GOKONGWEI BROTHERS FOUNDATION (GBF)

Built on the conviction that education is one of the keys to a better future for the
country, the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation (GBF) was set up in 1992 to help uplift the
socio-economic condition of the Filipinos through the funding of educational projects.
GBF has donated facilities and scholarships to various schools, and supported
educational programs of different institutions such as: Immaculate Concepcion
Academy, Xavier School, De La Salle University, the University of Asia and the Pacific
and the University of San Carlos. A significant endowment by the foundation to the
Ateneo de Manila University led to the John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM),
a regional center for management education. To further strengthen the field of
engineering in our country, GBF gave a significant endowment to the De La Salle
University (DLSU), which led to the establishment of the DLSU Gokongwei College of
Engineering.
In addition, GBF partnered with the Aklat, Gabay, Aruga tungo sa Pag-Angat at Pag-Asa
(AGAPP) Foundation, to build schoolhouses in underprivileged public school compounds.
The foundation also donated its prime lot in Ortigas for the EDSA Shrine.
GBF's other endeavors include a Technical Training Center for skilled graduates in
various engineering fields. In 2007 and 2009, GBF granted more than 70 young Filipinos
with 10-month scholarships to study the language, dynamics and booming economy of
China. These scholars spent several months studying in prestigious universities in
China, in the hopes of strengthening the Philippines' global competitiveness in the
context of the world's fastest growing economy.

Through the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation's continuing commitment to education, JG


Summit intends to fulfill its responsibility to the country and lead Filipinos to an even
better life ahead.
