As part of the continuing efforts of the association to assist and meet its yearly goals in providing basic needs and financial support to the poor communities in the Province of Batangas, the Batangas Provincial Association of Canada (BPAC) through past initiatives accomplished significant financial support over the years to include building infrastructures assets such as home for the aged, school classrooms and other critical social undertakings.

For the last three years, the association reflected a new mandate to include medical needs and successfully put together a financial allocation in helping the Cancer Warrior Foundation of Batangas City celebrates Grand Christmas Parties for the critically-ill children under their care.
Last December, the Batangas-based Foundation was pleased to report that another well organized Christmas Party with a huge financial support from BPAC was held at the SM Batangas grand party hall. It started with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist officiated by Father Marcelino Junie Maralit followed by parlor games given by McDonald's. The children were served with McDonald's spaghetti and chicken meal and each child also received a Christmas Noche Buena package, a Christmas Ham and a 1 kilogram can of Nido Fortified Milk. They sent a message to thank the BPAC Governor, Jaime Marasigan, the BPAC Charity Committee Chair and the members of the Board of the Batangas Provincial Association of Canada for making the event possible. Ms. Vanessah Valle-Castillo, the organizing director of the foundation added that truly, the BPAC prestigious group “has the heart of recognizing the marginalized group such as theirs. And with their deepest gratitude for choosing as once again as the recipient of BPAC Charity”.
Since the BPAC organization was started, the association demonstrated ingenuity and dedication in raising charity money by sponsoring golf tournaments, initiating dinner and dance gathering and other fund raising campaigns. Last year, an scholarship program was also launched to assist a local HS graduate from a financially-challenged family with good marks to pursue a two-year trade course.
