Galing Pook Foundation Recognizes Outstanding Local Government Programs for 2022


Ten outstanding local governance programs were recognized in the 2022 Galing Pook Awards held at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacanang Palace last Tuesday, November 22, 2022.

 

President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. recognizes the 10 winners of the Galing Pook Foundation 2022 at the Ceremonial Hall of Malacanang Palace. He commended the Galing Pook Foundation for recognizing and incentivizing top performing LGUs. With them in the photo are: Galing Pook Foundation chairman Mel Sarmiento, Local Government secretary Benjamin Abalos, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.



Galing Pook Foundation with its co-presenters SM Prime Holdings Inc., and the DILG-Local Government Academy, and sponsors Cebu Pacific and Airspeed named local government units from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao that promote innovation and excellence.

 

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. commended the Galing Pook Foundation for recognizing and incentivizing top performing LGUs. He stressed how strong collaboration between the public and private sector can lead to more meaningful and successful programs that truly benefit the Filipino people.

 

“The recognition that you give to cities and municipalities inspires them to accelerate their drive towards improvement and it encourages LGUs to adopt practices that make us paragons of excellence in public service. It is necessary for us to underscore the importance of strengthening partnerships between the government and private organizations, such as the Galing Pook Foundation, especially as we bring about meaningful progress in the country.”

 

Galing Pook Chairperson Mel Sarmiento expressed his gratitude to all the local executives and LGU teams that participated this year: “It’s truly inspiring to see the impact of the work that you do, and I’m sure you’ve brought value to many Filipinos all over the country. Our collaborations bring us closer to realizing our shared vision, na ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino, may simple pero kumportableng buhay.”

 

  The winners of the 2022 Galing Pook Awards were: The Green Wall of Alcala (Alcala, Cagayan);

Advancing and Sustaining Good Governance and Community Actions towards Resiliency and Empowerment (Basilan Province); Bataan Public-Private Partnership Programs (Bataan Province);

Balik-Biñan Project: Tourism Development through Heritage Conservation (Biñan City, Laguna); From Black to Green: Fishponds, Eco-Tourism and Full Employment (Brgy. Cayabu, Tanay, Rizal);

Trekking to Unlock Community Ailments and Difficulties (TUCAD) (Goa, Camarines Sur); “I-BIKE” A Program Promoting the Development of the Iloilo City Bike Culture (Iloilo City); Yaru: A Whole-of-Community Approach Towards Disaster Management (Itbayat, Batanes); Libertad Fish Forever Savings Club (Libertad, Antique); and

Basta Piddigueño, AgriHenyo: Consolidated Farm Production System (Piddig, Ilocos Norte).

 

The 10 winners were chosen from 18 finalists and a record field of 196 applications from different LGUs in the country.

 

Launched on October 21, 1993, the Galing Pook Awards has recognized 329 LGU programs from 200 LGUs in the country that have been promoted for replication to benefit more communities.


SM provides learners with environment conducive to learning

 

More than just an area where students gather to hold classes, a school environment plays a vital role in learners’ cognitive development. Research has shown that with an environment conducive to learning, students increase their attention and focus, and they are more motivated to practice higher-level critical thinking skills.

Adamant to provide students with venues where they can fully hone their skills and knowledge, SM Foundation (SMFI)—the corporate social responsibility arm of the SM group—cemented its partnership with the Department of Education (DepED) in 2002 through DepEd’s Adopt-A-School Program.

Through this, SMFI builds SM school buildings in grassroot communities, complete with basic furniture and equipment. More so, SMFI integrates specialized features to each SM school building to address the unique needs of their school recipients—some received rooms dedicated as a guidance office, a clinic, a mini-library, and some even got a water tank and a handwashing facility.

To date, SMFI has turned over more than 100 SM school buildings nationwide with the help of its partners, which share the same aspirations for the Filipino learners and teachers. One of which is the SM Prime Holdings (SMPH) - one of the largest integrated property developers in Southeast Asia. Since the project’s inception, over 90 SM school buildings out of the more than 100 were built through the social good collaboration with SM Prime.

SMFI and SMPH ensure that the SM school buildings incorporate a disaster resilient design to guarantee the safety of the students, teachers, and other school personnel. Emergency lights at both staircases, and fire and earthquake alarm bells are also installed.

Principal Joji Buelvo, school principal of Basud Elementary School (BES) in Sorsogon City, shared the state of their school community before they accepted the fully furnished SM school building from SMFI and SM Prime in 2021: “Ang aming paaralan ay saksi sa maraming kalamidad. Kaya karamihan ng mga classrooms ay may kalumaan na, ang mga kisame ay malapit na bumagsak—talagang hindi na conducive for learning.”

“But through your [SMFI and SM Prime] donation, our BES learners now have a haven where we can nurture their young minds to be academically-ready and well-rounded members of the community,” Buelvo further expressed.

 

 

Addressing classroom shortage

The continuous rapid growth of the country’s population is taking a toll on schools—leaving the students, even the teachers, with overcrowded classrooms which affect learners’ academic performance.

In 2012, the Banisil National High School (BNHS) in General Santos City received its first SM school building. But being the only secondary school in Barangay Tambler, BNHS records a significant increase in their enrollment per year. With this challenge, SM Foundation decided to provide another edifice of hope for the sub-urban Muslim community in 2021, addressing the growing needs of BNHS learners and teachers.

BNHS then principal Shiela Balbon said, “Yung patuloy na paglobo ng population every year ay talagang naging suliranin namin.

Pagpasok ng 2020, nagkaroon ng COVID. So naisip ko baka hindi na matuloy. Pero itong SM Foundation, walang pande-pandemya sa kanila. Talagang desidido silang matugunan yung pangangailangan sa classroom ng mga estudyante,” she added.

“Our salute to our longtime partner, SM Foundation and SM Prime, for being so generous and proactive in providing us with school buildings that are conducive to learning. We are so grateful for your extended support to our school amidst the pandemic,” Balbon concluded.

SM Foundation, through its School Building Program, is an active partner of DepEd’s Adopt-a-School project. This social good initiative aims to promote quality public education by building classrooms nationwide.

5 ways to spread Christmas cheer besides gifts

 

Keep the spirit of giving alive by reaching out to different organizations this holiday season

 

The holiday season is an exciting yet busy time. Between the shopping, party planning, and the budgeting for both, this hectic time is a rush that would get anyone feeling the Christmas cheer with family and friends.

Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to get into the holiday spirit. 

This season, a little bit of empathy goes a long way, and here are simple but impactful things you can add to your to-do list this holiday season:




·       Contribute to a stage for children to show their talents

The Filipino Christmas is filled with carols and jingles as early as the first ‘ber month of the year. To join in on all the merrymaking, the girls from the CRIBS Foundation’s New Beginnings program, aimed at rehabilitating minors who are victims of sexual abuse, are set to have a yearend recital. Aside from contributing to their talent showcase, you can also sponsor the foundation’s Christmas tradition of allowing the kids to choose and buy their own gifts using an allocated budget.

CRIBS is the first non-government organization in the Philippines to implement a Foster Care Program and has since committed to the care and development, healing and recovery of children in need of special protection. Contact the Cribs Foundation through their website to donate or send your donations straight to their BPI Account: Cribs Foundation, Inc. 3081-0806-06.




·       Do some grocery shopping for someone else

While shopping for your holiday parties, why not also help stock up someone else’s kitchen not just for Christmas but for the coming months? The nuns at Saint Rita Orphanage are always open to getting donations to help supply food for the upcoming Christmas party and their daily needs. Donations will also support their Christmas outing and the baptism of new babies under their care.

The religious order of nuns at Saint Rita Orphanage has had their doors open to caring and developing orphans since they admitted the first child in 1964. Assist Saint Rita Orphanage in providing the best care by reaching out to them through their Facebook page.




·       Get a kid’s dream gift

Choosing the right gifts for your loved ones brings a different kind of happiness. You can bring that same joy to the kids who live in the Virlanie Foundation’s residential homes by getting their wish list and donating their dream gift to the foundation. You can also light up a family’s Christmas by helping fund or donate Noche Buena packages to families in the communities they work with.

The Virlaine Foundation has helped over 22,000 street children in the 31 years that they have been operating. They have attended to children in the foundation’s residential homes and to families and street children through their mobile unit. Ask for a kid’s wish list or other ways you can help the Virlaine Foundation by emailing jerryl.cuneta@virlanie.org or checking our their website at www.virlanie.org. You can also  make a direct donation to their BDO Account: Virlanie Foundation, Inc. 004580002426.




·       Share your talents with others

While the gift of time is free, it is one of the most important gifts you can give to someone. One of Kids with Purpose International (KWPI) Inc’s objectives is to be able to empower children and youth to discover their purpose and become independent. Volunteering at KWPI gives you the opportunity to tutor the kids in their academics or put on workshops about arts, music or even sports. While you may not leave them with a toy to play with, you can give them an experience that they can remember for the rest of their lives.

KWPI has helped children find new homes since 2018. Their residential care gives young kids a place to stay before finding a new home and their Leadership Development Program makes sure every child is supported throughout their development even without finding alternative parental care. Find out how you can start volunteering with KWPI by emailing official@kwpi.org or donate through their website.




·       Help organize a Christmas celebration for people of all ages

Christmas isn’t only for the young ones or the young at heart. Hospicio de San Jose makes sure no one misses out on the fun by planning a Christmas celebration for the people under its seven programs. You can donate in cash or in-kind to provide gifts, games, and great food not only for kids, but also for the elderly, persons with special needs, and persons in crisis including victim-survivors of abuse and trafficking.

Hospicio de San Jose established in1810 is the first social welfare agency in the Phillippines and has since committed to providing both residential and non-residential services to the vulnerable sectors of society. You may course your donations through their BPI Account: Hospicio de San Jose, Inc. 8103-0986-62. Learn about how you sponsor their residents on their websiteor email them at hospiciodesanjose@yahoo.com

Doing their part for the nation, Solane, one of the leading LPG brands in the country, reaches out to several organizations by providing free LPG. This ensures that the kids get nutritious meals and also freeing up budget for the organizations to allocate more towards their different programs and services. While the rest of the country is beginning to emerge from the challenges of the pandemic, several communities and Filipinos are still in need of help.

Helping in any way is more than enough to help bring the spirit of Christmas to as many people as possible. As you cook up a storm for the holidays with your trusted LPG partner, watch how these simple acts can lighten up the season for you and for Filipinos that receive a bit of your holiday cheer.

UST’s Henry Sy Sr. Hall to boost health education

 Pursuing its objective of driving Philippine social development by fostering the youth and the culture of excellence through education, the Henry Sy Foundation, Inc. (HSFI) recently inked a partnership with the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) Research and Endowment Foundation to construct a building that elevates health education in the country.

 

Designed by C.A. Ventura & Partners, the upcoming Henry Sy., Sr. Hall in UST is envisioned to propel the health education of future physicians in the country.


Named in honor of the late SM Founder, the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall of UST will rise on the main campus in Manila to respond to the needs of digital medical education.

 

The Hall will feature technologically advanced facilities and equipment that complement UST’s teaching, learning, and research practices. Focused on interdisciplinary collaboration in medical studies, it will also house the simulation and research facility of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery (UST-FMS). 

 

Paragons with passion

 

Fr. Richard Gaw Ang, OP, Rector of UST, thanked the Sy family as they work together to provide the best education to future physicians and increase UST’s research productivity to fill the gaps where communities are disadvantaged.

 

“Your family consists of industry leaders who have visions for the Filipino community. Your choice to support this endeavor of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery is a significant stamp of approval to the work and tradition of this medical institution,” Fr. Ang said in a letter to the Sy family.

 

“Your family’s Patriarch, Henry Sy, Sr., had principles in life that we, as an institution, give our best to also follow. We aim to lead as paragons with passion, integrity, far-reaching and optimistic vision, sensible priorities, and discipline. At the core of this is a deep sense of charity for God, the church, and the nation,” Fr. Ang added.

 

Leaders of Henry Sy Foundation Inc. (HSFI), led by the Sy family (L-R: Harley Sy, Hans Sy, Elizabeth Sy, Debbie Sy, Tessie Sy, Henry Sy Jr, Engr. Ramon Gil Macapagal (extreme right)) , formalize its partnership with the University of Sto. Tomas (L-R: UST Rector Fr. Richard Gaw Ang, OP, Dr. Ma. Lourdes Domingo, Fr. Angel Aparicio, OP, Fr. Maximo Gatela, OP)


UST’s future Henry Sy, Sr. Hall

 

Rising as an intellectual hub for future physicians, the building has a dedicated floor for the Faculties of Medicine and Surgery Research Center and the Medicine and Surgery Graduate Programs and Ethics Review Board. Here, medical education research and various medical-related specialty research will be reviewed and conducted. 

 

The building will include specialized centers, rooms, and laboratories, such as Medical Simulation Centers and Care Ultrasound Institute, and Otorhinolaryngology Laboratory. These will be equipped with cutting-edge tools and technology to develop medical students’ competencies in multiple simulated healthcare settings crossing the human lifespan.

 

The HSFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization inspired by SM founder Henry Sy, Sr.’s desire to aid educational institutions to drive Philippine social development. Its projects are undertaken in partnership with the SM group and its foundations to honor the SM founder by supporting educational institutions in promoting academic excellence as a key to a brighter future for the youth. Through the years, the foundation established and supported several academic infrastructures, such as the Henry Sy Sr. Primary School Building in Xavier School, Nuvali Laguna; Henry Sy Sr. Innovation Center in Miriam College, Quezon City; NU Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna; NU Nazareth School in Manila; and a Henry Sy Sr. Hall each at Immaculate Conception Academy, San Juan City, and Assumption College.
