Who we are…

The Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc. was established on 17 December 1980 as the corporate social arm of Benguet

Corporation. Originally called the BenguetCorp Foundation, its creation was inspired by the late Jaime V. Ongpin,

the company’s first Filipino president, who envisioned the development of self-reliant communities in the areas where it operated.

A pioneer in the mining industry in the Philippines, Benguet Corporation operated the largest gold mines until the 1980s and

the largest chromite mine in the country. Mr. Ongpin joined Benguet Corporation in 1962 and became President in 1974. He is credited for introducing corporate social responsibility as a major concern of top management down to the ranks. This was

later institutionalized when he formed the Foundation in 1980.The Foundation was initially tasked to attend to the needs of

dependents of company employees which were not directly related to Benguet Corporation's business but nonetheless equally important to maintaining a productive workforce. The Foundation’s mandate later extended to the neighboring

communities to enable them to transform into self-reliant communities that continue to thrive when the company’s mines

cease to operate.

Mr. Ongpin eventually joined the cabinet of President Corazon Aquino in 1986 as the Minister of Finance. He later returned

to private life and a few months after his death in 1987, BenguetCorp Foundation was renamed Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation,

Inc. in his honor.

JVOFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is a certified

donee institution until 2017 by the Philippine Council for NGO Certification and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The Foundation works in partnership with local and foreign donors, business, government agencies, other NGOs and people’s

organizations in pursuing development programs within its target communities.

The Foundation adopts a Strategic Area Management Approach with a well-defined geographic focus. Currently, the Foundation implements the following core programs in Northern Luzon:

- Enterprise Development Promote the enhancement of income generating or livelihood projects through microfinance, technical assistance and

institutional development.

- Ecological Enhancement

Message from

the Chairman and the President

Since our inception, we have relentlessly pursued our vision to develop sustainable communities through our programs and partnerships. For the past year, we are proud to report that we have again reached several milestones. Ecological Enhancement. With the continued support of our donors, we were able to implement the final year of the “Saving the Benguet Watersheds for Water”, a two-year project funded by the European Union under their Strategic Projects Facility and the Peace and Equity Foundation. We made significant strides towards demonstrating that the management of communal watersheds can be effectively devolved from the national government to local government units. Key to these are community participation in coming up with the forest management plans, linking up the basic need for water to protection of watersheds and, putting in place the required institutional arrangements to ensure the sustainability of the project. We credit the smooth implementation of the project to our presence on the ground and our collaboration with Benguet Province, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the National Commission of Indigenous Peoples, Benguet State University, and the Cordillera Network of Development NGOs and POs. We completed the implementation of the “Replicating LaTop’s Success through Capacity Building and Alternative Tourism” in November 2012. Funded by the Philippines-Australia Community Assistance Program, the project aimed to convert those engaged in chemical or conventional farming to organic farming using ecotourism as a strategy. Since 2009, JVOFI has advocated organic farming as a strategy to address environmental degradation, declining incomes from agriculture, and the resulting migration to urban areas and abroad. The project supported ten (10) organic farmers whose farms were developed as ecotourism destinations. At project close in March 2013, the farms recorded a total of 2,670 visitors. In addition, 601 conventional farmers were trained on organic farming technology. The organic farms are now considered as on-site training & demonstration centers of the Department of Agriculture. Recognizing that disasters can significantly set back development gains, JVOFI partnered with the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2012 for the project entitled “Capacity Building Support to the Government of the Philippines on Disaster Preparedness and Response”. Benguet is considered the second most disaster prone province due to its vulnerability to landslides. The project covered the fourth and fifth class municipalities of Tublay, Atok, Kibungan and Kapangan. Its goal was to develop communities resilient to disasters. Through WFP, these municipalities and their 38 barangays or villages were assisted in preparing their Disaster Preparedness & Response Plans, Contingency plans, and in organizing their Community Emergency Response Teams. Enterprise Development. We continue to be committed to providing affordable access to credit, savings and insurance services to enterprising poor women in our target areas and to ensuring that our services are compliant with the law. Last year, the Foundation registered with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) as a Credit Granting Entity in line with BSP Circular 755 on the implementation of Republic Act no. 3765 or, the “Truth in Lending Act”. Thus beginning January 2013, Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc. (JVOFI) implemented the interest computation based on declining loan balance and the required disclosures to our borrowers to ensure transparent pricing as part of the effort to lower further the interest rates we have to charge.

5

Also within the year, JVOFI partnered with Country Bankers for microinsurance services to our clients to reduce their vulnerability to risks due to death and sickness. On its initial year thirty two (32), or 1.6% of our clients, availed of microinsurance benefits which encouraged more clients to obtain optional health insurance coverage. Borrowers were automatically covered with life insurance at no additional cost to them. During the Board’s project visit in January 2013, we heard firsthand how our microfinance program helped the women in their livelihood activities and how they used their income for their children’s education, for meeting their household needs & growing their small businesses. Special Projects. Engaging in Special Projects enables the Foundation to share its experience and expertise to new areas and partners while honing our internal capability and generating additional resources for us to fulfill our mandate. In 2012, the CHATON (Capacity building and Harnessing Animal gifts to Transform lives and Nurture the Environment) project funded by Heifer Philippines, Inc. was completed. A total of 100 families in Tadian, Mt. Province, plus an additional 99 pass-on families benefited from livestock dispersal and planting materials that will enable them to improve their livelihood and nutritional status. The project was implemented through Community Animal Health Workers and self-help groups that are envisioned to sustain the project and expand it to more families in need. We experienced phenomenal growth in our partnership with PMFTC Inc. The coop organizing and reforestation project which started in 2008 was extended to seven (7) communities in Ilocos Sur, La Union and Mindoro Occidental. The project entailed organizing tobacco farmers and enabling them to establish at least five hectares each of communal fuelwood or bamboo plantations on idle lands. This was in line with the company’s goal to be carbon-neutral or to replace the timber and bamboo it consumes in the course of its business. The project was a Bronze winner of the Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year in Asia, Australia and New Zealand given by The International Business Awards. During the year, we were tapped by PMFTC to implement the company’s other charitable and non-charitable contributions program. One of these is the Community Management Fund which supports environmental, health and disaster response projects in areas where the company operates, namely: Ilocos Sur, Mindoro Occidental, Marikina City and Subic, Zambales. Also, during the year, we were engaged by PMFTC to design and implement an anti-child labor program. For this project, we decided to partner with Child and Family Service Philippines, Inc. which was tasked to undertake the strengthening of Barangay councils for the protection of children, develop programs to enrich family-life activities, life skills training for the youth, and advocacy while JVOFI shall focus on the education and livelihood components of the project. We also implemented with PMFTC Inc. several short-term projects to support the Company's thrust to protect the environment and eradicate child labor in its tobacco growing areas. Outlook. As we start a new fiscal year, we look back to our modest beginnings and acknowledge with gratitude and honor our various partners in government, business and civil society for helping us respond to the ever evolving needs of marginalized communities. In return, we at the Foundation strive to maintain administrative efficiency. For every peso in grants we received in the last fiscal year, less than eight centavos (or 8%) went to overhead expenses. This was much less than the thirty centavos, or 30%, administrative cost required by the Securities & Exchange Commission of non-profit organizations and the 20% required by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. In closing, we know we speak for the Board and staff in thanking Ma. Isabel G. Ongpin, our Chairperson since 2006 for her everlasting commitment to the vision and mission of the Foundation. Under her leadership, we at the Foundation have achieved significant milestones which can only further inspire us to continue trying to make a difference in the marginalized communities we serve. As we embark on the next year, we look forward to new projects in the offing and to hand over those due for completion to our donors and partners as well as our beneficiaries.

With the continuing confidence of our donors and partners, together with the unwavering commitment of our Board and staff, we can look back with pride to a past that glows with achievements but with the realization that the work is never done so long as there are communities and people out there who need our help.

Capacity Building Support to the Government of the Philippines

on Disaster Preparedness and Response

Background:

Taking into account the negative impacts of the natural hazards and disaster that affect the Benguet Province, the Provincial and local government units have developed strategies to avert its negative effects in their respective areas. Despite these initiatives, there is still lack of a systematic approach & practice to strengthen the disaster management capacity of the Province. The geo-hazard assessment of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Natural Resources (MGB-DENR) in the Cordilleras indicated that the Province of Benguet is among the top 10 provinces that has the most number of areas highly susceptible to landslides.

Project Sites:

Our PROGRAMS

Understanding Community Needs Enterprise Development Enterprise Development focuses on JVOFI's goal on productivity which is to assist impoverished households

improve their incomes. JVOFI extends Microfinance services, namely small loans, savings and microinsurance

to enterprising poor women in Baguio City, Benguet and La Union.

Previously, JVOFI used the Loan Protection and Capacity Building Fund (formerly called the Damayan Fund) to cover the unpaid

balances of borrowers who died during the term of their loans. This Fund was pre-deducted from the principal loan of a client. Last

2010, the Insurance Commission (IC), Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC)

issued a joint memorandum that all entities engaged in unauthorized insurance or insurance - like activities shall terminate their

informal insurance activities. JVOFI complied with the Joint IC-CDA-SEC Memorandum Circular No.01-2010 and partnered with

Country Bankers Life Insurance Corporation beginning July 2012.

The Microinsurance has the following features:

> Credit Group Life (CGL) Micro-loan ensures the protection of the principal borrowers and offers assistance in case of fatality as long

as it is within the term of their loans.

> CB Kalinga, a life insurance with a premium amounting to P280 per year, covers the principal contributor and his/her family

members. As of June 2013, JVOFI enrolled a total of 953 clients. The benefits are as follows:

a. Daily Confinement Benefit (Hospitalization)

b. Death benefits

The Microfinance Program was launched in 2001. To date, there are 9

municipalities being assisted by JVOFI through this project.

Jenny O. Gutierrez, a mother of three children, became a member of JVOFI’s Microfinance Program in 2007. At that time, she earned

P428-P714 a day selling beauty products. Starting with an initial loan of P5,000, she became an active borrower able to sustain her good repayment performance.

She was given a change to attend the cosmetology training that Splash Foundation conducted for JVOFI’s clients. Aside from selling beauty products she included home services applying what she had learned from the training to her friends and neighbors.

In 2012, she and her husband decided to put up their own beauty parlor to better accommodate their increasing customers. She and her husband worked as the stylists or beauticians.

The Progress Out of Poverty Index (PPI), a tool for tracking the status of clients, revealed that her family has risen from the poor level.

The latest loan she availed was Php35,000 and their business can generate an estimated income of P1,000-5,000 daily – more than twice their earnings before. They now have three employees and can provide the needs of their family.
