The Pasquil Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The rice program started in 1985 by Cornelio "Corney" Pasquil, Jr. and his wife Constancia "Connie" Pasquil. They learned during their visit that the elementary school children often had no breakfast which led to many not attending school. The couple began to raise money so that rice could be purchased, cooked and provided to th
e children. This resulted in children attending school and eating a warm meal. 2015 marks the food program's 30th year and The Pasquil Family Foundation looks to continue its legacy in Siquijor, Philippines. The second purpose of The Pasquil Family Foundation is to award educational scholarships to youth pursuing academic advancement. Our family personally provided a scholarship in honor and memory of our father, Cornelio "Corney" Pasquil, Jr. Meeting with the students and families propelled us to institutionalize these efforts and establish a non-profit organization. Youth Scholarships will be awarded to the following academic institutions or other non-profit organizations. For the academic year of 2015-2016, scholarships will be awarded to students meeting certain criteria on the scholarship applications:
1) Outstanding Filipino Youth Awards
- A project of the Philippine National Day Association
2) Delta High School, Clarksburg, CA. where the Pasquil siblings attended high school.
