Palaui residents enjoyed a filling meal through the soup kitchen that TPB organized
The CSR program commenced with the distribution of 260 school kits, allowing the students of Palaui Integrated School and PAG-ASACA School to get new school supplies, raincoats, bucket hats, and slippers. The organization also organized a soup kitchen for the children, giving the students a chance to have a hearty meal consisting of chicken soup, boiled eggs, pancit canton, fried chicken, and orange juice.
Aside from helping the youth, the TPB uplifted the local tourism industry of Palaui Island by providing 52 roof covers for tourist boats upon learning that tarpaulins, old towels, or blankets are being used as makeshift roofs, especially after Typhoon “Goring” hit the community and destroyed several roof covers. In addition, 52 heavy-duty solar lamps were distributed for the boatmen to properly fish during their nighttime deployments; and tote bags containing dri-fit long-sleeved shirts, bucket hats, and slippers were given to the local members of the Palaui-San Vicente Tourist Motor Boat Association and the Sta. Ana Motorized Boat Association.

“It is important that, as an organization, TPB employees and its management are exposed to programs that serve the communities we promote as tourism destinations. Empathy is of utmost importance in public service, and we are proud that TPB embraces this value with authenticity and commitment. We look forward to supporting more communities and help them thrive to become recognized destinations of choice in the future,” shared TPB COO Margarita Montemayor Nograles.

TPB’s CSR program is held at least once a year, in pursuit of green and sustainable tourism, as well as providing support to communities all over the Philippines to become stronger tourism destinations. The program also provides assistance to various tourism-related entities to ensure stable livelihood for locals while preserving culture and heritage.
