Over P5M for Ondoy survivors from PBSP

The Board of Trustees of the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), in its meeting yesterday, initially earmarked P5 million to assist communities affected by Typhoon Ondoy. The International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), one of the member-companies of PBSP, has also pledged P2 Million to support the foundation?s relief operations. Committed to poverty reduction, PBSP will assist flood-ravaged areas in Cainta, Marikina, Pasig and Quezon City. PBSP continues to mobilize resources here and in the United States of America.

This week, the corporate-led foundation will also pick up donations, in cash or in kind, from its members.

Other interested companies may call the PBSP Disaster Relief Operations numbers, 09285056005, 527-3740 or 527-3742. They may also email PBSP at pbsp@pbsp.org.ph .


Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) is the largest corporate-led, non-profit social development foundation in the Philippines. PBSP is at the forefront in the fight against poverty through trailblazing corporate citizenship programs developed and implemented with the strategic commitment of more than 240 PBSP member-companies.

PBSP works with strategic partners such as donor agencies, civil society organizations, communities, government and the academe in implementing programs in Education, Enterprise Development, Health and Water, and Area Resource Management.

Four million Filipinos have been assisted by PBSP in the past 38 years. So much more needs to be done. PBSP enjoins businesses, large or small, to commit resources wisely to programs that assist communities towards their self-reliance and improved quality of life.
