OUR VISION

We are being taught by the Indigenous People in the Philippines to join them as they journey towards their right to self determination.
We will support their view of their future and we will help preserve and nurture their respective Ancestral Domains.

We have learned to respect the dreams of their elders and we are enriched by listening to the visions of their young people.
We will walk with them towards their dream of a sustainable livelihood that respects their culture and dignity as a people.

We are seeing a lot of Indigenous People living on mountains higher than 500 meters above sea level who have existing coffee trees.
We will share a coffee processing technology that would meet the highest local and global standards at Fair Trade prices.

We are invited to look to the future when all the Indigenous People in this land are trading fairly in local and global markets.
We will assist in developing their entrepreneurial skills by introducing Fair Trade coffee farming and marketing.

 


 

OUR LOGO

The balanced composition of three triangles bound in a circle—which represents the half section of a coffee bean (our iconic product)—symbolizes our dreams and aspirations for the Philippines.

The half coffee bean is our beloved land.  Our islands are typically mountainous and diverse in terrain, rich in bounty and produce.  The three triangles represent the major island groupings—Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

We see our people as a mosaic—multicultural in nature, with rich and diverse ethno-linguistic characteristics.  We envision a land where all these different cultures are freely expressed.  We dream of a country where all these different people groups are treated equally as they live in harmony with one another.

We see the future of this beautiful land through the lenses of faith, hope, and love.  The multi-cultural people of the Philippines will mutually promote peace and prosperity so that the present and the next coming generations will live better lives and will ultimately realize its dream-image as The Pearl of the Orient Seas.
