Now in its fifth year, the Project ACE Sustainability Scholarship Programme is supporting a new generation of young leaders who care about their communities and the environment.

Being an ACE Sustainability Scholar goes beyond support for your college education. It’s an opportunity to gain hands-on conservation experience, learn from mentors, take part in community initiatives, and grow as a young leader making a difference in Bulata and beyond.

We believe in the potential of Bulata’s youth to help shape a more sustainable future.

Could you be our next Sustainability Scholar?

📣 Applications for AY 2026–2027 are now open.

What happens when opportunity comes closer to home?

People get the chance not only to learn, but to build skills, confidence, and new possibilities for their future. 🌱

For 55 days, 15 scholars from Bulata showed up, learned together, and worked toward a shared goal through the TESDA Housekeeping NC II training. By bringing accredited skills training directly into the community, the programme helped make learning more accessible while giving participants practical competencies they can carry into employment and other livelihood opportunities.

Today, all 15 scholars (8 women, 7 men) have successfully passed their competency assessment and earned their TESDA Housekeeping NC II qualification. 🎓

But the real milestone goes beyond the certificate. It is about what comes next: turning skills into opportunities, opportunities into more secure livelihoods, and learning into greater confidence to shape one's own future.

This achievement was made possible through the collaboration of the Barangay Council of Bulata, Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. (PRRCFI) through Project ACE, Punta Bulata Beach Resort and Spa, and Excelcius Vocational and Technical Training Center—working together to bring Bulata's first TESDA scholarship program closer to the people it was designed to serve.

Four years in the making. Four years of building the foundations for communities to lead their own change. 🌿

With Project ACE (Actions for Communities and Environment), we are growing stronger—together.
Our Year 4 Magazine captures how that change is taking root. Across Bulata and beyond, community members, young people, local governments, and partners are turning opportunities into action and taking greater ownership of their future.

Eight people’s organisations are now united through one federation. Young people once supported as scholars are now graduating and taking their next steps toward meaningful careers. Community enterprises are creating pathways to more resilient livelihoods. And citizen scientists are building the knowledge and skills to help steward the ecosystems their communities depend on.

These are more than individual milestones. Together, they show what becomes possible when we invest not only in projects, but in people, leadership, learning, and local institutions.

ACE 4 has been about creating the conditions for communities to lead, learn, adapt, and build solutions that last.

Four years on, the foundations are stronger.
And the community is ready to build on them.

Four years of progress. One journey, built together. 🌿

As Project ACE (Actions for Communities and Environment) marks its fourth year, we celebrate not only what has been achieved—but the people who made it possible.

This video tells their story: community leaders stepping forward, sea wardens protecting their waters, young people pursuing new opportunities, educators opening doors to learning, and community members turning ideas into action.

Across four years, these individual efforts have grown into something bigger: stronger local organisations, new pathways to livelihoods and education, and communities taking greater ownership of the places and resources that sustain them.

At the heart of this journey is the partnership between Communities for Nature, the Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. (PRRCFI), and LMAX Group—united by a shared belief in community-led conservation and sustainable development.

We are deeply grateful for the trust, commitment, and investment that have made four years of Project ACE possible.

Four years ago, the ACE Sustainability Scholarship began with a shared belief: that investing in young people is one of the most meaningful ways we can help shape stronger communities and a better future for our planet. Guided by the spirit of “Today’s youth, tomorrow’s conservationists,” the programme set out to open doors, nurture potential, and support young people as they build futures not only for themselves, but also for the communities around them.

Today, that vision is becoming reality.

Ten young people took a leap with us and became the very first ACE scholars. And now, six of them are proudly turning the tassel 🎓

What makes this milestone even more meaningful is that these graduates come from different fields, passions, and paths in life. Yet each of them carries the same promise: the potential to create positive change in their communities and beyond.

As this first batch steps into the next chapter of their journey, we hope they continue to grow as leaders, role models, and changemakers that will inspire other young people to dream bigger, reach further, and believe in the value of their own potential.

To our ACE pioneers: thank you for paving the way for the scholars who will follow after you. Your journey will always be part of the story of ACE.

Congratulations to the ACE Batch of 2026 🎉

This milestone would not have been possible without the shared commitment and partnership of the LMAX Group, Communities for Nature, and Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. through Project ACE.
