The First of Its
Kind in Southeast Asia
PBSP is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia
being the only non-profit consortium of corporations
leading the advocacy on and the practice of corporate
social responsibility, (CSR) and corporate, citizenship.
It is modeled after the Venezuelan
Dividendo Voluntario para la Comunidad, adopting
self-taxation for its poverty alleviation programs.
36 Years of Concrete
CSR
For nearly four decades, it has been the business
sector's vehicle in delivering organized,
professional, and sustainable assistance to the
Filipino poor, particularly the landless farmers,
fisher folk, rural workers, urban poor, and indigenous
cultural communities. It has harnessed partnerships
among the government, NGOs, civil society and
donor institutions to expand the impact and relevance
of its work on poverty alleviation.
Rising above traditional welfare approaches, PBSP
promotes the philosophy of efficiency, self-help
and participation in improving the quality of
life of the underprivileged.
PBSP's guiding principle is "Helping
People Help Themselves."
