Francis S. Morales Resource Center - FSMRC

Francis S. Morales Resource Center - FSMRC FSMRC builds on the legacy of Francis S. Morales, or Tatay Francis, who advocated sustainable agriculture and environmental care and served the people.

Francis S. Morales, better known as Tatay Francis to many of his younger co-workers, died at age 63 while very active in the establishment of a national network of disaster survivors. His legacy as an advocate of people’s rights, sustainable agriculture, the environment, and disaster response lives on through organizations he was once a big part of. He left this world as the Executive Director of

BALSA Mindanao, an organization helping communities rise up from disasters. Before that, he was the spokesperson of the environmental advocacy group Panalipdan! Southern Mindanao from its founding in 2008 until 2012 and the advocacy officer of MASIPAG Mindanao regional office until 2006. Tatay Francis’ contribution to national development started way back before the Martial Law period during which he decided to leave priesthood and, instead, practiced his christian beliefs by actively promoting the defense of people’s rights. With such work experience spanning more than four decades, it is but fitting to establish an institute in his honor.
