These categories highlight the contributions of professionals and organizations across traditional and digital sectors

How a non-profit organization embodies ‘bayanihan’ one sustainable livelihood at a time.
Pure Bayanihan, a US-registered 501(c)3 nonprofit with a goal of creating one million livelihoods for people living in poverty, is proud to announce the official launch of its nationwide initiative aimed at alleviating poverty in the Philippines through sustainable livelihood programs. With a current poverty rate of 15.5%, down from 18.1% in 2021, the nation still faces significant challenges, with over 17.5 million people living below the poverty line. Limited access to quality education and stable employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas, has hindered many Filipinos from achieving economic stability.
Typhoon Kristine, along with past natural calamities, highlights the Philippines’ vulnerability due to its location in the typhoon belt and the Pacific Ring of Fire—this reality has fostered a strong sense of community and resilience among Filipinos. Inspired by this spirit, Pure Bayanihan made it their mission to tackle systemic barriers faced by communities by promoting skills development, entrepreneurial opportunities, and broader access to essential livelihood support. At the heart of its mission lies the Filipino spirit of “Bayanihan”—a powerful ethos of collaboration and unity that drives community-driven solutions such as community pantries, donation drives, and disaster relief efforts to support and rebuild affected communities.
“The fact is that some Filipinos are just one storm away from having nothing; they might also be one hand up away from getting out of nothing. Filipinos, with a little help, could make a big recovery from hardships and lift themselves up.” said Barry Harrigan, Chairman of Pure Bayanihan. “So, our effort has really been about perfecting the ways in which we could give them a hand up and put them on a good track, and that’s really what Pure Bayanihan is all about.”
Pure Bayanihan has made a significant impact since its founding, positively affecting 50 communities, 1,898 families, and 9,490 individuals across the Philippines. One of its standout programs empowers widows and single mothers through skills training, helping them establish small businesses and achieve financial independence.
The organization is also addressing pressing social and environmental issues. In Baseco, Manila, they’re turning waste into valuable products, combating both poverty and pollution. Meanwhile, in Iloilo, they’re supporting Kangkong farmers, boosting their income and contributing to regional food security.
Building on these successes, Pure Bayanihan plans to expand its reach further in the coming years. The organization is actively seeking partnerships with local governments, corporations, and international organizations to maximize its positive impact.
To further its mission, Pure Bayanihan has partnered with PRecious Communications Philippines, an award-winning multi-market integrated communications agency, to enhance outreach efforts.
Upcoming initiatives include traditional hilot healing skills training for indigenous communities in Tanay, Rizal; sugarcane juicing equipment for farmers in Ilocos Sur; and a washing machine vending business program for stay-at-home mothers in Navotas City. To support initiatives like these, you can get involved with Pure Bayanihan’s advocacies by visiting www.purebayanihan.org. With all administrative costs covered by their founders and sustaining supporters, 100% of the support they receive goes directly to the fight against poverty, making a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.

Highlighting luxurious beachfront condominiums for smart investment and retirement.
Landco Pacific Corporation successfully staged its second annual US Roadshow to cater to the evolving needs of Fil-Ams and US investors and retirees for their dream homes. Key activities included a kick-off event at Rosewood Hotel, Menlo Park, California, official opening of its office at the Philippine Center in San Francisco and forging of an international partnership with Susan Po-Rufino, Luxury Property Specialist of Coldwell Banker Realty. A series of other pocket events culminated in a well-attended final gathering at the Hilton Pasadena.
“It’s an honor to return to the U.S. for our second roadshow,” said Landco Pacific President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano. “We’re eager to help our kababayans realize their dream of owning beachfront homes — premium spaces that they can enjoy now and pass down the line as lasting legacies. With excellent rental income potential, these beach homes are not just dreams realized; they’re smart investments as well.”
Manzano shared that Landco Pacific’s US Roadshow this year features more options for Fil-Ams and US investors and retirees with its latest developments comprised of iconic beachfront condotels: The newly-launched The Nautilus at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach) and The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, San Juan, along with beachfront luxury condominium The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Nasugbu, Batangas.
These properties are smart investments, with The Nautilus and The Spinnaker offering excellent rental income potential from the tourist market.

Landco Pacific’s upscale properties inspire Fil-Ams and US citizens to invest in the Philippines, build their dream beach homes and create a community with shared interests and passions in the country’s seaside paradise. The developments are highly sought-after, given Landco Pacific’s track record of high-value appreciation with its legacy project of Punta Fuego in Batangas growing in value to about 1,000% since it was launched in the ’90s; and its desirable portfolio of prime residential and leisure properties in key cities across the country.
Renowned for pioneering premium landscapes for more than 30 years and with the financial strength as a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) with its chairman, Manuel V. Pangilinan, Landco Pacific received six awards for its commitment to excellence in development, design and sustainability, at the prestigious 12th Annual PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, a month before its US Road Show. Landco Pacific is hailed as a Highly-Commended Best Lifestyle Developer for its latest premium developments of Leisure Tourism Estates 15-hectare CaSoBe and 23-hectare Club Laiya in Batangas. Mr. Pangilinan, concurrent Chairman of Landco Pacific, was also honored as the 2024 Philippines Real Estate Personality of the Year.
The US Roadshow was spearheaded by Manzano together with Vice President for Commercial and Customer Experience Gerard Penaflor, Sales and Marketing Manager Charisse Santiano and Landco Pacific team.
