Three Ayala Foundation programs earned recognition at the 2026 CSR Guild Awards from the League of Corporate Foundations, with one initiative taking home the Outstanding CSR Project in Disaster Resilience award and two others named category finalists amid a record number of nominations this year. The honor highlights the foundation’s long-running work to build stronger communities through education, arts and culture, and disaster resilience, as it marks its 65th anniversary.
The winning project, Brigadang Ayala Relief & Rehabilitation Operations, brought together skilled volunteers from across the Ayala Group to aid communities hit by the 2025 Cebu earthquake. Engineers, medical workers, logistics experts and other professionals joined efforts to deliver both immediate help and long-term recovery support, deploying 965 volunteers who gave over 8,600 hours of service to nearly 5,900 households.
Its two recognized initiatives include CENTEX Digital Education – High Touch, High Tech, which blends adaptive digital learning with personalized teaching to address the country’s learning crisis; early results show participating public school students in Zambales doubled their math scores in just 12 weeks. The other finalist, Amorsolo: Chroma, offered interactive, accessible experiences around the works of National Artist Fernando Amorsolo, drawing over 21,000 in-person visitors and half a million online engagements in 2025.
Ayala Foundation president Tony Lambino shared the recognition with all partners, volunteers and participating communities, noting every achievement stems from shared effort across government, civil society and the private sector.
