Lighthouse Marina Resort Legacy Foundation

The Lighthouse Legacy Foundation is known for its active support in the environment, advocacy for responsible tourism, and promotion of sustainable livelihood. It was established in 2014 in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan by the founders of the Lighthouse Marina Resort located at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Philippines. The Lighthouse Marina Resort, since its inception in 2007, has made a name for itself as a company with a social purpose. Their passion to serve and be better goes beyond typical hotel operations. The company was a community champion and an environmental advocate, motivated by a genuine sense of moral leadership — a commitment to give something back and be a catalyst for change that will create a better future for all. Vision: A movement for change that pays good deeds forward among humankind for a great future. Mission: Improve the lives of people in the community through integrated and sustainable programs to enhance tourism, livelihood, health, and the environment.


As movements were being restricted by respective government safety protocols to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we have seen the positive effects to our environment brought about by the decrease in carbon emissions from running cars and factories. On the other hand, we have also seen negative effects such as the increase in medical waste which includes but not limited to face masks and gloves. Many businesses were wiped out and those who remained were forced to make drastic changes to their operations. The pandemic has changed the way people live and work and caused huge global socio-economic disruption. It is in these circumstances, that the foundation intends to explore strategies fit for the current situation that may serve as future guidelines for sustainability.
