History of Foundation's support to Sorsogon Province
Since 2020, the MJ Haboc Foundation has been a beacon of hope for underprivileged communities across the Bicol Region, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing over 6 million PHP from their personal life savings, the foundation has focused on aiding children’s education and healthcare without hesitation, showcasing an unwavering commitment to social responsibility and community welfare.
One of the cornerstone efforts of the MJ Haboc Foundation has been to enhance educational opportunities for underprivileged children. The foundation has provided significant grants to local schools, funding the construction of essential hand washing facilities and supplying classrooms with necessary materials. This initiative not only improved the hygiene standards crucial during the pandemic but also enriched the learning environment for countless students.
In a significant partnership with the Estenias Science Foundation School, the MJ Haboc Foundation has pledged to support 20 college scholars. This partnership covers the scholars' miscellaneous fees every semester until they complete their courses, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder their educational aspirations.
The foundation’s commitment extends to healthcare, where substantial resources have been allocated to support the medical needs of children in the region. By providing funding for health services, the MJ Haboc Foundation has played a critical role in improving the health and well-being of the community’s most vulnerable members.
Collaboration has been key to the foundation’s impactful outreach programs. In partnership with the Rotary Club of Manila Archangel Premier, the MJ Haboc Foundation has conducted numerous outreach activities in remote areas of Metro Manila and the Bicol Region. These programs have delivered much-needed support and services to some of the most deprived communities.
The local police station of Juban, Sorsogon, and the local government units have worked closely with the MJ Haboc Foundation, ensuring that aid reaches the most marginalized areas. This collaboration has strengthened community ties and facilitated effective distribution of resources.
