Thousands of children around the Philippines walk the streets everyday – poor, hungry, homeless or abandoned. They are very fortunate to have organizations like the Springboard Foundation who are dedicated to improving the lives of children living in poverty in the Philippines.

It gives me great pleasure to send my greetings to the Springboard Foundation.  It is wonderful to see the synergy of generous individuals and companies from many nations helping thousands of abandoned and abused children by sacrificing their time and energy.

I much admire your work and wish you well in taking your projects forward. All good luck to you and to your sponsors and donors in this encouraging work for the fulfillment of the future Philippine generation.

The Springboard Foundation’s attempts to raise funds for various orphanages, daycare centres and charities throughout the Philippines is truly commendable.  I would like to assure you that I am very supportive of your efforts in promoting a healthy and nurturing environment for our less fortunate women and children.  With all good wishes to you and our country.
