From social enterprise, saving a river and providing assistance to distressed OFWs - these has been the key advocacies of The Villar Foundation in the past 20 years.

Last year, the Villar Foundation took their OFW assistance program notches higher by organizing the ‘First OFW and Family Summit: Kabuhayan Para sa Kinabukasan’ in partnership with GoNegosyo. Over 5,000 OFWs and their family members came at World Trade Center to attend talks and seminars that would equip them with necessary know-how and adopt an entrepreneurial mindset. There were also various booths that offer business ideas and opportunities.

The Villar Foundation also raffled off a house and lot from Camella Homes during the one-day summit. Foresa Morada, a wife of an OFW from Quezon City, was the lucky winner of the house and lot. She tearfully shared her experience that although her husband has been an OFW for many years, they still don’t have a house of their own since most of their earnings goes to their children’s education.

When I started blogging, one of my favorite topic is about advocacy, corporate social response. Perhaps, knowing that someone is willing to help gives us hope .  The recent blog post I shared in one of my website is about " Girl Talk,Your Voice Your Move " , a campaign from Modess Philippines wherein young girls had the opportunity to speak out for the recent May election. Modess Philippines compiled these shout outs  and put it into a special edition publication called Girl Talk then sent it to our senators. I hope our senators got their copy of this book.  Not so long, I met some of our public officials, including some of our senators. Certainly, a short interview would not be enough to get to know them but it also leave us an impression of what kind of person they are - are they accommodating, sincere and do they speak well.  Mrs. Hanepbuhay ,  Senator Cynthia Villa r,  is one of the senators I met few years before the election through the Villar Foundation .
