the bayanihan project

The Bayanihan Project is an idea with a broad agenda, a volunteer program, an experience, a movement for peace and prosperity in the Philippines.  Through this truly unique Philippine tradition of mutual exchange, we can help make better lives, one family at a time, one community at a time.


The challenge in this century is to re-discover this tradition and by enlightening hearts and minds of men and women this generation, the bayanihan spirit shall be alive and relevant.


Brotherhood, Integrity, Loyalty, Equality and Service are the core values that will fuel our hope and guide this movement in facing the challenges that we continue to experience today as a people.


The project aims to be a humble contribution to the development and progress of the environmental, social, economic, civic and political structures in the Philippines.


With the bayanihan spirit in mind, we will strive to promote a deeper understanding of our culture, history and traditions.  We will achieve this through effective and efficient use of a combination among different tools of communication.


The Bayanihan Project is dedicated to inform, educate and inspire Filipinos.  We will continue to work hard and reach our potential, develop a greater sense of national pride, fulfillment and responsibility.


The Bayanihan Project will focus on these areas of discipline - arts and humanities; social sciences and public affairs; sciences and technologies, which we believe must be constantly addressed, are of equal importance and an integral part in building a nation.


The Bayanihan Project, its members individual initiative and its collective action in creating and or implementing viable environmental, social, economic, civic and political policies and programs remain essential for achieving a common vision of  a nation with a citizenry that is united, strong and working together towards sustainable democratic development.
