below's a writeup provided by pj bernardo ('97, ka-batch ko). to the left is the school's logo (which i designed agessss ago and have completely forgotten about)—The Sibol-Hesus Foundation, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit Philippine corporation established in 1997 for the purpose of providing educational opportunities for poor yet deserving high school students. The Foundation is the brainchild of Dr. Onofre R. Pagsanghan, and counts, among its Board of Directors, noted educators such as Roberto Guevara, Henry Totanes, and Sylvia Pagsanghan, as well as lawyer Carlos Lopez and pediatrician, Jojo Mendoza.
Through the Sibol-Hesus Foundation, Inc., volunteer college students, mostly former alumni of Dulaang Sibol – Ateneo, provide free tutorial classes in various public high schools in Metro Manila, as well as conduct inter-school academic competitions in English and Mathematics. In recent years, the Foundation has also provided academic scholarships to the Ateneo University for deserving students from public schools.
Now on its 12th year, the Foundation looks to expanding its tutoring efforts to more public high schools, driven by the core realization spawn from Dr. Pagsanghan’s own experience: kung may pinag-aralan, may kinabukasan . . . kung maganda ang pinag-aralan, maganda ang kinabukasan. (An education opens doors to a bright future, and a good education opens doors to an even brighter future.)
