Journey Towards Excellence in CSR
A roadmap gives one a sense of direction. For travelers, it aids them in exploring their way towards their
destinations. Like a compass, a roadmap sets the tempo of your course and it leads you to the right path.
Like a lodestar, a roadmap helps one to focus and avoid unnecessary and miscalculated steps.
In its thirty three years of CSR journey, the Metrobank Foundation has always been guided by a
roadmap: that is to bring out the best in the Filipino people – teachers, students, artists, policemen and
women, soldiers, and to our communities through its social development partners. We take pride that
we are one of the Filipino corporate foundations that celebrates excellence and honor the outstanding
contributions of ordinary individuals who choose to be exemplars in their respective fields. We inspire
and empower them to give back to their respective spheres of influences. We continuously engage likeminded institutions and harness relationships with the government
Community building. Healthy Citizenry. Uplifting lives. Compassion. Dedication. Responsibility. These are
our buzzwords that serve as our roadmap towards excellence in CSR.

Turning Words into Action
T
he Metrobank Foundation was
built on one of the values dear to
Metrobank’s business philosophy:
social responsibility. Specifically, we
believe that leadership in business
entails leadership in community service as well.
After, nearly half a decade of its existence and
sustained leadership in the banking industry,
Metrobank remains steadfast in its commitment
to corporate citizenship as exemplified by the
enduring involvement of the Foundation in
corporate social responsibility.
Over the last three decades, the Foundation has
redefined the concept and practice of corporate
social responsibility, transforming grants and
awards into sustainable investments in human
development and nation building. Beyond serving
as an expression of gratitude and a reward for
their excellence, our recognition programs for
outstanding Filipinos have become a testament to
the abilities and potential of our institutions and
people to bring about change. From the simple
sharing of resources, our grant-making initiatives
have evolved into dynamic partnerships for the
shared pursuit of progress and development.
In 2011, we are proud to have continued to build
on and reinforce the Foundation’s legacy. We
honored another corps of exemplary individuals
who share and epitomize our core values of
excellence and service to the wider community.
We strengthened long-standing partnerships
and forged new ones in pursuit of our goal of
making sustainable contributions to enhance
the quality of life of our people, particularly the
disadvantaged, through collaborative projects in
education, health, and the arts. At the same time,
our collective efforts and hard work have been
affirmed by the commendations we received

in the past year from our peers in the business
community, as well as institutional partners in the
government and private sectors.
Even as we celebrate these achievements, we
know very well that our work is never done.
The Foundation is constantly challenged to be
more strategic and results-oriented in our work,
making sure our programs and advocacies are
more relevant and responsive to our stakeholders
and publics. To succeed, we must continue to
exercise focus, accountability, and transparency,
while remembering who will ultimately gain from
our CSR commitments: the Filipino people whom
we seek to inspire, and whose lives, we aspire to
change for the better.
As the Metrobank Foundation embarks
on another year, we share with you our
accomplishments from 2011 and hope you
continue to join us in our CSR journey.

individuals who embody the best in our people and who
represent our best values: commitment to excellence and
passion for service; hard work and dedication; courage
and honor; creativity and innovativeness. Their exemplary
achievements in their own fields are inspiring beyond
words. Their remarkable stories of hope and inspiration

Classroom Heroes
“Where I am from, everyone is a hero.” When
Efren Peñaflorida was named CNN Hero in
2009 for bringing learning to underprivileged
children through his Dynamic Teen Company’s
mobile classroom project, “Kariton Klasrum,” the
veracity of these words resonated among millions
of Filipinos. Indeed, throughout the country’s
history, our innate sense of heroism has turned
many an ordinary man, woman, and youth into
much-admired icons in their fields.
For the last 27 years, the Metrobank Foundation’s
Search for Outstanding Teachers (SOT) has
been honoring everyday heroes in education,
who mold the minds and hearts of our young
people, imparting their knowledge to and
inspiring budding leaders of the nation. In
2011, the Foundation awarded 10 outstanding
teachers who represent the finest examples of
competence, commitment, and dedication to
their noble profession. Deemed by the awardees
as the pinnacle of their professional lives, the
award also serves as a challenge to carry on their
commitment to mentor the foundations of a
brighter and better future for the country.
306 outstanding
teachers have been
honored since 1984

M etrobank Foundation, I nc.
It is a challenge 63-year old awardee
Teodora D. Conde, Ph.D. has embraced and
lived out in a career that spans four long, but
gratifying decades. A consummate Science
educator, Dr. Conde of Andres Bonifacio
Elementary School in Sta. Cruz, Manila has made
learning about the world and its phenomena
easy and enjoyable for students by developing
innovative and interactive instructional materials
and devices. A true nurturer, she introduced –
among other inventive strategies in teaching the
subject – the Child-Friendly Approach, which not
only helps students learn academic content but
also addressed their inner and hidden feelings.
Dr. Jericho Thaddeus P. Luna enjoys best of
both noble professions in his dual role as a
medical doctor and an associate professor at
the University of the Philippines College of
Medicine-Philippine General Hospital. Honed by
years of practice with medical institutions and
societies, Dr. Luna’s contributions in the field of
obstetrics and gynecology study have literally
saved countless lives. His research on minimally
invasive surgery for gynecologic malignancies or
cancer has given options to patients to undergo
less radical procedures that retain fertility. Dr.
Luna shares these innovations and expertise with
his students, colleagues in the field, as well as the
government by training municipal health workers
on prenatal care, obstetric emergencies, and
gynecologic cancer prevention and screening.
The 2011 SOT winners, together with the
awardees of the Foundation’s excellence award
programs for The Outstanding Philippine Soldiers
(TOPS) and the Country’s Outstanding Policemen
in Service (COPS), were awarded with gold
medallions by His Excellency President Benigno S.
Aquino III in ceremonies held at the Malacañan
Palace. Collectively hailed as Metrobank
Foundation Outstanding Filipinos, they were
recognized as exemplars in public service by
President Aquino, who expressed the gratitude
and appreciation of the entire nation for their
contributions to nation building. Conveying a
response on behalf of the awardees, outstanding
teacher Marcela E. Jingco of Angeles Elementary
School in Angeles City, Pampanga pledged the
awardees’ support to the government’s campaign
to revive the values of honor and duty in public
service: “Your Excellency, you are assured of our
continuing commitment to serve as instruments
in carrying out the government’s advocacy of
‘Tuwid na Daan.’”
Future Leaders
The Foundation has always held a strong faith in
the Filipino youth and their potential. They are
at the heart of the Foundation’s interventions
in education, which is the most significant
investment it can make on their future. Through
the Foundation’s College Scholarship Program
(CSP), it helps poor but deserving students
fulfill their dreams of obtaining high quality
education in the finest schools in the country. In
the past year, 28 scholars graduated from the
various scholarship programs implemented by
the Foundation together with partner schools
nationwide. Leading the graduates is Elvin Cruz,
a magna cum laude Civil Engineering graduate
from the University of the Philippines-Diliman.
He and his fellow scholars gathered during the
annual Graduates’ Forum where they shared their
respective stories of overcoming adversities, and
were inspired by a special lecture on Philippine
national hero, Jose P. Rizal.
“Most of you might relate to my story, but
one thing for sure is common to all of us:
Metrobank Foundation served as our stepping
stone to our success as graduates today. They
believed in our potential more than we did,”
stated Elvin, recalling how the CSP has taken
an average “promdi” places and allowed him
to dream big dreams. Content with his initial
plans to attend the best college in his province,
graduate, and get a high-paying job in his
hometown, Elvin took a different path when he
passed the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT).
Despite the financial challenges, he pursued the
opportunity to be an Iskolar ng Bayan. On his
third year at the university, Elvin applied for the
Foundation’s scholarship program, and luckily,
got in, becoming one of the close to 900 scholars
assisted by the Foundation since CSP was
established in 1995.
Close to
900 college scholars

Annual Report 2011

Echoing the Foundation’s only appeal to the
scholars in return for the gift of education they
received and attesting to Rizal’s conviction that
“the youth is the hope of the motherland,” Elvin
exhorted his peers: “Metrobank Foundation has
shown us that it is not enough that we achieve
academic excellence but also develop leadership
so that we may contribute more effectively to
society. It is then our responsibility to continue
improving ourselves to be one of the best, if
not, the best in our respective chosen careers,
and serve this nation with outmost patriotism
and integrity.”
Young Math geniuses likewise, remain a source
of confidence and optimism for the Foundation,
which bears witness to their indomitable spirit
and strong sense of discipline as they battle
it out in the annual Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd
Math Challenge (MMC). On its 10th year, MMC
gathered more than half a million students,
upholding its stature as the most prestigious
and widely participated competition among
elementary and high school students in the
country. Continuous overwhelming response
from both participants and institutional partners
strengthens the Foundation’s resolve to advance
Math education in the country and to inspire
and reward the achievements of young Math
enthusiasts like Carmela Antoinette Lao of St.
Jude Catholic School in San Miguel, Manila.
Since 1998, the Metrobank Math Challenge has

“If we eliminate as many of our distractions
as possible and just concentrate on achieving
growth, we will achieve boundless growth
and our limit is only infinity,” Carmela opined.
Considered an MMC veteran, the 2011 4th
Year Individual Champion first had joined the
competition at the age of seven and had been
a first placer for the Grade 6 Individual and
Team Categories in 2007. Carmela credited
her experiences in MMC for her subsequent
successes in international contests such as
the 50th and 51st International Mathematical
Olympiad (IMO) where she took home silver and
bronze medals, respectively. She and the sixteen
(16) 2011 MMC national winners, received more
than P600, 000 in total cash prizes, trophies,
and medals. Fifty percent (50%) of the winning
students’ prize money was converted into
Metrobank Fun Savers Club savings accounts to
instill in them the value of saving at an early age.
Creative Geniuses
A fundamental component of the Foundation’s
aspiration to build the nation is to nurture its
soul: the inimitable creativity of the Filipinos
as embodied by our rich and vibrant artistic
traditions. For nearly three decades, the
Foundation, through its pioneering Metrobank
Art & Design Excellence (MADE) competitions,
has been at the forefront of promoting artistic
excellence. In 2011, MADE presented a new
crop of promising visual artists, architects, and
designers, who demonstrated sophistication in

styles and techniques, but also audacity in the
choice of themes with majority of the winning
works serving as commentaries on the changing
social, political, and cultural landscape of the
country.
Jericho Valjusto G.
Vamenta, grand prize
winner in the oil on canvas
category of the painting
competition, reflected on
the changing roles of men
and women in the society,
particularly in the domestic
setting. His work, entitled
“Ang Maleta sa Mundo ni
Tatang Danilo,” depicts a
woman in working clothes
that denote her dominance as the breadwinner,
and her “houseband,” hovering around her in
a skirt. The adept use of symbolisms combined
with the rendering of images in reverse coloring,
reinforced this reversal of roles and apparent
shift in power between the sexes.
Staying true to the competition’s advocacy,
“Your Environment Shapes You,” that focuses
on sustainable design and use of indigenous
materials for artistic expression, grand prize
winner Interior Designer Angelo Venci S. Del
Mundo presented a Filipino home with an
urban-Asian lifestyle. His design mixes touches
of Chinese in furniture and “green” accessories
(bamboo shades, sea grass rugs) used in the living
spaces. His color selection of green subliminally
echoes current design trends and creates a
tranquil ambience. “I like spaces that tell a story
and (love) taking inspiration from the simplest of
things,” he explained.
Meanwhile, sculpture competition grand prize
winner, Architect Jonathan V. Dangue takes a
philosophical look at the nature of materiality
and human happiness using the metaphor
of the human hand in his opus “Walang
Pinanghahawakang Anuman sa Palad.” Carefully
crafted from bamboo sticks, the modernist
sculpture is a reminder that one is born
“without anything in our hands, and even in
our death we cannot bring our possessions.”
Knowing this, Dangue believes that one should
focus instead on being content and having a
positive disposition in life, dealing with whatever
it throws one’s way and moving on despite all
the struggles and failures.
Over the years, MADE has recognized
and launched the careers of over
371 young artists
and designers
in the country
Annual Report 2011

The selection of winning works proved to be
tough for the judges comprised of eminent
personalities and experts in the fields of arts
and design, as entries across all categories
of the competition were at records high last
year. Following a more aggressive information
campaign through the use of social media and
engagement of its partner institutions, the
architecture competition for instance, posted
a 133% increase with half of submissions
coming from the Visayas and from Mindanao.
Coincidentally, the grand prize went to Arch.
Oscar J. Peñasales of Iloilo for his re-imagination
of the traditional nipa hut. The 2011 MADE
winners were feted in a lavish ceremony attended
by top executives from the Metrobank Group,
famous personalities in business, art community,
diplomatic corps, politics, and media. A grand
exhibit featuring the winning and semi-finalists’
works was also unveiled during the event held at
the Le Pavillon.
Protectors of the People
Theirs is a path most of us are not brave enough
to take. But for the gallant men and women in
uniform who took the road less travelled, the
journey proved to be a truly rewarding one. Such
is a sentiment shared by the 2011 awardees of
the Foundation’s Excellence Awards Program to
recognize and reward exemplary performances
and achievements among members of the Philippine
National Police through the Country’s Outstanding
Policemen in Service (COPS), and of
The Armed Forces of the Philippines through the
search for The Outstanding Philippine Soldiers (TOPS).
Dedicating it to the 130,000-strong police force,
Police Superintendent Steve B. Ludan regards the
award as an affirmation of the PNP still being an
honorable institution sustained by the commitment
of yet many among its members, who continue
to uphold the values of service, honor, and justice
in carrying out their duties. The current Chief of
the Budget and Fiscal Office of the PNP Aviation
Security Group, PSpt. Ludan is an accomplished crime
fighter, who was responsible for the neutralization
of a number of kidnap-for-ransom groups and the
dismantling of shabu laboratories in Cavite and
Laguna.
While the life of duty may be more challenging for
them, female members of the National Police like
Police Chief Inspector Delia Jacob Ingalla proved that
it could not hinder them from excelling at their job.
PCInsp. Ingalla is among the three women COPS
awardees dedicated in championing and protecting
the rights of women and children. Their compassion
and empathy in handling highly sensitive cases help
keep families safe, protect communities, strengthen
public confidence in the police force, and reinforce
the PNP’s moral renewal program. During her two

88 policemen

years as the chief of the Women and Children
Protection Desk /Family, Juvenile, Gender and
Development (FJGAD) Section of the Taguig
City Police Station, PCInsp. Ingalla has rescued
numerous victims of sexual, domestic and other
forms of abuses, sending their perpetrators to jail.
Like her female colleagues in the National Police,
2011 TOPS awardee Master Sergeant Ma.
Teresita M. Bitong has had her share of difficulties
trying to fulfill her sworn duty as a member of
the Philippine Air Force and her obligations as
a wife and a mother. But through her fortitude
and perseverance, MSgt. Bitong was able to
lead a full and balanced life while in the Air
Force, raising the bar of outstanding service to
the military with her accomplishments. During
her first few years in the service, MSgt. Bitong
worked for the Presidential Security Group
(PSG) and together with her peers, provided an
unflinching guard to the late President Corazon
Aquino during some of the most fraught years in
her presidency, including the 1989 military coup.
Indeed, TOP winners like Colonel Daniel A.
Lucero are set apart by their professionalism
and excellence in military services. Appointed
as spokesperson of Southern Command in
Zamboanga City from 2002 to 2003, and as
chief of the Public Information Office of the AFP
and the concurrent spokesperson from 2003
to 2004, Col. Lucero served as the voice of the
organization. Although the position proved to
be taxing for the military man, who is supposed
to be stoic and content to let his actions speak
for him, Col. Lucero demonstrated incomparable
competence. His skillful handling allowed him to
effectively respond to all the negative feedback
thrown against the AFP, including the Oakwood
Mutiny, the scandal about the ill-gotten wealth
of some military generals, the Garci scandal, and
other rumors of coups and destabilization.
After being awarded by the Foundation,
2011 TOPS and COPS winners received
similar recognitions and commendations from
government executives, national and LGU leaders,
and other socio-civic organizations, validating
further the programs’ role as an expression of the
civilian sector’s appreciation and gratitude for the
protectors of the country and our people. Past
awardees also continued to be recognized for
their sustained exemplary public service, such as
2008 outstanding soldiers Col. Joselito Kakilala,
MSgt. Jesus Fabian, and Commodore Jose Renan
Suarez who accepted top honors from the Civil
Service Commission (CSC) Search for Outstanding
Officials and Employees. MSgt. Fabian received
the Presidential Lingkod Bayan award for his
invaluable contribution to counter-terrorism
and the security of Filipinos while Col. Kakilala
received the same award for his tactical approach
to counter-insurgency, gallantry in combat, and
social concern for communities under his watch.
Meanwhile, Commo. Suarez earned the Pag-Asa
Award for his meritorious and invaluable service in
the methodical implementation of the Philippine
Navy Modernization Program.

True to his philanthropic commitment to give

chairman Dr. George S.K Ty donated Php 10 million
worth of food packages to 10,000 families in
identified 17 areas nationwide. Dubbed as
“Bags of Blessing”, this gesture of goodwill helped
underprivileged families and calamity victims in
coordination with government agencies and local
government units. Indeed, this event marked
another milestone for the Metrobank Group,
as it brought together its subsidiaries, affiliates,
and employee volunteers, in order to make this
nationwide endeavor a success.
Giving back is at the core of the Metrobank
Foundation’s goal to build the nation. It is the
passion the Foundation shares with like-minded institutions
in working towards strengthening key sectors of Philippine
society. It is the message the Foundation instills among
beneficiaries and awardees, encouraging them to pay it
forward and serve as agents of positive influence among
their peers. It is the philosophy that has made the
Foundation a CSR champion not only within the Metrobank
Group, but also in the larger community, which continues to
recognize our humble contributions to improving the lives
of the Filipino people.

Planting the Seeds of Tomorrow
As a staunch advocate of sustainable growth
and development, the Foundation sustained its
support to initiatives and programs to promote
environment protection and conservation last
year. To commemorate its 32nd anniversary, the
Foundation conducted a tree-planting activity
together with the Toyota Motor Philippines
Foundation (TMPF). Foundation staff and
officers rolled up their sleeves for Mother
Earth and sowed some 600 of rare species of
Kalumpit, Tabon-tabon, Balukang, and Balobo
tree seedlings at the Toyota Forest in Sta. Rosa
City, Laguna. Measuring 11.4 hectares, the
forest is located within the sprawling Toyota
Special Economic Zone in the province, and is a
brainchild of Group Chairman Dr. George S.K. Ty,
who envisioned a model of a car manufacturing
plant that exists harmoniously with its
surroundings.
The Foundation, too, also led a nationwide
simultaneous tree planting activity organized by
the Metrobank Group to mark the CSR Week.
10,000 beneficiaries assisted
through the “Bags of Blessing”
16
M etrobank Foundation, I nc.
Dubbed “You’re in Green Hands,” it gathered
an unprecedented 1,854 volunteers of the
Metrobank Purple Hearts Club and from the
subsidiaries & affiliates of the Metrobank Group,
who planted about 17,500 seedlings in nine
sites across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The
project aptly symbolized the Group’s growing
commitment to its responsibility as good stewards
of the environment for future generations.
Sharing “Bags of Blessing”
“It is our wish that other companies will also
follow in the footsteps of the Metrobank Group
and initiate this kind of activity in the future,”
says DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman, lauding
the special gift-giving drive, “Bags of Blessing.”
Instead of hosting a lavish party for its clients,
Metrobank Group chose to celebrate the Chinese
New Year with the less fortunate by distributing
P10-million worth of bags of goods to 10,000
poor families all over the country including those
who were affected by natural calamities in 2010.
Being the Group’s CSR arm, the Foundation
led and mobilized more than 1,000 employee
volunteers from the Metrobank Purple Hearts
Club and their counterparts at the Manila Doctors
Hospital (MDH) for the project held on February 3
to 9, 2011.

donation in the form of a pledge to President
Benigno S. Aquino III in a simple turnover
ceremony at the Malacañan Palace, where the
Foundation later hosted an appreciation dinner
for its different communications and media
units and staff. Each year since 1987 when
the Foundation first presented its outstanding
teachers to the late President Corazon C.
Aquino, they have been graciously welcoming
awardees to the Palace and generously providing
assistance in intensifying public awareness of and
participation in the Foundation’s pursuits.
Converging for a Common Cause
A big thank you for teachers
The Foundation takes great pride in enduring
strong partnerships it has gained during the past
three decades with numerous institutions from
the government and non-government sectors.
Collaborations with like-minded organizations
have resulted in successful endeavors such as
the annual Teachers’ Month Campaign (TMC)
honoring the unique role of teachers in educating
the youth.
On its 4th year, combined efforts from the
Foundation and major players of the campaign –
DepEd, LGUs, business, socio-civic organizations,
and academe – have helped institutionalize
the month-long celebration throughout the
country. President Aquino signed Presidential
Proclamation No. 242, declaring September
5 to October 5 as National Teachers’ Month.
DepEd divisions, both in Metro Manila and the
provinces, staged various activities for teachers
during the month. Commercial establishments
offered promos and discount packages. Inspiring
stories of Filipino mentors were featured
on popular TV programs, magazines and
newspapers, while social networking sites were
flooded with messages, thanking these heroes
for touching countless lives.
In line with the Foundation’s objective of
encouraging continuing excellence among the
country’s educators, it has formed partnerships
with different academic
institutions and organizations
for scholarship programs for
its SOT awardees to pursue
higher education. In 2011, it
partnered with the Agency
for International Development
(AusAID) to launch a leadership
training implemented under
the agency’s Fellowship for
International Understanding
Program. It gave select members
of the Network of Outstanding
Teachers and Educators (NOTED), including
four (4) awardees from last year’s search an
opportunity to participate in a study visit to
Australia.

Professorial Chairs for Excellence
More than a decade ago, in the belief on the
importance of continuing research to further
strengthen key professions in the country, the
Foundation linked up with premier institutions to
establish Professorial Chairs in the areas of law,
medicine, and public service and governance. The
Metrobank Foundation Professorial Lecture in the
Judiciary is a joint undertaking of the Foundation,
the Supreme Court of the Philippines, and the
Philippine Judicial Academy (PhilJA) to educate
the citizenry on public interest issues. Last year,
8th chair holder and well-known activist lawyer
Harry I. Roque, Jr. tackled legal nuances to the
Philippine ratification of the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court (ICC), underlining
how the move can help end impunity in the
country. By signing the said law, the Philippines
unites with the international community in taking
a stand on human rights and the supremacy of
law even in times of conflict.
The Foundation likewise teamed up with the
Supreme Court and PhilJA for its inaugural
Academic Excellence Lecture Series (AELS) to
bring knowledge of law to a broader audience
by allowing professorial chair holders to present
18
M etrobank Foundation, I nc.
their researches in other venues aside from their
resident institutions. Held at the University of the
East College of Law, the lecture was given by
former Supreme Court Justice Dante O. Tinga.
He talked about corporate rehabilitation in the
Philippines and highlighted the pressing need
for legislators to pass a comprehensive law on
corporate rehabilitation.
The Professorial Chair Lecture for Public
Service and Governance on the other hand,
is a partnership with the Ateneo School
of Government and the Ateneo de Manila
University’s Department of Political Science.
Last year’s lecture entitled “Assessment of the
2010 Elections and Ways Forward” was given
by Elections Commissioner Rene Sarmiento,
who was cited for his sterling record as a public
servant beginning from his days as a human
rights lawyer during the Martial Law era to
his appointment in the 1987 Constitutional
Commission and in the government posts he has
held since. Commissioner Sarmiento provided
thoughtful insights on the 2010 automated
elections as well as recommendations for
crucial reforms. Commenting on the timeliness
of subject matter, MBFI President Aniceto M.
Sobrepeña enthused: “While elections serve
as an important cornerstone in the exercise of
democracy, education is the key that allows
democracy to work.”
For Arts’ Sake
Meanwhile, in line with the month-long
celebration of the Philippine International Arts
Festival (PIAF), the Foundation linked with the
National Commission for Culture and the Arts
(NCCA) and the Philippine International Arts
Festival (PIAF) to launch the MADE Art Caravan
initiative. For the very first time, the competition’s
latest batch of winning works were put on exhibit
in venues outside of Metrobank’s corporate
offices, providing wider exposure to the artists.
The MADE Art Caravan also brought along
notable art lecturers, who discussed a wide array
of topics related to art and design during the
16 learning sessions attended by around 1,500
students in four universities and colleges in
Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Another alliance the Foundation forged to
bolster its commitment to promote and nurture
the Filipinos’ artistic excellence was with the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for the
“DiplomART: Cultural Diplomacy through
Philippine Visual Arts” project. Designed for
Filipino diplomats and personnel from the
agency, DiplomART will be part of DFA’s Cultural
Diplomacy Program, which seeks to establish,
develop, and sustain foreign relations through
culture, arts, and education. For its maiden
run, the Foundation invited two distinguished
speakers: noted historian and 2006 Outstanding
Teacher, Dr. Ambeth Ocampo and famed art
critic and 2011 MADE Painting Competition
judge, Cid Reyes.
Creating Ripples of Change
The Foundation’s legacy lies in the communities
it serves - its awardees and beneficiaries, whom
it has inspired and empowered to become better
members of the society and agents of positive
influence among their peers. They make the
Foundation’s humble contributions to nation
building more relevant and meaningful.
Policemen Responsible for Organizing, Training,
and Empowering Communities (PROTECT)
and Network of Outstanding Teachers and
Educators (NOTED) worked together for the
“Pulis Ko, Teacher Ko at PROTECT Ako” project
to train Grade 6 and 1st Year High School
students on responsible citizenship that is key
to strengthening police community relations.
NOTED, which previously developed the
lesson plans for the said classes, conducted a
trainers’ training for police personnel who will
Annual Report 2011

be involved in the program. Simultaneously,
NOTED sustained its initiatives to foster creativity
and academic excellence among educators by
sharing best practices in the field. It brought its
“Lecture Caravan” to Paete, Laguna, training
around 200 teachers on effective teaching
strategies. NOTED also organized a forum
entitled “Rekindling and Sustaining the Passion
for Teaching,” featuring inspirational talks from
three (3) Outstanding Teachers.
For its part, The Organization of Philippine
Soldiers with Outstanding Leadership, Dedication,
Initiative, Excellence, and Responsibility to Society
(TOPSOLDIERS) embarked on a disaster
management training project dubbed
“Building Community Resilience through
Civil Military Community Managed
Disaster Risk Reduction” or CMDRR2.
The project, which aims to train select
members of the AFP, underscores the
indispensable role of the military in
responding to helping communities
prepare for disasters and other natural
calamities. The CMDRR2 project is being
piloted in Zambales.

Setting Benchmarks of Excellence
The standard of excellence espoused by the
Foundation has been consistently affirmed and
recognized by its peers within and beyond the
development arena. Over the years, it has been
acclaimed for the successes and achievements of
its programs, making it one of the most awarded
corporate foundations in the country. In the true
spirit of giving back, the Foundation regards
every citation and accolade as an opportunity to
share its learnings and best practices with other
institutions engaged in social development.

Addressing Millenium
Development Goals
In 2011, the Metrobank Foundation assisted
WAND (Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and
Development) Foundation, a development
organization which seeks to empower the rural
poor by conducting research and development
activities in the areas of sustainable agriculture,
ecological sanitation and rural livelihoods.
Specifically, MBFI sponsored the provision
of schools supplies and other basic needs
of indigent children and the requirements
for backyard vegetable gardening in the
Municipality of Libertad, Misamis Oriental.
For the past three decades, the Metrobank
Foundation has been working relentlessly
to ensure that its brand of corporate social
responsibility impact real lives in positive and
lasting ways. The Foundation always endeavors to make
its programs sustainable and relevant to the ever-changing
needs of the communities it serve. It is in the belief that it is
not simply about giving aid. The Foundation is making social
investments for the future of our nation.
Annual Report 2011

Addressing the Millennium
Development Goals
The imminent deadline for the achievement of
the country’s Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) in 2015 has created opportunities
for the private sector to intensify its efforts to
contribute to this gargantuan task. In fact, as
the centerpiece of its development agenda, the
Aquino administration encourages increased
public-private partnerships for growth and social
infrastructure programs.
In pursuit of its social development goal, the
Foundation heeded this call and invested nearly
Php 10 million in institutions working to deliver
on the Philippines’ commitment to the MDGs,
specifically those engaged in the critical areas of
poverty reduction, improvement of maternal and
child health, and universal access to education.
Representatives from these NGOs, socio-civic
groups, and LGUs personally accepted the
Foundation’s donation during the annual Grants
Turnover ceremonies in September. Among
those who attended the event was Presidential
Sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, who accepted the
Foundation’s Php 1 million donation for the
Aklat Gabay Aruga tungo sa Pag-angat at Pagasa (AGAPP) project to build classrooms cum
libraries called “Silid Pangarap” in impoverished
barangays nationwide.
24
M etrobank Foundation, I nc.
The Foundation has also supported other charitable
institutions involved in programs to provide
access to primary education as MDG Goal 2 or
set-up infrastructures that enhances the delivery
of this service. These include the Federation of
Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (FFCCCI) through a Php 4-million grant
from the Foundation. Ten (10) 2-classroom barrio
schools were constructed. On the other hand,
the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction
(IIRR) constructed a pilot disaster-resilient
classroom for Tacdugan Elementary School in San
Jacinto, Masbate funded by the Foundation. The
said classroom is envisioned to be a model for
communities threatened by calamities and disasters
brought by climate change. The Municipality
of Lubang in Occidental Mindoro also received
assistance for its “One Laptop per Child” program.
The very first of its kind in the country and in
Southeast Asia, it aspires to provide public school
students in the municipality access to the latest
in information technology by equipping them
with low-cost personal computers (PCs). The idea
for the said undertaking was pioneered by the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to
create educational opportunities for schoolchildren
in developing countries with inexpensive but
functional and energy-efficient laptop computers.
On poverty alleviation as MDG Goal 1, the
Foundation has carefully evaluated and partnered
with select organizations which are implementing
programs that help indigent sectors and
communities to rise from poverty. Our main
objective is to build capacity among beneficiaries in
different income generating activities. Among these
organizations is the Alalay sa Kaunlaran, Inc. (ASKI),
an NGO working with OFWs and their families,
instilling in them the discipline of managing their
hard-earned money. The group holds financial
literacy seminars and promotes the development
of micro, and small to medium enterprises, as
well as delivers basic social services for the socalled modern-day heroes of the country.
Another organization we assisted was the Dairy
Confederation of the Philippines (DairyCon). As
the apex organization of all dairy cooperatives
in the Philippines, DairyCon serves as an
avenue for dairy farmers in the discussion of
common interests affecting the dairy industry.
MBFI supported its organizational development
seminars for dairy cooperative officers aimed
at enhancing their knowledge in managing a
business. The Foundation also bestowed grant
upon the WAND (Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition
and Development) Foundation. The organization
seeks to empower the rural poor by conducting
research and development activities in the arena
of sustainable agriculture, ecological sanitation
and promoting rural livelihoods. MBFI supported
their project on vegetable gardening in Libertad,
Misamis Oriental, where most of their projects on
ecological sanitation, small farm development,
and sustainable local livelihoods are held in a
6-hectare demonstration cum training farm.
On addressing the MDG Goal 4 on Reducing
Child Mortality, one organization we assisted
is the Children for Breastfeeding, Inc. The
organization established the first breastfeeding
clinic for indigent patients in a private hospital
in the Philippines. As an intervention, the
Foundation supported the childbirth preparation
classes of the organization that promotes
breastfeeding as a healthy option for mothers to
reduce poverty and infant mortality. Childhope
Asia Philippines, on the other hand, promotes
the welfare of street children in the Philippines.
It works toward the liberation of the child from
the suffering caused by working and living on
the street. MBFI supported its mobile health clinic
project that responds to the children’s immediate
health needs. This clinic also trains the street
children on various aspects of primary care.
Finally, in the area of promoting MDG Goal 5
Maternal Health, the Foundation supported the
program of the Foundation of Our Lady of Peace
Mission (FOLPMI) on setting up a satellite health
clinic for the tribal community health workers
called “Tribal Barefoot Doctors” in Bato, Leyte,
assisting 500 beneficiaries.

Delivering Quality Healthcare
Uniting for Japan and Responding to
Calamities
The Foundation joined the international
community in responding to call for humanitarian
operations for the thousands of victims of the
tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake in
Japan in March. Following the Php 10-million
donation from the Metrobank Group, Toyota
Motor Philippines Corp. and Mitsui & Co. Pte.
Ltd, the Foundation made a Php 1-million
additional assistance through the Philippine
Embassy in Japan. Half of the amount came from
Metrobank employees, clients, and the general
public, whom the Foundation engaged in the
cause by establishing the MBFI-Japan Assistance
Fund where they deposited their donation; while
the half was a matching grant from Metrobank.
On the home front, the Foundation remained
equally responsive to emergency and relief
operations for Filipinos affected by calamities
that wrecked havoc in different parts of the
country. It donated a total of Php 2-million to
the LGUs affected by tropical storms “Pedring”
and “Quiel” that submerged many provinces in
Luzon in October, including Bulacan, Pampanga,
Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, and Isabela.
Later in the year, the Foundation reached out to
victims of typhoon “Sendong” in Visayas and
Mindanao with a P5-million donation to the cities
of Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Dumaguete, and
the Municipality of Tanjay in Negros Oriental.

“We are a health institution providing holistic
care that exceeds industry standards and
that anticipates and responds to the needs
of the patients, their families and relevant
communities.” So begins the Social Vision of
the Manila Doctors Hospital (MDH) adopted in
2011 to mark its reinvigorated commitment to
leadership in the field of healthcare by making
it accessible to patients, especially to the
marginalized and the underserved, therefore
creating greater social impact.
As the main pillar of the Foundation’s healthcare
advocacy, MDH implements numerous
CSR interventions such as medical-surgical
missions, community health and school health
programs, and hospital services. In the past
year, these undertakings served more than
33,000 beneficiaries which include outpatients,
inpatients, and those who received free surgery
and treatment for cleft lip and palate, ovarian
and uterine tumors, and cataract.
The hospital also continued to reach out to its
stakeholders in the City of Manila by bringing
its community health program to yet another
impoverished barangay in the metropolis. With
the aim to build self-reliant community partners,
the comprehensive program focuses on building
the capacity of community health volunteers
and empowering community members to take
charge of their health and well-being. Validating
the sustainability of the program is the Excellence
Award that the MDH also won in the 2011 Asian
Hospital Management Awards that recognized its
successful implementation of a community health
program in Brgy. 737 in San Andres, Manila. To
further spread its reach to other areas in Manila,
the Hospital likewise signed a Memorandum
of Agreement with the City Mayor of Manila,
adopting a new barangay, Brgy. 662 in Paco,
Manila for 3 years. MDH’s involvement in its
other CSR programs also won the hospital several
accolades such an Anvil Award of Excellence
for its Recyclables Program and a Philippine
Quill Merit Award for its Oral Health Program
for Grade 2 students of Epifanio Delos Santos
Elementary School in Singalong, Manila.
The Hospital’s steadfast commitment to
excellence in healthcare also did not go
unnoticed as it garnered both local and
international awards for its patient safety and
customer service projects. Foremost of these is
MDH’s historic four-peat from AHMA receiving
the Winner of Excellence Award (CSR Project
Category) for its program on community health
delivery and planning particularly in Barangay 737
San Andres, followed by a Center of Excellence
seal from the PhilHealth. Meanwhile, four of
the hospital’s service improvement projects
bagged one gold, two silver, and a one
bronze award respectively from the 2011 Search
for Outstanding Quality Improvement Projects in
Hospitals organized by the Philippine Society of
Quality Awards (PSQua).
Another feather to its cap is a set of recognitions
in the 10th Philippine Quill Awards by
the International Association of Business
Communicators-Philippines (IABC). MDH’s
“Pause for Patients’ Safety” bagged an Award
of Excellence—a system that encourages doctors
and nurses in the Operating Room to utilize the
Patient Safety Checklist (PSC) following standard
surgical procedures. And in the recent 47th Anvil
Awards by the Public Relations Society of the
Philippines (PRSP), MDH took home two (2) Anvil
Awards of Excellence for their programs entitled
“Going Green”: MDH’s Journey to Inspiring
a Green Work Environment” and “Inspiring
Excellence in Pursuit of Quality: MDH’s Journey
towards a Culture of Excellence” and an Anvil
Award of Merit for “Ngiting Maganda Dulot ay
Saya” – A Comprehensive Oral Health Program
for Grade 2 Students of Epifanio Delos Santos
Elementary School (EDSES) in Singalong, Manila.
Despite strings of commendations and honors,
MDH is not resting on its laurels
as it pushes forward on its
mission to provide world-class
healthcare to the Filipinos. Last
year, the hospital invested in new
technologies for diagnostics by
acquiring the latest CT scan and
mammography equipment. In
line with the hospital’s ongoing
efforts to get MDH accredited by
the Joint Accreditation Canada
International, it conducted its first regional
workshop on emergency preparedness, response,
and management. The event was attended by
Canadian Ambassador Christopher Thornley and
participants from the Philippines, Canada, and
Malaysia.
