Fostering Education & Environment for Development, Incorporated ("FEED") Philippines is a non-stock,

FEED aims to contribute to the preservation and rehabilitation of the environment by delivering high quality professionals to the Philippine environmental sector through the support of their education. Our aim is to restore the environment of the Philippines to its natural, inherent and core strengths, through for example the preservation of indigenous forests or the advancement of research in environmental studies and the sustainable development of its agronomical base.

Last March 14, 2026, six eco-warriors from Project Gutom, led by Sophia Marie Angeles, gathered at the Laguna-Quezon Land Grant in Siniloan, Laguna for a forest restoration activity.

Together, they planted 61 Balitbitan (native Philippine) seedlings, contributing to the restoration of the Sierra Madre’s forest ecosystem.

Before planting, local forest guards Mr. Junjun Cuna and Mr. Roger Glipo shared insights on the ecological importance of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range—our country’s natural shield against powerful typhoons—and the vital role forests play in protecting communities, biodiversity, soil, and water.
Despite the unpredictable mountain weather, the day brought bright sunshine and a shared commitment to giving back to Mother Nature.

Every native tree planted is a step toward healthier forests, stronger ecosystems, and a more resilient future.🌱

61 trees. 6 volunteers. One shared commitment to the forest.
Thank you, Project Gutom, for showing up for the Sierra Madre. 💚

Have we become so quick to replace nature that we have forgotten how well it already protected us?

Along the coastlines of Dulao and Baroro, La Union, mangroves tell two different stories—one of what remains, and another of what was lost and is now being restored.

This is a story about mangroves, but more importantly, it is a story about people, protection, and the meaning of coexistence. 🙏🏾🤝💚

A little community love from our favorites. 💚

Thank you to Think Human Fund, for inviting FEED to showcase products from our partner communities during ESG Week last July 31, 2026 at Concentrix.

We brought two of the FEED tribe's all-time favorites— Delailah Yaranon Lacadue smoked tinapa from our fishing community in Dulao, Aringay, La Union, and Sir Randy Velina 's citronella oil from the UP Laguna–Quezon Land Grant, Siniloan, Laguna. These are products we genuinely enjoy and regularly use ourselves.

More than livelihood products, they represent the communities we continue to grow with through our Ridge to Reef program. Every opportunity to share them helps encourage our local producers to keep creating and opens more doors for sustainable livelihoods. (And yes... they're proudly not made with AI. 😄)

Thank you, Concentrix Think Human Fund, for supporting community-made products and the people behind them. 🌿

A Quick Update‼️‼️

We wanted to let you know that our Instagram account has been temporarily suspended due to what appears to be a mistake. At this time, we’re still unsure what triggered it, but we’re actively working with Instagram to have our account reviewed and restored as soon as possible.

We know many of you stay connected with us here, so we’re just as disappointed by this unexpected interruption. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we sort things out.

We’ll keep you updated and you may reach us through our Facebook account, email or mobile no. We look forward to being back with you soon. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

FEED has been on the Ridge to REEForestation journey with various Concentrix teams since 2023 in the Philippines, now 4 years later we are honoured to have been selected among and with several other NGO/orgs to expand our reach and impact through their Think Human Fund (THF) advocacy - in support of value added community-based forestry protection work at the UP Sierra Madre Land Grants - for water and food security, livelihood development and diversification.

Happiest birthday to our master diver and wave rider, Ronald Pansit 🏄🏽🤿🌊

In every wave you ride and every dive you take, there is purpose, care, and a quiet kind of bravery that uplifts our whole community. Your steady presence feels like an anchor to us — reliable, grounding, and strong.

But what makes you even more admirable is the life you build beyond the shore. A devoted and present father, raising three beautiful souls with the same patience, gentleness, and love you offer to Mother Nature. The way you protect the reefs mirrors the way you protect your family — with heart, intention, and devotion.

May this year return to you the kindness you give and the goodness you plant wherever you go. The ocean is better because of you, and so are we. 🤙🏽✨

In our fieldwork conversations, we often hear Manang Delailah speak about “hiya.” She shares how she would rather adjust herself than inconvenience others — choosing quiet sacrifice over causing discomfort. It is in these simple moments that we see how deeply she carries respect and care for her community.

In Filipino culture, hiya is more than shyness. As described by psychologist J. Bulatao, it is an active and selfless restraint of one’s personal wants for the sake of the community — an inner respect rooted in belonging. It reflects the understanding that we move not only as individuals, but as part of something greater.

This spirit closely mirrors pakikisama, where community takes precedence over self. And in many ways, this is how Manang Delailah leads — quietly, patiently, and with humility. She leads not by standing above others, but by walking alongside them, listening first, and offering herself in service. Her strength lies in her gentleness, her willingness to yield so others may feel seen, heard, and supported.

Through the years, Manang Delailah has shown us that leadership can be soft yet steadfast. Her humility, generosity, and commitment to both community and environment continue to guide and inspire our work in FEED. She reminds us that caring for mother nature also means caring for people, relationships, and shared responsibility.

On your special day, we celebrate you — a woman whose quiet strength nurtures both land and community. May the forest always be with you, Manang Delailah, just as you have been with us through every season of this shared journey. 🌿 love, your FEED family.
