The foundation becomes deeply aware that helping the abandoned, neglected and abused children cannot remain a charity work but it should be, if it will be sustainable and successful, a continuous community concern. Thus Batang Pinangga helps revive caring communities who would help care for the children, take them away from the streets, send them to school, provide for their needs, become their family.

And this means to revive and re-activate the Filipino cultural value of “bayanihan system”. Through this the Foundation hopes that at least the increase of the enormous number of abandoned, neglected and abused children will slow down and hopefully this will contribute to the eradication of this dehumanized and shameful aspect of Filipino community life.
