eHistory
Philippine Foundation for Cultural and Educational
Development, Inc. (PFCED) was incorporated
and registered with the SEC on June 25, 1965
as a non-stock, not-for-profit organization. The
incorporators dreamt of the Foundation as a
catalyst for values transformation and education.
PFCED committed itself to the promotion of
academic excellence, professional proficiency, as
well as social responsibility among people from all
walks of life.
Makiling Conference Center
Conference Centers
The Foundation set up Conference Centers to serve as venues for the
exchange of ideas, to provide an environment for the study of important
social questions, and to imbue the consideration of such issues with a
Christian outlook. This is achieved through a wide range of activities
of an educational, cultural and spiritual nature all aimed at the total
development of the person—humanly, professionally, and spiritually.
Latag Conference Center
Hilltop Conference Center
Makiling Conference Center
One of the best-known centers established by the PFCED
is the Makiling Conference Center in Calamba, Laguna. Its
amenities include conference rooms, chapels and a Marian
shrine, living rooms and classrooms, dining facilities,
residential areas, a home economics and livelihood
development center and a study camp with athletic courts.
Centers for Professionals
PFCED’s vision, mission and the goals it had set
out to achieve found support from the business
community, which believed that good values make
good business sense, as well as from professionals
in various fields. In addition, it gained support
from international funding agencies.
Belair Center
Campanilla Center
Belair Center for Professional Women
Belair Center provides personal, professional and spiritual
formation to women of all ages working in the Makati area. Here
working mothers learn work-family life balance techniques, retired
professionals share their expertise on various fields, and young
professional women get involved in community outreach projects
such as academic tutorials among public school pupils, values
education classes among high-schoolers, and career track mentoring
among university students.
A Focus on the Family
PFCED operates centers for women.
Beyond promoting values among
professional women who constitute a
sizeable number in the business world,
programs were also aimed at enhancing
skills and a warm respect for activities
centered around the home—a ‘bright
and cheerful’ oasis for the family. These
centers recognize the multiple roles of
women and the wide tasks that they
perform, particularly in the formation
of their children.
On the Youth
PFCED established centers for young
persons aimed at helping them to grow in
sound personal and social values through
the development of leadership skills, a
drive for academic excellence, instilling in
them a love for freedom and responsibility
in relation to their country, community,
and family.
Tanglaw University Center
PFCED established Tanglaw in Quezon City in 1980 to
cater to students of the University of the Philippines-
Diliman, Miriam College, and Ateneo de Manila
University. Students found Tanglaw a complete and
accessible study, research and cultural center.
Personal Formation
In all the Foundation’s Centers, key activities are geared
towards personal formation: recollections, retreats,
courses on Christian living, and spiritual counseling and
one-on-one mentoring.
Sangandaan sa Makati Cultural Center
Sangandaan Center was established
in Legaspi Village in Makati City, the
country’s prime business center. This
center caters to professional men and
provides non-formal education through
seminars, lectures, and discussions on
current issues affecting society and
the economy. Its aim was to promote
values in their work, their family and
their communities.
Ethics in the Professions
Cultural Centers provide continuing
formation for professionals, aiming to
promote human and Christian values and
social responsibility in the corporate and
business sector.
Lauan University Center
Lauan University Center for Men, aside from
supplementing the university education of students,
organizes outreach activities which include Work
Camps, visits to shanty towns and indigent hospital
patients, and teaching of catechism. Also on the list
are sports, excursions and cultural get-togethers.
Our Growth
PFCED now manages eight cultural and professional centers,
four student centers and four conference centers. In its over four
decades of existence, it has also inspired many other initiatives
with the same spirit of service and personal responsibility aimed at
fostering the common good. The growth of the Foundation in terms
of physical establishments and an ever-increasing clientele for its
programs of formation proves that it has exerted and continues to
exert a positive impact on individuals and society as a whole.
PFCED and Opus Dei
PFCED has entrusted the activities of
Christian formation in its centers to
Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the
Catholic Church, whose mission is to
spread the message of holiness in and
through, professional, family, and
social life for men and women in the
middle of the world.
