Support to enrich the lives of the local population

TSUNEISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES (CEBU), Inc. established TSUNEISHI FOUNDATION (CEBU), Inc. in 2010 so the region and companies could make combined efforts, aiming at a sustainable society. With financial contributions from seven Tsuneishi Group companies in the Philippines, the foundation promotes a diversity of support programs in the educational, medical, environmental preservation, and disaster relief fields.

Educational support

To provide the younger generation, who are Tsuneishi’s future, with the opportunity to attend school and have a high-quality learning environment.
In addition to fully supporting funding to establish the Balamban School of the University of San Jose-Recoletos, the Philippines’ leading university, we have established a scholarship system for local senior high school and college and university students. Help is also given to the renewal and maintenance of old or aging equipment in local primary and senior high schools.

Medical support

Support is offered to community medicine, which helps give local people healthy lives.
We are backing the establishment of the local Balamban Hospital and reconstruction of obstetrical facilities. Aside from expectant and nursing mothers, medical supplies are also provided free of cost in cases when many patients catch diseases endemic to the tropics, such as dengue fever, in certain regions.

Environmental preservation

Environmental preservation activities to pass on an abundant natural environment to the next generation are promoted.
Afforestation activities, mainly by volunteer employees, have been ongoing since 1996 in surrounding areas and mangrove forests. Up to now, about 19,500 mountain trees and 95,000 mangrove saplings have been planted.

Disaster relief

The “bayanihan spirit” or the spirit of mutual cooperation to help each other is embodied.
In the Philippines, which suffers from earthquakes and typhoons, victim support is an important role to be played by companies. We deliver food, drinking water, clothes, and other relief supplies to affected areas.
