CASE STUDY 1: APEC Schools
Ayala Corporation (AC) is one of the top companies in the Philippines. It has principal
business interests in real estate and hotels; financial services and insurance; telecommunications;
water distribution and wastewater services; electronics; automotive; business process
outsourcing; investments in international or overseas projects and ventures; power generation;
transport infrastructure; and recently in education. AC invests heavily in corporate social
responsibility (CSR). Through its Ayala Education, Inc., AC is committed to helping improve
the quality of education in the country, particularly in the public sector.
APEC Schools is a joint venture between Ayala Corporation and UK’s Pearson, through
the Pearson Affordable Learning Fund.
APEC Schools operates a chain of private high schools offering Grades 7 through 12.
The schools follow the Department of Education’s K to 12 curriculum, and all the branches have
permits to operate.
Their progressive teaching methods encourage active and collaborative learning. For
applicants of Grade 7, entrance tests are not implemented, only diagnostic assessments to
determine the specific development needs of each student.
The vision of APEC Schools is to transform thousands of Filipino lives by providing
high-quality private education that everyone can afford.
CASE STUDY 2: Alalay sa Pamilya at Bayan (APB) Foundation, Incorporated
APB was launched on June 16, 2010 and has reached more than 20,000 public school
students as of the end of 2014. It envisions the revival of the high moral and cultural values of
the Filipino for the common good by assisting schools and communities through its project
called CaCHET (Campaign for Character Education Tenacity). APB empowers public school
communities, youth, parents, and teachers through character formation, teaching them to become
God-fearing, productive, responsible, and self-reliant.
APB volunteers undergo an intensive formation to equip them to teach character
education and give catechism classes. Volunteers usually come from different professions
teachers, engineers, architects, accountants and even housewives. The plan of formation for
volunteers is well rounded-encompassing ethical formation, values and religious formation, and
professional formation (they undergo classes on preparation of lesson plans, actual teaching, and
child psychology). Each volunteer is mentored by a more seasoned volunteer-creating a team of
two volunteers-who in turn conduct the class and mentor the students. Mentoring entails talking
with a student on a one-on-one basis in order to follow-up the student’s personal struggle to live
the lessons given in class.
APB believes that character education is key to helping people see what is true, good and
beautiful in life despite hardships at home, in school, and elsewhere. Volunteers share their time
and talent, skills, and experience to teach children the basics of Christian living.
APB, along with three other NGO’s, are founded wholly or in cooperation with their
friends by the couple Mr. Walter Brown and Mrs. Annabelle Pizarro-Brown.
CASE STUDY 3: Soleq
Soleq is a builder, operator, and owner of solar power projects focusing on the Asian
market. It is focused on becoming Southeast Asia’s largest independent solar power producer.
Soleq currently owns and operates 70% of solar facilities totaling 91mw in Thailand. Soleq is
also the Philippine’s largest solar producer with about 193mw investment projects in Ilocos
Norte, Negros Occidental, and Bukidnonz. Soleg is the solar power arm pf Singapore-based
Equis Funds Group Pte Ltd, a leading private equity group focused on energy and infrastructure
in Asia.
CASE STUDY 4: Jun Cabochan and Pandayan Bookshop
Pandayan Bookshop evolved from the school and office supplies section of CVC
Supermarket, a Caloocan City supermarket founded in 1956. On July 5,1993, the first Pandayan
store began operating as a separate corporation. The main office of Pandayan Bookshop is at 700
Rizal Avenue Extension, Grace Park, Caloocan City. Pandayan stores are found in Metro
Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Rizal.
As a business experiment, Pandayan is an attempt to show that the business can be a
socioeconomic tool to bridge the gap between workers and owners, and thereby contribute to
national development. An innovative compensation program gives Pandayan associates a greater
share of the profits compared to most other businesses establishments. Incentives for employees
include empowerment and the pursuit of their dreams.

CASE STUDY 5: Gawad Kalinga (GK) Enchanted Farm
The GK Enchanted Farm is Gawad Kalinga’s platform to raise social entrepreneurs, help
local farmers, and create wealth in the countryside. As we learned that the road out of poverty is
a continuing journey and therefore, providing homes is merely the beginning, we also realized
that our country is abundant with resources (land included) that we can harness for every Filipino
to continuously lead a life with dignity.
What Filipino entrepreneurs need today, especially young and rising ones, is an
environment that will help bring their ideas to life and challenge them to aspire for the greatest
social impact. This means keeping connected to community and gaining access to good
mentoring, value-added networking, and basic facilities and resources. As a Village University,
classrooms are connected to communities, making it an ideal site for any university student.
Here, students will be exposed to how to start social enterprises and communities.
