The DBWF has received several check donations from the members near and far and we are very grateful for your continued support. To keep you updated, last month we provided monetary assistance to the Katilingban sa Kalambuan for the victims of human trafficking and Akay Kalinga for the street children through Father Calvo. Our donation helped supply them with food and shelter. On behalf of our less fortunate kababayans, thank you for your generosity. May you be rewarded for your kindness!

We would like to thank all those who have sent in their cash donations to the DBWF in support of its various programs. Some of the projects we recently funded include the procurement of computer systems for Basilan National High School and DepEd, renovation of Claret school building, and the purchase of food items that were distributed to several barangays that were hit hard by Covid-19. Your unwavering support is very much appreciated. May the good Lord continue to bless you.

We wish everyone a safe, healthy and peaceful Christmas. Only a week to go and it's here! Happy holidays!

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the price of rubber in Basilan has dropped tremendously resulting in big losses for the land owners. Because of this, they have decided to stop harvesting and as a consequence the workers lost their source of income.The DBWF is committed in providing assistance to our kababayans and has sent financial help that was used to purchase rice which will be distributed to the workers. However, more relief is needed and we are counting on your kindness and generosity to support this cause. Any monetary assistance will go a long way. Each one of us has been affected in some form or another but we are in this difficult time together. Let's extend a helping hand to those in need.

Happy new year to you all. we hope you will celebrate the start of 2019 in good spirits with family and friends. Now that we’re a few days into the new year, it’s good to look ahead and think about what this year may bring us. But first, a quick look back.

2018 was quite a year for all of us at DBWF. We achieved some of our goals (our outstanding scholars who successfully got their bachelor’s degree with high honors and our reunion).

Of course, there’s still a lot of work ahead. However, it’s important for us to use our time wisely and move forward as decisively and swiftly as we can in 2019. That will only be possible with your continued dedication and support for DBWF’s short and long-term objectives. While we’ve successfully met some of our targets, we will continue to work together in order to be meet DBWF’s goals for 2019.

The past few years have had a significant impact on all of us, but we would like to thank you all for your significant support and dedication during those times. The year ahead will bring its own challenges, but we are sure by working together, keeping focused on our priorities, we will be successful.

365 days is almost complete, and another 365 new days are about to begin, may your New Year a blast of fun, full of cheer and warm greetings for everyone. Have a healthy New Year!

DBWF Board and Officers!!!

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers of the De Basilan World Foundation (DBWF), we would like to thank all of you who attended the 5th DBWF Reunion last Saturday and Sunday (July 14 & 15, 2018) at the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada and contributed in some way to its success.

It was such a pleasure to finally meet the attendees and put a pretty smile with your names. We met some of you for the first time, but we felt like we already knew you. Your attendance inspired us more to keep reconnecting with fellow Basileños and to continue with our objectives to help our communities thru various activities and projects as a nonprofit organization.

We also wanted to thank all the people who were involved in putting together the reunion. We know what a huge effort it took to make this reunion so great. We hope you had so much fun from the beginning till the end. Can't wait to see everyone again.
