Sustaining Programs to Boost Food Security, Protection, and Prosperity of Future Generations In 2018, the Foundation continued to strengthen its flagship projects in education, health, social welfare and environmental protection. As Dr. Lucio C. Tan says: “Just as we are co-stewards of our land and our environment, we continue to have the legacy of caring for our people who care for our forests and farms that will feed, sustain, protect, and bring economic prosperity to the entire nation in the future.”

I
AM PLEASED TO REPORT to you that the year 2018 was not only a year of positive stories to tell, but it was also a fruitful year for the Foundation. Year on year, we continue to ponder deeply about the issues relevant to our countrymen, and we try to contribute conscientiously to solving these problems. With invaluable focus on environmental, social, as well as governance issues, I am confident that our world is somewhat greener, more inexhaustible than before and lives are more peaceable, dignified, and productive as well. With this stance, I now present to you the Foundation’s accomplishments for the year 2018. Social challenges continue to touch the efforts of the Foundation under the areas of education, health, and social welfare. This year, we reached the marginalized in their recovery from natural disasters such as Typhoon Ompong. This involved the housing assistance project in Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, the livelihood assistance project for farmers of various barangays in Buguias, Benguet, as well as the adoption as STA scholars of three siblings who were unfortunately left as orphans by this calamity. In addition, I also applaud volunteers from the LT Group of Companies for joining the relief efforts for the victims and their 3

families of the Marawi Siege. Indeed, our fellow workers from the sister companies are grateful for such a privilege to heed the call of duty for our countrymen. In particular focus are our services to the underprivileged farmers in Nueva Vizcaya, Ilocos Sur, and Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. The programs look after the educational, health, and social welfare needs of the poorest farmers and their families. On a rundown, these include the TYKFI-STA scholarship program for their children, the livelihood equipping work and the health and nutrition campaign in Carranglan, and in response to typhoon Ompong - the housing relief for Sta. Cruz, and the farming assistance for Buguias. Just as we are co-stewards of our land and our environment, we continue to have the legacy of caring for our farmers especially in their time of need. We also applaud our workers and farmers for the fruit of their efforts at the LCT Legacy Forest Project in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. Despite such a harsh climate, the generous return on their toil can be seen in the varied species that have been planted and nurtured. All but 143 of the 930 hectares are left for planting. Such a return can also be seen in the increasing flora and fauna witnessed in the biodiversity area. This biodiversity will be further boosted by turning endemic patches into an overflow of thematic parks in the future. The success of our agroforestry scholarship program at the Nueva Vizcaya State University also brings self-sustenance to the knowledge stock and the vision behind this project as it has brought additional manpower when we welcomed under our wings the first graduate of this scholarship program who also passed the licensure exam for foresters. The community has turned from one that used to burn trees for coal harvesting into an ideal community, where community farmers learn safe farming technology and scholars also get to witness an outdoor laboratory and model farm. This convergence of community is linked by ties of livelihood and stewardship, and it is where impact resounds onto the next generation. 5
Just as we are co-stewards of our land and our environment, we continue to have the legacy of caring for our farmers especially in their time of need.

Under education, our scholarship programs continue to open doors and turn dreams into a reality by providing quality education. These expanding programs include the UE-TYKFI Scholarship program, the Nueva Vizcaya State University Scholarship, the Saint Teresita’s Academy Scholarship Program for Farmers’ Children, the Foundation for Liberty and Prosperity Legal Scholarship, and the Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Training. Together, they are helping many to excel in life as well as to find their own value as an individual and a member of society. We have also addressed the common problem of absenteeism in our public schools. Our continual presence in local communities and schools helped inspire not just the teaching staff and the parents, but the many individual students and pupils alike. These efforts include school supplies provision and food distribution, as well as our annual participation in Brigada Eskwela which continues to mobilize volunteerism for a safer and cleaner school environment. Our focus on education and the less privileged led to highlight the importance of early childhood education via partnership with the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Council in training child development workers in different barangays. This year, with our sponsored ECCD training in the municipality of Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya, child development workers received standardized training materials with a special focus on inclusion towards children with diverse needs or disabilities. This program trains workers to help less privileged children narrow the achievement gap in these critical years of opportunity. Thus, this investment sees to it that these children are not to be subjects of social welfare but rather to be the miraculous potential that they deserve to be no matter the individual needs. TYKFI’s promotion of the Chinese language and culture encompassed the Tan Yan Kee Library’s Chinese summer classes on language and the arts, Chinese Ink Painting class, and Bulletin board design class. We also extended our support on to our local 7

ballet talents through the co-sponsorship of Ballet Philippines’ two-night performance in Beijing, China. These exchanges have been a source of inspiration and cultural enrichment to countless Chinese and Filipinos alike. Under health, we visited the inmates of the Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Jail and the indigent residents of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, to deliver a health and wellness mission, and a medical and dental mission respectively. All in all, more than 500 residents of Bayombong benefitted from our standard medical mission outreach project. Every month, we also held the Asia Brewery Medical Forum involving an average of 300 lay audiences. These free open forums deliver health to the populace through preventive and curative information being given on a wide array of topics. At this point in our journey - on behalf of the Board of Trustees, officers, and staff of the Foundation, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the many stakeholders and partners for their support and deep concern for our vision and mission. I have learned that challenges need not be obstacles as they lead us to turn dreams - tomorrow’s dreams, that is, into a conceivable reality. In our own small way as a Foundation, let us continue to work hard to create the kind of world we want ourselves and our young ones to live in. Thank you.

Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project
O
N ITS FOURTH YEAR, the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project has continued to embody the goals of reforestation, agroforestry and livelihood equipping, and forest preservation.
In 2018, the Foundation covered 51.64 hectares of the proj-
ect area by enrichment planting of over 70,000 seedlings of various forest and fruit trees. To date, the project has covered 757 hectares of the 930-hectare area for reforestation and protection
in
Carranglan,
Nueva Ecija.
The project also continued to support the livelihood of the farmers in the area. Farmers in the model farm are learning safe and accountable farming practices as they
planted various types of fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants in an area that initially had little biophysical potential. 12
13
14
Within the 930 hectares is also an area
of 285 hectares wherein the Foundation has sought to preserve the endemic species found in their natural state. The Foundation stationed forest guards for outpost monitoring of the protected areas and the prevention of the harvesting of trees. To prevent forest fires and other unwanted forest activities in the area, the Foundation also established watchtowers and fire lanes for controlled burning. 15
In 2018, a group of 15 graduate students and faculty from the University
of Tokyo Graduate School of Agriculture and Life Sciences visited and observed the operations of the Legacy Forest Project in the forest area in Barangay R.A. Padilla and agroforestry compound in Barangay Digdig, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. The students participated in an open forum with the LCT Legacy Forest foresters and agriculturists, in an exchange of ideas, practices, and solutions in reforestation, biodiversity preservation, and food security and sustainable livelihood programs.
Through a fruitful interaction with some chili and cassava farmers and
observation of the endemic and exotic tree species that are populating the 930- and 56-hectare project areas, they learned about the environment sustainability project efforts done by government and private sectors in the Philippines. More importantly, they appreciated Dr. Tan’s vision of investing for the protection of our environment and of the future generations. 16

HOPE Caravan
P
OOR farmers commonly need to take on much debt after natural disasters in order to begin life again. Instead of encouraging
the poor to take on debt, the Foundation provided vegetable seeds, fertilizers or building materials to jumpstart lives debt free.
In the aftermath of Typhoon Ompong,
the Foundation’s HOPE Caravan reached out to the vegetable farmers of Benguet, one of the hardest hit areas with its high elevation and mountainous terrain and highly susceptible to climate disturbances such as heavy rains, landslides and erosion. In cooperation with the Municipal Agriculture Office, TYKFI distributed vegetable seeds and fertilizers to 374 families in Buguias, Benguet in dire need of livelihood. The assistance benefitted thousands in the six barangays of Buguias through livelihood opportunities. Improved
18

vegetable production readily addressed food shortage and high consumer prices through the ample supply of vegetables in the market.
HOPE Caravan also brought calamity assistance to Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur
where the Foundation’s three adopted schools are situated in order to help the affected families. The recipients were identified through the Municipal Department of Social Welfare as mostly poor farmers or poor laborers, many of whom are 4Ps recipients.
Depending on the extent of damages, the 79 recipients were given help
through housing materials such as GI sheets, plywood, lumber, and construction nails. Communities were also encouraged to help one another and mobilize help in rebuilding their homes via “gamal” or “bayanihan” in Ilocano.

Marawi Relief Assistance
T
YKFI once again mobilized volunteers especially from the LT Group of Companies, to donate and distribute relief goods to more than 400 families of victims and survivors of the Marawi Siege, in a project dubbed,
“Para Sa Marawi�. TYKFI together with volunteer employees from Philippine National Bank (PNB), Philippine Airlines (PAL), and Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (TDI), donated, collected, and packed the relief items.
PAL flew the goods to the Languindingan Airport in Misa-
mis Oriental while volunteers from PNB-Mindanao 5 took care of the logistics. The distribution was held at the Mindanao State University (MSU) gym, where volunteer students took charge of most of the repacking. Employee heads and volunteers from the MSU-PNB branch spearheaded the distribution at the gym. Packages contained the following: malong, headdress, t-shirts, slippers, underwear, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, medicines, neck pillows, sanitary napkins, blankets, towels, can goods, rice, kitchen utensils, and some clothes.

TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program
A
DVANCING the educational rights of the poorest of the poor, the Foundation sought out students coming from indigenous groups and poor farming families in the communities of Aritao, Kayapa, and Sta. Fe in Nueva Vizcaya, and provided them scholarships in a Catholic, private school in Aritao,
Nueva Vizcaya.
The TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program which was established in 2016 to
benefit children from farming communities provides free tuition to deserving students along with free books, uniforms, shoes, and school supplies. School year 2017-2018 saw several TYKFI-STA scholars garnering honor awards during the conferment rights of Saint Teresita’s Academy.
For the school year 2018-2019, there were 53 grade 7 scholars, and 97 con-
tinuing scholars, totaling 150 students, the largest batch yet since the program’s launch.
As these scholars attain a values-laden, 21st century, competent education, the
Foundation seeks to further uplift the lives of these impoverished farming communities through their children’s triumph as educated members of society.

The TYKFI-NVSU Scholarship Program
F
OR the Academic Year 2018-2019, the TYKFI-NVSU Scholarship Program welcomed nine first year scholars and four continuing scholars. Among the first year scholars, four are enrolled in Agricultural Engineering, four under Agriculture, and one under Forestry. Among the continuing scholars, two are enrolled under
Forestry, while two more are enrolled under Agricultural Engineering.
Meanwhile, Clariza Anuma, the first scholar to graduate from Forestry
at NVSU under the scholarship program, passed the licensure examination
36
for Foresters as given by the Professional Regulatory Commission in 2018. She has since joined the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project team as a licensed Forester.
Since its establishment in 2014, the TYKFI-NVSU Scholarship Program
aims not only to fill in the knowledge gap under this field of study, but also to inspire professionals who are willing to be good stewards of our environment. Thus, the Foundation hopes to produce quality scholars who share the vision of the Dr. Lucio C. Tan Legacy Forest Project, and who will also be leaders in our generation’s battle against environmental degradation.
37
TYKFI-FLP Legal Scholarship Program
F
OR the Academic Year 2017-2018, TYKFI awarded 21 law students with the TYKFI-FLP Legal Scholarship Program - 10 of whom were third year law students, while 11 were fourth year law students. Scholars were chosen on the
merits of academic excellence and strong moral standing as seen through their extra-curricular commitments.
By merging the ideals of the Foundation for Liberty and
Prosperity and that of TYKFI, scholars have been entrusted with the duty and obligation to promote and safeguard the ideals of liberty and prosperity under the rule of law, while serving as beacons of light to the marginalized and the vulnerable in society. The Foundation hopes that by fostering such ideals amongst the youth, they will inspire confidence and respect in the profession, while acting as shields of the rule of law and of the democratic ideals of our country.
38
39
School Supplies Distribution Program
T
HIS program saw the distribution of school supplies to 1,051 students from the Foundation’s adopted schools in Nueva Vizcaya and Ilocos Sur. Each student received a school bag, three
notebooks, pad papers (five for kinder to grade 4; two for grade 5-6), two pencils for kinder to grade 2 and two ballpens for grade 3- 6, pair of slippers, cap, t-shirt uniform (five for Kinder; three for Gr. 1-6), and a case of Camay Beauty Bar Bath Soap.
Impoverished children often feel discouraged from
attending school regularly with the absence of educational resources such as the basic school supplies, and there is often the need of pulling these children away from their schooling to help out in the fields. To fill in this financial gap, the program provides yearly school supplies to them so that they may be inspired to come to school regularly.

Foundation for Upgrading Standards of Education (FUSE) Teacher Trainings
2
018 marked the 25th year of FUSE. For 25 years, FUSE has helped upgrade teacher knowledge and skills through an effective, creative, and student-centered approach to teaching 21st Century knowledge and skills. This year’s training of teachers brought FUSE ex-
pertise to 146 participants from private and public schools in Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, 140 participants from private and public schools in Llorente, Eastern Samar, and 204 private and public schools in Sorsogon.
To create communities of committed and well-trained profession-
als throughout our country, FUSE tapped the assistance of teachers who
50
51
underwent FT3 (Training the Teachers) and mentored them to give the training themselves in their own communities. This year this group included two trainers from Leyte for the Elementary Science group in the Samar training, five local trainers from Leyte, and nine local trainers for the Sorsogon Training.
The Foundation also held workshops and made
initiatives to upgrade its training program, to revise its Teacher Support Materials (TSM), and to digitalize the format of its CONSTEC DVDs. To help serve the teachers better in its various trainings, FUSE also applied for and was accredited as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) provider in 2018.This year’s support of the Math Olympiad also led participants to bring home one gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. 52

Tan Yan Kee Library
A
T the Tan Yan Kee Library’s Summer Class, a total of 60 children ages three to 12 spent their summer learning the Chinese language,
culture, and arts. Reading, storytelling, poetry narration, song interpretation and program presentations helped children develop an appreciation of the language and culture. Arts and crafts also formed part of the set of engaging activities.
Meanwhile, a bulletin board design class was
also held for 20 students ages 8 to 70 years old. The participants consisting of students and teachers from various schools in Manila shared their passion for arts and crafts as they created images of animals like owls, elephants, lions, bears, birds, penguins, spiders; and trees and fruits such as strawberries, oranges, pineapples, watermelons, and cherries.
54
55
The Chinese ink painting class was also con-
ducted for 15 students ages 13 to 84 years old. Participants learned to paint various subjects like mountains, bodies of water, pine trees, cranes, eagles, chicken, sparrows, birds, peacocks, and ancient Chinese women on various media.

TAN YAN KEE MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Training
T
HE Foundation believes that sustainability lies not only in the natural environment but also in the valuable citizens we raise up for the generations to come. We invest to empower young children (ages 0-4 years of age), to learn to construct knowledge, to develop values, to appreciate learning from the world around them, and
to embrace lifelong learning. By such an investment, the Foundation also believes in the fundamental right of children, particularly the less fortunate, to have the opportunity to develop to their full potential.
In 2018, the Foundation brought a special early education training ex-
pertise to the community of Child Development Workers in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya. The training focused on the proper utilization of the National Early Learning Curriculum’s (NELC) Learning Resource Package (LRP). Each day care center was furnished with a complete set of the LRP. The program’s goal is to leverage the dedication of Child Development Workers by professionalizing their efforts through this training. The LRPs provide a compre58
59
hensive guide that seeks to standardize competencies, objectives, and strategies in early childhood education while emphasizing the paradigm of a child-centric approach. The ECCD’s training also covered an inclusive approach and strategies to early learning for diverse learners or children with learning disabilities.
In 2018, the Foundation hosted a visit by a nine-mem-
ber delegation from Bhutan’s Ministry of Education together with a representative from the Asia Pacific Regional Network on Early Childhood (ARNEC) from Singapore in Barangay Digdig in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija.
A dialogue with the Bhutan delegation ensued on the
Foundation’s program models, best practices, and environmental and social impact. In turn, the Foundation learned of the ministry of education’s work in Bhutan and the country’s culture. Further exchanges on early childhood education experiences took place with the local government of Aritao and with a National Child Development Center (NCDC)’s child development worker, who was previously trained by TYKFI in Barangay Beti, Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya.

Monthly Medical Forum
T
HE Asia Brewery Medical Forum covers a wide array of relevant health topics taught by specialists of the Association of Asia Brewery Medical Specialty Scholars. Each session was attended by an average of 300 participants at the ballroom of the Century Park Hotel.
A healthy populace is a prerequisite to attaining our national goals and
ideals. These free forums provide disease information, preventive methods, and a practical resource for the everyday layman. It serves to inform on upto-date and well-researched knowledge about common diseases and best healthcare practices given by highly trained specialists. Thus, the Foundation believes that a well-informed public is one way it can contribute to the healthcare of our country.

Medical Missions
T
HE Foundation’s health advocacy continues to be felt strongly in the workplace and in the local communities it serves. Through medical missions in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija and Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, almost 1000 beneficiaries benefited
from this project.
More than 30 doctors and health workers from St. Luke’s Med-
ical Center and Sagip Bayan Foundation provided free consultation to the farmers and workers of the LCT Legacy Forest Project and their families, while the TYKFI provided a healthy food package, free medicines and vitamins to over 150 beneficiaries. Volunteer nutritionist-dietitians from the Nutrition Foundation of the Philippines provided nutrition counseling based on the medical diagnoses and infographics on various illnesses. Nutritional guides and cookbooks for the family, for the pregnant women, and for the first 1000 days of newborns were also provided by the National Nutrition Council.
Many farmers and workers who were di-
agnosed with eye problems were also given free corrective eyeglasses. In Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, the 70

Foundation conducted a second Medical Mission with a new set of partner groups. Volunteer doctors, nurses, and dentists who came from the Kabalikat Civicom Association - Nueva Vizcaya Chapter, the Ashvins Alternative Medicine and Wellness Center, and the Provincial Health Office gave free consultation services while the Provincial Health Office and the Foundation provided free prescription medicines and vitamins to more than 500 beneficiaries
As part of its health and wellness mission, the Foundation also
distributed vitamins and bath soap to inmates of Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Jail. After sponsoring a Holy Mass for the inmates, the TYKFI staff also distributed merienda and Christmas gift packs to the inmates during a short fellowship program with them. In the tradition of showing care and compassion, the Foundation aimed not only to promote their physical and psychosocial well being but also to inspire a sense of hope to the inmates.
