Corporate Social Responsibility

Tree Planting Activity

The rampant illegal logging and deforestation have become pressing issues today because of their severe environmental effects. As a result, this has also harmfully affected the society living within the forest and its neighboring regions. That is because these communities lost one of their living resources and their natural barrier against natural disasters.

Thus, IPASS Processing organized a purposeful Tree Planting Activity to help our mother nature. Together with IPASS Cares, IPASS Processing Online Review and Mentoring Program, and San Pedro College, IPASS Processing gathered various employees to partake in the Tree Planting Activity. So, on March 9, 2024, from 7:00 am to 12:00 noon, all participants and sponsors traveled to Eden Watershed at Toril, Davao City, and traversed its mountains to plant different varieties of tree seedlings.

This particular activity aims to foster growth and sustainability. With every tree planted, we are cultivating a greener future together!

International Childhood Cancer Day

In celebration of International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD), the Philippine Nursing Students Association (PNSA) of Polytechnic College of Davao del Sur (PCDS) made a thoughtful and meaningful initiative for the children valiantly battling cancer residing in the House of Hope Foundation.

The PCDS-PNSA conducted the purpose-driven Zumba for a Cause last February 26, 2024, from 6:00 am to 9:00 am PST. Several students, clinical instructors, sponsors, and participants flooded the Rizal Park at Digos City to enjoy a meaningful morning of exercising, dancing, grooving, and delight headed by the fantastic instructor, Mr. Chalres Palero.

After the successful fundraising event, the Philippine Nursing Students Association (PNSA) visited the children from the House of Hope Foundation beside the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) on March 1, 2024. A heartwarming party ensued, during which the children received thoughtful gifts and interactive activities. In return, the genuine happiness and pleasant waves of laughter from the brave cancer-stricken children made the Zumba for a Cause truly a successful event.

Juana and Juan for Strong Environment

On March 9, 2024, several communities assembled for a powerful display of unity and shared purpose. Organizations across sectors joined forces for a “plogging” event in San Fernando, La Union. Plogging combines picking up litter with jogging – promoting a clean environment and healthy living.

Members from the DOERs organization, IPASS Processing, Bureau of Jail Management, Coast Guard, and Bureau of Fire Protection laced up their shoes. From Brgy. Pias to Brgy. Bacsil, this dedicated team of uniformed personnel, non-government, and volunteers hit the streets on a mission to keep the city clean while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

The event highlighted the profound impact of small acts when we all contribute. Moreover, IPASS Processing donated signages and supplies that will be posted on the coastlines and shores of La Union.

As they pounded the pavement collecting litter, this group embodied a simple yet powerful truth: We all have a shared responsibility to protect our mother nature – our only home. This joint action inspired others to make the world a better place, one step at a time.

House of Hope Foundation

The House of Hope Foundation is an exceptional sanctuary for children courageously battling cancer. On December 19, 2023, the foundation was filled with joy and excitement thanks to Sir Jay Padong, who brought representatives from IPASS Online Review and Mentoring Academy and IPASS Management. This event marked a significant milestone—the academy’s first corporate social responsibility visit, driven by IPASS’s guiding philosophy of “Where Heart Meets Service.”

For every NCLEX passer produced, a portion of enrollment fees funded this activity – a testament to their collective effort. IPASS coordinators sent heartfelt messages, reassuring the children they aren’t alone in their battles. The children’s infectious laughter filled the room as the volunteers engaged them in games and activities. Moreover, everyone carried the unforgettable imprint of the children’s smiles and resilience as they departed. It wasn’t just about gifts; it was sharing hope, forging connections, and reminding all that small kindnesses make a difference.

This milestone solidified IPASS’ commitment to social responsibility, profoundly impacting the lives of the courageous children. As we eagerly look forward to future initiatives, the spirit of compassion and the power of collective action continue to illuminate our path, reminding us of the profound difference we can make in the lives of others.

Eyeglasses Donation in Brgy. Tanuman

More than a hundred individuals of Brgy. Tanuman, Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental, were the beneficiaries of IPASS Processing’s eyeglasses donation as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. In collaboration with Dr. Castro and Dr. Pimentel, the barangay, and sponsors, the offering of eyeglasses, eye examinations, and prescription eyeglasses to Brgy. Tanuman residents were made possible.

The program intends to enhance the beneficiaries’ vision as well as give them the confidence they need to actively engage in their everyday lives, including employment, school, and other responsibilities. IPASS Processing recognizes the importance of vision in daily life; thus, the company hopes that the activity will ultimately help the barangay’s socio-economic development.

Bagyong Paeng Relief Operation

On October 27, 2022, Bagyong Paeng brought heavy downpours to Lebak, Sultan Kudarat, causing flooding to multiple villages and the loss of many people’s homes in its wake. In light of the storm that severely impacted the residents in the affected areas, and to help them recuperate from the storm’s effects, IPASS Processing initiated a campaign to provide relief and support to those in need.

Several generous individuals from IPASS and IPASS Processing’s management have extended and accumulated supplies such as sacks of rice, food, water, and clothing. These donations were swiftly distributed to the residents of Lebak, alleviating their distress after the said adversity.

IPASS aims to improve the lives of individuals affected by the tropical cyclone; by offering our support and compassion, we exemplify the genuine meaning of corporate social responsibility.

IPASS Processing is committed to building a healthier, more sustainable community.
We can accomplish it by providing help, comfort, and hope in times of need.
