbouring areas. It is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall and unofficially the fourth strongest in terms of wind speed.

The devastation and the victims it left in its trail shocked

the world, with many nations, individuals, international and local celebrities, NGOs, and the government rushing to provide assistance and hope towards surviving and then rebuilding lives

50

and livelihood.

The Tan Yan Kee Foundation’s HOPE Caravan went to

action immediately to launch Relief Operation for the victims and survivors of typhoon Yolanda, with Chairman Lucio C. Tan personally going to the area. A number of companies of the Lucio Tan Group also suffered from the destruction of Yolanda.

Immediate needs right after the storm that were brought

by HOPE Caravan included 15,015 liters of bottled water; 1.234

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT tons of crackers; 2.49 tons of cheese; 12,000 liters of milk; 0.5

tons of noodles; 14,300 medicines and medical supplies; 1 ton of blankets. To assist in other areas of operation, the Caravan also brought 2,000 pieces of body bags.

The Foundation also flew 200 victims out of Tacloban

to temporary shelters in Metro Manila and took care as well of flying to Tacloban government officials and dignitaries, and also helped in Samar, Capiz and Palawan with packages containing water, biscuits, cheese and milk given to each family.

The Tan Yan Kee Foundation is exploring further

possibilities for rebuilding affected areas and families.

Despite the urgent necessity of many social welfare

requirements, the Foundation continued its other commitments to previously ravaged areas from earlier typhoons, bringing food assistance to provinces such as Pampanga.

Also in the area of social welfare, The Foundation’s

Small Water Impounding Project (SWIP) rehabilitated Masa Florenda Small Water Impounding Project in San Andres, Balungao, Pangasinan which provides irrigation to some 50 hectares of cultivated lands and will benefit 30 farmers.

Small dams are of particular importance to farmers and the communities for food uninterrupted food supply.
