BES-HNS Foundation Inc, on their road towards perpetuity and sustainability

Written by Caila Austria on . Posted in Fellowship, Publications.

“Transitioning to the Youth towards Perpetuity and Sustainability” will be the Foundation’s theme from this year moving forward. Actions towards the achievement of this goal of Perpetuity and Sustainability were already taken. Beginning on the Pre-Planning and Team Building last July 30-31, 2022 at Tampay sa Sinagtala, Orani Bataan, the transitioning committee, composed of the Core Senior and Junior members, are continuously meeting, planning and strategizing about the Foundation’s future.

In line with this, a strategic meeting was held last October 15, 2022 at Jardin Solana Function Hall, Solana Casa Real, Bacolor, Pampanga through the sponsorship of Sis Lisa and Brod Primo Valerio. The meeting focused mostly on the Junior Members’ presentation of their deliberate plans and budgetary requirements for the proposed programs and activities this upcoming fiscal year. Some of the topics discussed are the initiative to conduct sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility projects, launch feasible Fundraising programs, and organize several Fellowship activities. The Junior Members’ plans, combined with the Senior Members’ experiences and expertise in handling the Foundation, gives the atmosphere of optimism regarding the Foundation’s succeeding years.

Brod Mars Morales also mentioned that by seeing the Juniors’ commitment and passion towards the foundation, it will not be impossible for the Senior Members to have a smooth transition of responsibilities and roles in the next three to five years.

After the formal meeting, the fellowship began. Both the junior and senior members talked, laughed, and bonded with each other during lunch. With different agenda, the senior and junior members parted ways after lunch. Naturally, the junior members did not miss the opportunity to travel and wander the beauty of Bacolor, Pampanga. They went to the historical San Guillermo Parish Church, known for its half-buried structure which is the result of the lahar mudflows during the 90s. The senior members, on the other hand, went to Randy Valerio’s Goat Dairy Farm where they were served with different food products with Goat’s milk as its main ingredient.

The day ended with everyone feeling hopeful and confident that the road towards perpetuity and sustainability is within the Foundation’s grasp. Certainly, the Senior members believe that the Juniors are capable of sustaining the Foundation’s legacy and the Juniors, at the same time, believe that what the Senior members have established are worthy of perpetual existence. As Theodore Roosevelt has said, “Believe you can, and you are halfway there”, indeed, the BES-HNS Foundation Inc. is already more than halfway towards its goal.

Last September 07, 2022, the BES-HNS Foundation Inc. went to Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) -Sta. Mesa, Manila to launch the foundation’s first-ever batch of Engineering students Scholars. The PUP College of Engineering BES-HNS Honors Society will initially have a total of 27 pioneer members composed of 9 academic scholars each from BS Civil Engineering, BS Mechanical Engineering, and BS Electrical Engineering.  

The meeting was attended by the Foundation’s core members headed by the Chairman Emeritus Brod Mars Morales, Chairman Brod Philip Judan, and President and Vice Chairman Brod Lambert Tagayuna. PUP was represented by Professor Tomas Testor, PUP’s Vice President for Student Affairs and Services, and Dr. Remedios Ado, PUP College of Engineering’s Dean. To formally introduce the Foundation to the new members, Brod Mario Quinsaat, BHFI’s Executive Director, discussed the Foundation’s brief history of how they maintain their motto: Semper Premium, Always First by ensuring that every new member has the capacity to excel in their chosen fields, hence establishing Honors Societies in universities with great track records in the field of Accountancy, and now, in the field of Engineering as well. Brod Mario also discussed the assistance and scholarship grants being given by the Foundation to its scholars. He also mentioned that the Foundation’s support extends way beyond the financial needs of their members, encompassing other relevant works such as social and community programs, emotional and spiritual workshops and activities, and professional trainings and development programs. 

Brod Mark Alcazar and Sis Caila Austria, PUP BES-HNS Honors’ Society Presidents for Academic Years 2020-2022, then discussed the Honors Society’s achievements, projects and programs during their terms and shared how the Foundation has contributed to their personal and professional growths. After discussing the Foundation and the PUP BES-HNS Honors Society’s background, Brod Mars Morales then mentioned the Foundation’s future plans which involves several Corporate Partnerships that will be beneficial to their scholars. 

Following the Foundation’s discussion, lunch was served. It was made even more joyful by a raffle, sponsored by Brod Oscar Jornacion where 24 attendees were granted Php 1,000 each. The meeting ended with the new members expressing their gratitude and excitement towards being part of the BES-HNS Honors Society. The newly recruited scholar from College of Engineering, Sis Reianalaine Dublin, said “it was an honor and privilege to be part of this remarkable organization”.  

The Foundation and PUP will continue to work together to ensure that their partnerships will be productive and will contribute to the Foundation’s achievement of its motto. The date for the official launch of the Foundation’s scholarship program to the PUP College of Engineering is still yet to be announced. In the meantime, the already established PUP BES-HNS Honors Society in the College of Accountancy is welcoming and connecting with their new Brods and Sisters from the College of Engineering.
