Integration of Traditional and Modern Technology for Sustainable Living There is no doubt that the Foundation has seen more efficient processes and more benefits in implementing its programs and projects through the use of modern technology. But while it adopts these new techniques, facilities, and solutions, it continues to be reliant on many traditional ways and methods in furthering its mission of initiating programs in education, health care, social welfare, and the environment that would help promote a more sustainable living for Filipinos.

Report President’s

I

n this fast-moving world, we have continued to strive to be agents of change for the social causes around us through our holistic programs that have gained recognition both here and abroad. The year 2019 ushered in for the Foundation the award for Global NGO Leadership and Excellence, by the organizer of the annual World CSR leadership awards. In brief, our programs and projects embodied both the quintessential and the new. There were old projects and new, old partnerships and new ones. And as for the LCT Legacy Forest Project, our progress came through both traditional practices and modern technology.

On its fifth year, the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project continued

to embark on its reforestation and forest preservation activities. With its goal of growing mainly native species, its activities included seed collection, seedling propagation, planting and replanting trees, wildlife protection, biodiversity assessment and fire prevention.

The challenge of poor soil and rainfall conditions in turn caused the

project site to become a 930-hectare outdoor laboratory which included the need to have a two-stage reforestation effort in order to increase planting success rate. The project also aims to share its knowledge and engage in dialogues with students and professionals alike. Thus, we welcomed visitors such as the Chancellor of the University of California- Davis and Dean of UC-Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Science. The same goes for the more than 150 college students and professors from the University of the Philippines-Los BaĂąos (UPLB) who had paid the project site a visit.

To help make the project more sustainable were the various bottled

farm produce being processed and sold with the boost in the yield of chili, rootcrops like ube and papaya, and herbs this year. In addition, in partnership with the Don Bosco Training Center, 19 farming students worked side-by-side with project farmers and professionals in a supervised immersion experience as part of their on-the-job training.

The Foundation recently took part in the first Sustainable Lifestyle

Fair organized by PNB, where bank employees became partners with our LCT Legacy Forest farmers. In addition, classic farm byproducts like atsara or pickled papaya were all taken up by this new market of

4


employees who are taking up a cause as buyers. On our part, we served to bridge the marketing gap for the farmers, and at the same time, the farmers are delivering health to the employees in a manner that is sustainable.

The project is thankful to its farmers, agriculturists, experts, as

well as the LGU and DENR partners. Besides the livelihood provided to the farmers, we continued to share chili farming knowledge and skills with them, and are going to delve into growing “pinakbet” vegetables with them as well. The Foundation also provided the farmers with enjoyable values formation sessions and wellness activities. In addition, by marketing their products to employees of the LT Group of Companies, farmers could feel proud of their efforts in connecting people with better health.

For the TYKFI mangroves livelihood project, the mangroves

in Las-Ud, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur started to draw in a community of mud crab growers, while the mangrove site in Boracay, was the place for a workshop practicum in Good Governance and Solid Waste Management. Local government officials, teachers and some PTA from Barangay Balete, Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya cleaned-up and replanted the area.

Our advocacy on social welfare was in full gear once again as we

sent relief goods to victims of the October earthquake in Mindanao. The TYKFI HOPE Caravan, with partners and volunteers from Philippine Airlines (PAL), Philippine National Bank (PNB), and Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (TDI) brought the Chairman’s Christmas

5


gift boxes, full of food and drinks to over 2,000 survivors living in the evacuation camps.

Meanwhile, we also took up a partnership with Eton Properties

Philippines, in a project called Masaganang Palayan, for a pilot effort to positively impact our food security by giving high quality palay seeds to improve yields, allowing poor farming families the chance to improve their financial position.

We also reached out to the communities of Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya

and Carranglan, Nueva Ecija through your sports development tournament, in partnership with Tanduay Athletics of Tanduay Distillers, Inc. The grassroots sports project was a way to develop productive youths for our country by allowing the youth to find an environment to excel in, and by influencing them with values and keeping them away from drugs and other vices.

With education at the heart of the Foundation, we continued offering

scholarship programs to a diverse set of recipients – to the children of very poor farmers, medical doctors, law students, and college students. Replicating the dedication to impact lives through the provision of quality education means that such education is accessible regardless of age, socio-economic status, and remoteness.

For the UE-TYKFI Scholarship Program in partnership with the

University of the East, we have 123 new and continuing scholars and grantees for the SY 2019-2020 while a high percentage of our graduating scholars have passed their respective licensure exams. For the TYKFIFLP Scholarship Program, in partnership with the Foundation for

6


Liberty and Prosperity (FLP) and with the support of the Philippine Association of Law Schools (PALS), 20 third and fourth year law students were awarded with law scholarships for AY 2018-2019. In addition, five scholars received special rewards for finishing at the top of their respective classes, which included among them the 2019 Bar top-notcher and the fifth place passer.

For the TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program for Farmers’ Children,

160 students from grades 7 to 12 were enrolled for SY 2019-2020, while among the 150 scholars of SY 2018-2019, 19% as compared to previous school year’s 14% received academic honors from Saint Teresita’s Academy.

For the TYKFI-ABI Medical Specialty Program, in partnership

with Asia Brewery Incorporated, four scholars completed their Clinical Fellowship in various places abroad this year. Having learnt medical advances and skills in various patient centers abroad, they are ready to extend their services to our fellow Filipinos.

In selected Nueva Vizcaya and Ilocos Sur schools, we have

continued with the annual School Supplies Distribution Project, the Food Distribution Project, and Brigada Eskwela. Our steady support encouraged students as well as many day care pupils to avoid absenteeism and disinterest and inspired them to strive to be lifelong learners. To date many of the students we supported have been awarded in various interschool and district-wide competitions in academia, in declamation, and in sports.

7


The Tan Yan Kee Manpower Development Center also had

several trainings in 2019. First, was in partnership once again with Ang•Hortaleza Foundation, Inc., for skills enhancement training in Basic Cosmetology where 19 past participants benefitted from this upgrading of skills. Second, in partnership with the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur and the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, the Foundation trained 30 unemployed housewives from Barangay LasUd in Longanisa-making. Through such trainings, we provided the marginalized with an economic means wherein entrepreneurship, confidence and hope can be fostered. Thirdly, we had the opportunity to collaborate with the Philippine National Bank in the conduct of a Financial Literacy Training on financial wellness and financial management for 20 barangay treasurers of Aritao, a partner municipality of the Foundation in Nueva Vizcaya.

Meanwhile, teachers’ training has remained a top priority project

of the Foundation in partnership with the Foundation for Upgrading the Standard of Education, Inc. (FUSE). FUSE conducted training sessions around the country in 2019 and continued to engage volunteer trainers who wish to help mostly provincial teachers hone their content expertise in English, Mathematics, and Science.

To further sustain the program of improving the quality of

education, especially in the rural areas, FUSE also identified its “FUSE ambassadors” and designed tutorials for teachers who have difficulty in handling their subjects outside of their majors in partnership with different professional organizations.

At the Tan Yan Kee Library, a new class in Chinese Ink Painting

was participated in by 11 students between ages 14 to 85. The library continued with its fruitful summer class for 52 young children, further developing their proficiency in the Chinese language, and appreciation for its literature, culture, and values.

In the area of Health Services, the Asia Brewery Medical Forum,

in partnership with the Association of Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholars, covered various topics related to better health information and medical options every month.

At this point in the journey, 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 towards the mission and shared vision of the Foundation. As we tread across old boundaries of traditional practices into better innovative technology and solutions, let us continue to capture stories etched with the legacy of care and commitment toward the Filipino people and the next generation.

Thank you.

Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project Since the project’s inception in 2014, the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy

Forest

Project

has

its eyes set on achieving its

goals

livelihood

of

reforestation,

equipping,

forest

and biodiversity preservation, and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

In 2019, the Foundation has grown and maintained 198,040

seedlings of timber, fuelwood, and fruit trees. These seedlings are for plantation on the onset of the rainy season the next crop year. Continuous monitoring through roving guards and foot patrollers were also done to help prevent unwanted incidences such as forest fires and illegal entry around the area. These activities also helped conserve the diverse forms of life that are in the project areas.

Aside from the forest and farm activities, the Foundation

continued to adopt and promote self-sustenance. The Project’s able technical personnel were hand-in-hand with our farmers in trying and finding out the best practices to achieve best results in

13


14


farming and planting. Given the environmental challenges such as harsh climate, pests and diseases, and soil acidity, the past five years has not been an easy feat.

Little by little, the Foundation explored the use of modern

technology which would increase the accomplishment rate of the Project. So far, the establishment of own water impounding system, deepwell, greenhouse, concretion of walled canal, and construction of drip and fertigation system are among those activities the Project has developed this year.

Nevertheless, the project is still anchored in the traditional

approach. It has continued to be the guiding light in determining the best practices that would suit the constantly changing situation of our ecosystem today.

In April and June of 2019, key officials of the University

of California – Davis (UC Davis) met up with the Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc.’s trustees and officers led by Chairman and President, Dr. Lucio C. Tan, and discussed best practices on sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation in view of the many challenges of climate change, poverty, and food scarcity. On a separate visit to the Legacy Forest Project site in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija, UC Davis’ College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Dean Helene Dillard had an exchange of ideas with the Legacy Forest Project technical staff about the project’s challenges in crop production and management.

15


16


Continuous workshops promoting holistic development of the farmers and workers were done by the Foundation’s Administrative and Human Resources Department through activities such as values formation sessions to encourage positive attitude in the workplace, and eucharistic celebrations.

Following the vision of the project to extend its legacy to

the future generations, around 150 students of BS Forestry, Masters of Forestry, and Masters in Human Ecology from the University of the Philippines – Los Baños learned of the goals and accomplishments, experiences and difficulties, and sustainability efforts of the program.

Las-Ud Mangrove Rehabilitation Project The Mangrove Rehabilitation Project in Las-Ud, a project that was borne out of a TYKFI-sponsored mangrove planting activity in 2014, continued to help the community of Brgy. Las-Ud, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur. The mangroves or “bakawan” has since then taken root along the riverbanks of the barangay and thriving along with the marginalized community. It gave the local folks the chance to fish and grow mud crabs as an added source of living. Not only that they could sell their catch of fresh seafoods, but they can also bring them home for their families’ consumption, helping mitigate their day-to-day food expenses.

TYKFI-Eton Partnership Projects In 2019, the Foundation developed partnership projects with Eton Properties Philippines which mainly benefited local small-scale farming families.

In a project called Masaganang Palayan, 18 rice farmers from

Comon and Tabueng in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya received an average of three to five sacks of hybrid palay seeds on December 5, 2019. These were courtesy of Eton’s donation to TYKFI, which the Foundation also complemented to give sacks of hybrid seeds that can each yield up to 100 to 110 cavans of high quality palay, as compared to regular ones which can only produce around 80 to 90 cavans.

In line with the Foundation’s thrust of boosting food

security through good crop production practices, TYKFI also gave additional free fertilizers to the local farmers so they can immediately start planting on the onset of dry season and harvest their crop after three to four months.

Meanwhile, Eton presented four TYKFI-STA Scholars and

their families with their new homes, with the help from the Foundation in selecting the recipients and monitoring of the construction of the houses. The old, dilapidated houses where the scholars’ families once settled in were now concrete, permanent housing turned over to them on July 29, 2019.

Foundation for Upgrading Standards of Education (FUSE) Teacher Trainings

Teacher trainings are essential in improving the skills of the Filipino learning providers in different fields. For the year 2019, FUSE conducted the training course entitled, “Upgrading Content in English, Science, and Mathematics” for 133 teachers from around 30 schools in Dipolog, Sindangan, and Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte. They were ably trained by FUSE volunteers composed of licensed teachers, chemist, and nurse on April 22-26, 2019 at St. Vincent’s College, Inc. in Dipolog City.

Each teacher-participant benefited from being trained in

content, teaching strategies, as well as practical teaching skills. Post-tests showed improvements in all subject areas. They

60


were also given complete video tapes in the three tool subjects with accompanying teacher guides that they can use to continue learning about their respective fields. FUSE also identified its “FUSE ambassadors” for the purpose of sustaining the program of teacher upgrading and enhancement.

FUSE also conducted three days of Science Tutorials on

November 9, 16, and 23, 2019 to address content concerns in Science – topics in Chemistry, difficult concepts in General Physics, and Emerging Topics in Biology. 2019 FUSE Teacher Training on Upgrading Content in English, Science, and Mathematics Age
