30 Years of Concrete CSR

For more than three decades, it has been the business sector's vehicle in delivering organized, professional, and sustainable assistance to the Filipino poor, particularly the landless farmers, fisher folk, rural workers, urban poor, and indigenous cultural communities. It has harnessed partnerships among the government, NGOs, civil society and donor institutions to expand the impact and relevance of its work on poverty alleviation.

Rising above traditional welfare approaches, PBSP promotes the philosophy of efficiency, self-help and participation in improving the quality of life of the underprivileged.

PBSP's guiding principle is "Helping People Help Themselves."
