Batangas Action is now Philippine Action

We are retaining this blog, although it has been a while since we last posted.  We are cross-linked with multiply.com.  So when we used to post there, it turns up here, and in Facebook too.  But during the last two or more months, multiply has been "upgrading".  And the automatic "cross-posting' has not been working, so there has been no new posts.
 
We have signed up -batangascham and batangaschamber-  for both gmail.com and yahoo.com  extensions.  People keep inviting me and I ended up maintining three facebook accounts.  Soz, sorry for the invites to the other account... 3 is more than enough, I'd say.  

While we were registering Batangas Action for Corporate Social Responsibility with SEC, we attended a seminar in Manila.  Our counterpart "Executive Directors" from Laguna, Quezon, Cavite, Rizal and Baguio saw the paperwork - and so liked the idea - of involving employees of our member companies in local social responsibility projects that they decided to join in.  The individual membership Fee is P250.00 per annum and they paid up readily.

You see, the membership base of the Chamber of Commerce is the Company and/or it's official representative only.  If he/she/they do not issue an official memo for their employees to participate in a project - then there will only be few attendees.  And understandably, he/she/they being CEOS/owners/presidents are always too busy to bother with memos for small-scale community projects.

As of this writing, we have already filed the application with SEC - for Philippine Action Group for Social Responsibility Inc.  The name evolved from "services and development" to "group for social responsibility".  We are still in the process of editing some points in the Articles/By-laws from the comments of the Monitoring and Evaluation Department.

So, we will be posting about our next projects - and we hope to see more of you, Batanguenos - whether you are in a Resort in Nasugbu, in one of the towns to get to the far reaches of San Juan,  a farm in Lipa somewhere, or working in one of our Industrial Estates.  The time to act is now.   Join the philippineaction group.
