4 From your Chairman and President Every endeavor we undertake in the is done with passion and a lot of heart. As the implementing arm of the Aboitiz Group s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, we are driven by our passion to serve, continuously finding ways to fulfill our mission to help people help themselves. We put a lot of heart into what we do, initiating and developing sustainable projects for our communities across the country, and entering into strategic partnerships for greater impact and wider coverage. By fusing passion, heart and the talents of our team members and volunteers, the Foundation has evolved into an organization deeply committed to enrich the lives of more people and more communities with each passing year. The Foundation has been helping people and communities for over two decades now. Through the years, we have been consistent in focusing our assistance on the areas of education, enterprise development, primary health and child care, and more recently, the environment. By fusing passion, heart and the talents of our team members and volunteers, the Foundation has evolved into an organization deeply committed to enrich the lives of more people and more communities with each passing year. It was a banner year for the Foundation in 2011 as we were able to expand our reach and substantially implement more projects. We implemented various CSR projects nationwide amounting to Php276 million compared to the Php95 million that we allocated in 2010, allowing us to do more for our communities. We also intensified our knowledge and skills transfer to our business units (BUs), training them to independently implement their own CSR projects. Their initiatives alone translated to Php115 million worth of projects that they directly funded and implemented in their respective areas of operation. This brought to Php391 million the consolidated amount spent by the entire Aboitiz Group for CSR projects in Our flagship intervention continues to be focused on education, which had an allocation of Php192 million for 2011 or 69% of the total expenditure for the year. We believe that providing underprivileged children with access to education, especially in their formative years, could help increase their chances of achieving a better future for themselves. We appropriated funds for the construction of 146 classrooms; 94 of these were regular classrooms while 52 were for preschoolers nationwide and built through our partnership with the Aklat, Gabay at Aruga Tungo sa Pag-angat at Pag-asa (AGAPP) Foundation. AGAPP s target is 1,000 classrooms by June It was also a fruitful year for our enterprise development efforts. We expanded our microfinance portfolio, in terms of loans granted and areas covered. After our success in Cebu, we decided to implement the program in Benguet and Davao. We also trained our funding recipients, mostly cooperatives, with the knowledge and skills needed to implement and manage sustainable livelihood projects. We granted loans to organizations with a good track record in entrepreneurship, those committed to build their enterprise for the benefit not only of its members but for the community at large. We are very pleased with our funding recipients repayment rate of 96%, allowing us to plow back funds to benefit more beneficiaries. We hope this will result in an ever-growing cycle that will benefit more communities over time. Primary health and child care is another program that remains close to our heart. In 2011, we increased our allocation for this program, allowing us to help more families and more communities. Thousands have benefited from our regular medical, optical and dental missions all across the country. We continued to build water systems to ensure the well-being of residents in our host communities. On the environment, we are expanding our involvement in projects related to its protection and preservation. We are on track with our Aboitiz Passion for Reforest and Agroforest to Keep (APARK) initiative, a biodiversity enhancement program of the Group that seeks to plant 3 million trees by the year In 2011, we planted 850,000 seedlings, mostly of the indigenous variety, bringing to 2 million the total number of trees planted so far. This number of trees is estimated to sequester an equivalent of 46,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. We implemented various CSR projects nationwide amounting to Php276 million; allowing us to do more for our communities. Opportunities abound for the Foundation to assist in areas where our companies operate. However, we acknowledge that we cannot achieve our goals on our own. We therefore continue to build and strengthen our partnerships with groups that share our goal to empower communities and to help improve the quality of life of our fellow Filipinos. Over the years, we have been partnering with local government units and host communities to meet the social development needs of the community. We have linked with non-government organizations (NGO) such as AGAPP and Education Reform Movement, an NGO implementing the Bayanihan Pampaaralan (BP) project, through the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF). The goal of both the AGAPP and BP is to build classrooms all over the country within two years. 144 Annual Report

5 From your Chairman and President We have forged partnerships with organizations like Hapinoy and Winrock International-AMORE3 (Alliance for Mindanao & Multi-Regional Renewable / Rural Energy Development) to tap microentrepreneurs in the solar electrification of rural communities in Luzon and Mindanao, respectively. These projects will see fruition in We recently established the Weather Philippines Foundation, Inc., which will install 1,000 weather stations nationwide that will provide critical weather information for better disaster preparedness. Thus far, this is the Aboitiz Group s biggest CSR contribution to the country. We continue to be actively involved in national organizations like PBSP, LCF, the Association of Foundations, and the Philippine Council for NGO Certification. As we pursue growing our CSR and deepening our commitment to it, our team members Group-wide are likewise keeping pace, similarly unwavering in their commitment to serve our communities. They plant trees; clean schools and repair broken fixtures during Brigada Eskwela; implement various Adopt-a-School projects; feed underprivileged children; hold tutorial classes; and volunteer in disaster relief operations and other outreach activities. In all these initiatives, the Foundation team is always there to help make things happen. We would like to thank them for being the hands-on and on-ground implementors of our various projects, selfless and persevering in making a difference in the lives of our beneficiaries. We are grateful to the different BUs across the Aboitiz Group for their continued active support of the Foundation s mission. We thank our Board of Trustees for their guidance and their trust, and our donors whose generosity allows us to serve more communities. We are especially appreciative of our team members Groupwide for their voluntary contribution of time and effort in the Foundation s many endeavors. There is still so much to be done for our communities and we assure you that the Foundation will pursue finding ways to help more people help themselves. We will continue to be our host communities neighbor of choice, empowering them to fulfill their dreams, enriching their lives and those of their communities. We acknowledge that we cannot achieve our goals on our own. We therefore continue to build and strengthen our partnerships with groups that share our goal to empower communities and to help improve the quality of life of our fellow Filipinos. Erramon I. Aboitiz Chairman Jon Ramon Aboitiz President 146 Annual Report

6 From your Managing Trustee The year 2011 was a remarkable one for the. A substantial increase in our budget enabled us to strengthen our relationships with partner communities as we shared values to help build and fulfill the dreams of our host communities, and enrich their lives. We embarked on initiatives that empowered community-based cooperatives in areas where Aboitiz Group business units operate and trained their CSR teams to strategically identify projects that beneficiaries really need. These developments allowed us to implement more projects and reach out to more communities. We judiciously identified and implemented projects in the areas of education, enterprise development, primary health and child care, and environment to ensure that these are sustainable enough to benefit more beneficiaries. In 2011, the Foundation appropriated Php276 million for its various social development initiatives, as against our initial budget of Php250 million for the year. We judiciously identified and implemented projects in the areas of education, enterprise development, primary health and child care, and environment to ensure that these are sustainable enough to benefit more beneficiaries. Education As in the previous years, education remained the Foundation s major thrust for Of our total appropriation, education-related initiatives amounted to Php192 million, or 69% of the budget. We appropriated funds for the construction of 94 classrooms, provided 2,421 scholarships, and donated various equipment and books. Noteworthy among these projects is our partnership with the Aklat, Gabay at Aruga Tungo sa Pag-angat at Pag-asa (AGAPP) Foundation, in which we have turned over 52 classrooms to AGAPP and community beneficiaries. For 2012, we commit to construct 42 more classrooms under the AGAPP partnership. These donations bring to 452 the total number of classrooms that we have donated since the Foundation was established 23 years ago. Enterprise development Under our enterprise development component, we gave out loan packages totaling Php25.7 million to several cooperatives across the country. These loans allowed our partner cooperatives to implement different livelihood projects and skills training programs. We also organized capability-building programs not only to equip members of cooperatives with additional livelihood skills but also ensure the sustainability of the projects they are implementing. Primary health and child care More projects under the primary health and child care program were implemented last year due to the increased allocation of funds. With Php17 million in funding, we implemented several medical/dental/ optical missions and approved the construction of water systems. Complementing the Foundation s projects were the CSR initiatives of companies under the Aboitiz Group. These business units directly funded Php115 million worth of community projects, with half of the amount spent on education-related initiatives. The companies significant contribution of resources brought to Php391 million the total amount that the Group has allocated for various CSR projects. Environment As part of our biodiversity enhancement efforts, we planted 850,000 seedlings all over the country during our simultaneous tree planting activity in More trees will be planted in the coming years as part of our support to the Aboitiz Passion for Reforest and Agroforest to Keep (APARK) initiative, which seeks to plant 3 million trees by the year To be able to further expand our reach, we enhanced our partnerships with local government units and community beneficiaries. We also started linking up with organizations whose programs complement our goals to help people help themselves and be a neighbor of choice. Employee-initiated In 2011, we also saw more team members volunteering in different employeeinitiated activities. These projects included the Group-wide tree planting, Christmas outreach, Brigada Eskwela and Adopta-School. With the Foundation in the lead, team members of Aboitiz Group companies nationwide also involved themselves in relief operations to help those who were displaced by tropical storm Sendong. Their quick response enabled the Foundation to help 18,165 families in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities, and in Negros Oriental. 148 Annual Report

7 From your Managing Trustee However, we in the Foundation realize that there is still more to be done. To be able to further expand our reach, we enhanced our partnerships with local government units and community beneficiaries. We also started linking up with organizations whose programs complement our goals to help people help themselves and be a neighbor of choice. I would also like to extend my gratitude to our donor companies for their generous contributions and for working together with us in our common pursuit to become the neighbor of choice in their respective areas of operation. To the entire Aboitiz team, may you continue to keep alive your passion to serve. EDUCATION ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT On behalf of the Foundation, our partner communities and our beneficiaries, I would like to thank the Board of Trustees for guiding and supporting us in our desire to serve our countrymen. To my Foundation team, I sincerely appreciate your devotion in making the Foundation an instrument in improving people s lives. Thank you for your passion, dedication, and tireless efforts in coming up with new ideas, and for your courage and drive to see these ideas come to life.

16 Enterprise Development Table 10 - Multi-purpose Building Beneficiaries Donor Location TURNED OVER IN 2011 St. Vincent Neighborhood Multi-purpose Cooperative Liloan, Cebu Good sting comes to those who work There are many things humans can learn from bees, among them the value of industry and teamwork. Cris Gabisay, beekeeper at the Barangay Pung-ol Sibugay Bee Farm in the uplands of Cebu City, reveals how things work in the honey bee colony. Feature The Foundation has maintained a collection efficiency rate of 96%, allowing it to fund more income-generating activities for its partner cooperatives. The honey bee colony or all bee colonies for that matter is a monarchy, ruled by the queen. The queen s only role in the colony is to reproduce. Apart from the queen, each member of the colony has a function. The drones sole function is to mate with the queen. The rest of the colony is made up of worker bees. The job description of worker bees is determined by their age. The youngest are tasked with answering the queen s demands and cleaning the cells in the hive. Midlife worker bees (ages between 12 and 20 days) are responsible for building the honeycomb and storing the nectar collected by older forager bees. The foragers are the ones that visit flowers to collect nectar, and accidentally help flowers pollinate. As a society model, Cris says, the bee colony is quite efficient. Cris is a member of the Pung-ol Sibugay Multi-purpose Cooperative, which realized that bees offer free labor they are nature s tireless pollinating agents and help increase production at their cutflower farms. The honey bees are special as pollinating agents because they have what is known as flower fidelity they collect pollens from one type of flower at a time. For the Pung-ol Sibugay cooperative, raising bees is also like hitting three hives with one stone: apart from increasing their cutflower production, they can make money selling honey and, eventually, from eco-tourism by charging entrance fees from people who want to watch how bees do it. The cooperative expects to harvest honey that they can sell by the third quarter of The bee farm opened in August 2011, but the cooperative chose not to charge admission fees yet as the area still lacks facilities, like huts, benches and restrooms. Despite this, the farm is now slowly becoming an eco-tourism destination for visitors of the city. The cooperative established the bee farm with assistance from the Aboitiz Business Assistance and Guidance (ABAG) program, the enterprise development component of the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. 168 The Pung-ol Sibugay Multi-purpose Cooperative, headed by Wedeliza Gabisay, said the bee farm and their other projects implemented with the help of the Foundation has helped them establish alternative livelihood and sustain the farmers income even during lean production periods.
