RVR Siklab Awards for young entreps sparks hope in 2023 comeback

Tweet

The Ramon V. del Rosario Siklab Awards or RVR Siklab Awards once again opens its nationwide search for young trailblazers who bring together sustainable entrepreneurship and nation-building efforts after a 3-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organized jointly by the PHINMA Group and De La Salle University RVR College of Business, the RVR Siklab Awards aims to recognize youth entrepreneurs aged 25 to 40 years old who demonstrates exceptional leadership in their respective fields through organizing and managing sustainable businesses, social enterprises, or self-initiated programs that uplift the lives of others.

To formally launch this year’s call for nominations, the youth leadership award had a kick-off event attended by youth organizations, foundations, and enterprise groups on Saturday, March 18 at Acceler8 Legazpi, Paseo de Roxas, Makati.

Representatives from mission-driven organizations gather at the RVR Siklab Awards kick-off event on March 18 to amplify the 2023 call for nomination.

“The youth has and will always be a key component in building the foundations for a better future. If we want genuine social change to happen, the private sector should not proceed with business as usual. Businesses should empower, lead, and transform the next generation into good leaders and nation builders our country needs,” said Ramon R. del Rosario, Jr., PHINMA Chairman and CEO and RVR Siklab Awards Board of Judges co-chair.

L-R: Engr. Karl Pacolor of DTI, Gary Ayuste and JB Tan from the first batch of Siklab awardees talked about the vital role of the youth in introducing positive change.

The 2023 Siklab search committee will recognize young and bright business leaders who pioneered positive change, exemplified exceptional leadership skills in their organization, maintained an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset, and embodied the ideals of the late Ambassador and PHINMA founder Ramon V. del Rosario (RVR): a leader, entrepreneur, and nation-builder at a critical time in Philippine history. He was an icon in both business and the diplomatic service, having served as the first Filipino General Manager of IBM Philippines, the first Filipino Executive Vice-President of Philam Life, and ambassador to Canada, Germany, and Japan.

Dr. Aris Alip, a Ramon V. del Rosario Award for Nation Building recipient, talked about his work in poverty eradication and the humble beginnings of CARD MRI, a group of institutions with the common goal of uplifting the lives of Filipinos.

The RVR Siklab Awards was launched in 2018 as part of the PHINMA Group's 60 years of making lives better celebration and to mark RVR’s 100th birth anniversary. It has recognized five exceptional individuals as its inaugural batch of awardees in 2019: JB Tan, co-founder of iVolunteer and The Good Store PH; Clarissa Delgado, co-founder and CEO of Teach for the Philippines; Edgar Elago, founder of Project Scholar, Project ADAMMS (Adopt a Mamanwa, a Manobo student), and Cooltura Couture; Gary Ayuste, founder of BEEngo Farm; and Melissa Yap, founder and executive director of Got Heart Foundation.

“This year, we hope to expand our search and connect with potential partners to be able to provide a wider platform for young entrepreneurs who have made a lasting impact in their own communities. PHINMA, in line with our business as a force of good advocacy, will continue to recognize the passion, dedication, and energy of our youth in working towards a better future for our country through the Siklab Awards,” said Peter Perfecto, PHINMA Vice President for Public Affairs and Siklab selection committee member.

De La Salle Dasmariñas celebrates Lasallian Mission Jubilee Year 2019 with different activities anchored among international students with different culture held on February 11 -16, 2019 at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, Dasmariñas, Cavite City. 

De La Salle University-Dasmariñas is an institution guided by the values of faith, zeal for service and communion in the mission which is part and parcel of the Lasallian brand of education throughout the world.

The University takes the cudgels in promoting and supporting various advocacies that play an important role in addressing issues being faced by the community and society by encouraging students to become active agents of positive change.

DLSU-D believes that education should not end within the four corners of the classroom and instead, extend beyond the academics for learners to understand their role in their families, communities, their localities, and their country

DLSU-D Lasallian Mission Jubilee Year Celebration 2019 Activities :

1. Heart Matters

A lay forum on heart attack focused on developing a fit heart minute habit for high-risk people.

2. "I am bigger and stronger than my bullies."

Anti-Bullying Seminar, February 14, 2019 held at De La Salle Villarosa Convention Hall.

An anti-bullying seminar aimed at building students' capabilities in dealing with bullying at school and in other situations.

3. International Music Festival

A music fest featuring international students studying at DLSMHSI. They played music from their countries as a celebration of cultural diversity. 

4. "Diversity is beautiful"

An on-the-spot t-shirt design contest for DLSMHSI students anchored on the theme.

"Diversity is beautiful" aimed toward raising awareness on the need for tolerance in our communities for differences among us.

5. International Food Festival

This International Food Festival is a gastronomic feast for those who have diverse palates! The international students cooked and presented their favorite dishes from their own country so that their friends and fellow students can enjoy their favorites too.

6. Lasalyanong Rehabilitasyon

A special activity during that week, we witnessed Lasalyanong Rehabilitasyon (TheraFree) last February 15, 2019 by College of Rehabilitation Sciences. 

DLSMHSI CRS is a strong advocate for the empowerment and quality of life of Persons with Disabilities especially the children and integrates it in its student and faculty development programs. It hones the members of its academic community (e.g. faculty, staff and students) to community service as part of its educational and training so as to help aid the Philippine society in bridging the gap between the needed rehabilitation services at the community level and the rendering of quality care and consultancy by qualified rehabilitation services professionals (e.g. Physiatrists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Pathologists).

It is the pioneering College that opened the first Early Intervention Outreach Facility in the Philippines (DJPRES, 2014) for Children with Disabilities where a partnership model between a tertiary level education institution (De La Salle Medical and HSI) and public education elementary school works together to address the gap in rehabilitation services for the poor children with disabilities in the Philippines.

It also embraces service to the community by rendering free wheelchair assessment and prescription to indigent members of the community where free wheelchairs are issued through the sponsorship of Latter Day Saints Charities (LDSC). It boasts of 4 out of 5 (in the Philippines) Advance Wheelchair Specialists certification of its faculty and intermediate and basic certification as wheelchair clinicians of almost all of its faculty members.

De La Salle University Dasmariñas has institutionalized efforts to live out its vocation to serve. With programs and activities targeted towards promoting social consciousness, DLSU-D encourages students, faculty and staff to work together to bring about the meaningful impact to the world we live in.

James Hardie helps Yolanda survivors rebuild communities

Tweet

Alongside its mission of providing building products to build better and more durable houses for Filipino families; James Hardie, the world leader in fiber cement technology, is likewise a responsible corporate partner of Filipinos in building a better, more durable future.

The carpentry workshop organized DLSP and conducted by James Hardie Philippines was attended by 32 carpenters from Dulag and Diit, Leyte. Engr. Wilfredo Abella and Gina Anacta from DLSP, and Roland Badilla and Renato Zagada from James Hardie were present during the workshop.

This was made manifest when James Hardie partnered with De La Salle Philippines (DLSP) to help rebuild schools in the Yolanda-ravaged areas of Leyte and Samar, providing safer and more weather-resistant classrooms for students in schools adopted by DLSP.

This remarkable collaboration saw James Hardie and DLSP conducting a basic carpentry workshop last January wherein survivors were taught how to rebuild classrooms and eventually make a living out of their newly acquired skills. This also gave them the knowledge to construct their own homes which were severely damaged by Yolanda.

James Hardie Philippines, in partnership with De La Salle Philippines, conducted a HardieFlex carpentry workshop in Dulag, Leyte.

The workshop, called “Rebuilding the Future,” drew enthusiastic participants who learned basic carpentry skills such as HardieFlex ceilings and walls installation.

“The basic carpentry workshops were activities we felt passionate about,” says James Hardie Country Manager Mark Sergio, who believes that teaching the survivors how to be self-sufficient in rebuilding their communities will show them how to live without compromise.

“Aside from providing sturdier classrooms to the community, James Hardie and De La Salle Philippines thought that having carpentry workshops would help the survivors build livelihoods from the new skills they’ve acquired.” says DLSP President Br. Jose Mari Jimenez. “We want to help ease the painful memories caused by Yolanda.”

Jimenez also added that they chose communities that greatly need help and where members are eager to learn, willing to strive hard and be one in the rebuilding efforts.

Thirty-two carpenters from Dulag and Diit, Leyte attended the carpentry workshop focusing on actual hands-on installation of HardieFlex fiber cement boards on timber and steel framing.

“DLSP adopted these communities because they needed immediate assistance,” Sergio said. “We volunteered because we wanted to provide them with the right tools to start anew and help some community members find some purpose after an unfortunate experience.”

Response to the basic carpentry workshop was overwhelming. Even neighboring communities joined the workshop as they listened intently to the lectures and learned hands-on carpentry techniques.

“It is heartwarming to see how their confidence was restored by doing something functional and meaningful,” says Kgd. Corazon Canales. “Though it’s really difficult to restore everything, it is safe to say that this is a huge start for us.”
