The Apistar Foundation was founded on September 18, 2002, (20 years ago today) the purpose of the foundation is to provide scholarship assistance to underprivileged students in the Philippines. I hope to see these young people earn a degree and later make an impact in their profession, family life, and community. I believe that even the little contribution I make can spark hope for the people in the Philippines. I am one person who believes that the efforts of one can make a difference in another person's life.
The scholarship program has been implemented for twenty (20) years and had benefitted more than fifty-four (54) grantees. Many of the scholars of the Apistar Foundation are now practicing their chosen profession and are lucratively employed in different parts of the Philippines and abroad.
We also implemented development programs geared toward the promotion of sports, culture, and value education. We jointly sponsored local government units and sports associations in town and conducted sports competitions in soccer, football, basketball, and lawn tennis. We sponsored medical-dental missions and donated medical supplies, equipment, and surgical instruments to various local community hospitals and rural health centers. We donated computers, books, and school supplies to hundreds of school children and schools. We conducted Christmas parties and gift-giving for poor children and children with disabilities. We also conducted humanitarian aid to affected families of super-typhoon Haiyan(Yolanda) in Estancia, Iloilo, Philippines. We have gone to great lengths and self-sacrifices to accomplish our goals of educating and giving hope to impoverished people in our country and breaking up the cycle of poverty, so they may lift themselves with dignity...
