MANILA, Philippines — Today marks the 35th anniversary of Aboitiz Foundation’s work in co-creating resilient, empowered and sustainable communities.

The Foundation optimizes the synergies of Aboitiz business units and its partners nationwide to create more value for its beneficiaries, its communities and the environment.

With investments totaling more than P5 billion, Aboitiz Foundation has partnered with some 600,000 individuals and institutional partners and implemented over 5,000 corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects.
