ISLANDS SOUVENIRS

Conceptualized during the early 1990’s as a result of its founder Jay Aldeguer’s various travels to Europe and around the Philippine Islands, Islands Souvenirs offers the best locally-made pasalubong and souvenir items to both foreign and Filipino travelers and tourists.

With an initial capital of P200,000 and  a P1,500 worth-Bamboo cart, Aldeguer began selling souvenir t-shirts and items in Cebu. Since then, Islands Souvenirs has expanded its chain of stores and items not only throughout the entire archipelago but across the whole world, as well. At present, Islands Souvenir is the Philippines’ most awarded and leading souvenir shop. From a souvenir shop, the Islands Souvenirs now ventures in offering adventure tourism, media, events, design and merchandise development.

Aside from doing business via tourism merchandise and services, Islands Souvenirs fulfills its corporate social responsibility to the consuming public by participating in various social and charitable initiatives such as tree-planting activities, scuba clean-up drives, environmental campaigns and raising funds and money for the preservation and protection of the country’s natural sanctuaries.

Pangarap Foundation: Building Dreams for Street Children

Founded in 1989 as Pangarap Shelter for Street Children by the Sons of Mary, Ina-Anak, Inc. and the Ladies of Charity of Pasay, the Pangarap Foundation, Inc. has been involved in social development work by trying to create a positive future for street children and their families.

The Pangarap Foundation has been offering a Gospel-based and integrated ministry to respond to the special protection needs of street children and their families. It currently has three kinds of services to street children. The first is the Caring Services which provides food, shelter, clothing, legal and medical services. The second is the Healing Services which offers spiritual, psychological and emotional counseling and intervention. And the third is the Teaching Services which gives street children both formal and non-formal education such as vocational/technical training, values formation and education and recreational activities.

Aside from these services, Pangarap Foundation also implements the following concrete social programs to uplift the conditions and lives of street children: Street Education Program, Recovery Center, Residential Center and Community Outreach Program and After Care. All of these programs are designed to complement the social services being offered by the Foundation.

With the help of its staff and volunteers such as social workers, housewives, teachers, street educators, physicians, psychologists and religious brothers and sisters, Pangarap Foundation is fulfilling its vision and mission of restoring street children and their families to health of body, mind and spirit and to accompany them in their journey towards God’s children.
