Banquet Fund Newsletter: 1st Quarter 2025

Passionate organic farmer leads the way to a more sustainable farming practice

Ursula Sacley is a passionate organic farmer in a vegetable producing community that heavily relies upon chemical inputs to optimize produce. She says that while synthetic fertilizer increases production in the short term, it adversely affects soil fertility and eventually makes the land unproductive, thus progressively requiring higher doses of agrochemicals. With most of her surrounding farms using synthetics, she had to put up a greenhouse to protect her crops. Establishing a greenhouse however is costly and is often beyond the budget of low income farmers and so she partnered with the Anglican Board of Mission – Australia and the ECP Banquet Fund for this purpose. After one year of operation of her greenhouse, she passed on the fund support for this project to other farmers similarly to be able to establish the protective structure.

Ursula is now being tapped as resource person on organic farming by the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies. The Binnadang Livelihood Skills Center also uses her farm as an educational site on organic
farming. With the long-term benefits clearly observable from Ursula’s farming technique, her village-mates in Tadayan, Kibungan, Benguet are also adopting the more sustainable and ecologically-friendly technology.

Ursula is a member of St. Catherine Community Farmers Association, an organization of vegetable farmers in Tadayan, which now total organizational funds of Php 130,925.75, consisting of Php 90,100 in share capital of members and Php 40,825.75 earnings of the organization. ABM-Australia and the E-CARE Foundation has supported the establishment of 11 greenhouses in the farms along Halsema Highway in the Cordillera under the Foundation’s
receivers-to-givers approach.

Tabon mangrove forest enhancement: An ECP
-IFI Communion Forest

Planting 20,000 mangrove propagules in a one hectare seashore may take a few days. This was planned to be done in an activity dubbed as “Pagpalangga sa
Dunangmanggad” or Caring for the Environment. It will start with prayers and blessing of the propagules to be done by the Prime Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP) and the Bishop of the Diocese of Bacoor of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI). The project was initiated as a joint Communion Forest of the ECP and the IFI in Barangay Tabon, Municipality of Batan, Province of Aklan. The activity was scheduled on February 18, 2025
with partners of the E-CARE Foundation in Aklan leading the actual planting, and the Municipal Government of Batan providing technical assistance.

On the date of planting, the opening program started at 8 am, with prayers and blessing of propagules done by 8:45 am. By 10 am, all 22,000 propagules were planted in the identified sites, taking a little over an hour to complete what was originally thought to take a few days of planting. This was because various government and non government offices participated in the activity. E-CARE community partners were in full force. Even the boy and girl scouts and pupils of public schools in Batan joined in the lively planting. It was a beautiful sunny day when it started and it was low tide that allowed for easier planting. Upon completion however, the rain poured and raised the sea level to drown any insect which may be tempted to eat up the propagules.

Tabon is an island barangay whose shorelines are slowly being eaten up by the sea. The village observes that sea water has been rising over the years and during strong storms, it would already reach the floors of their houses. Expansion of the mangrove forest around the island is therefore critical for coastal protection, water quality management and enhancement of fish nursery habitats. The barangay was therefore so grateful that the IFI and ECP through the E-CARE Foundation as well as the municipal government and other government offices chose to do a mangrove forest expansion project along the critical portions of the island’s shorelines.

Executive Summary of the Evaluation of the Capacity Enhancement (CEP) and Enabling Recovery, Enhancing Resiliency (ER2) Programs

ECARE is the development arm of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP). The evaluation covered ECARE’s Capacity Enhancement Program (CEP) for the period July 2019 – Dec 2022. Data was collected from interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders, including visits to communities across eight dioceses of the ECP, and from ECARE’s program records.

The evaluation found that the CEP program from July 2019 – Dec 2022 had directly impacted more than 1900 community members across 67 communities. ECARE assisted community members to form associations which undertook initiatives such as water systems, farming, food processing, piggeries and retail stores. Generally speaking, the initiatives related to water systems, farming and food processing had higher success rates than those relating to piggeries and retail stores. The latter were beset by swine flu and cooperative management issues
respectively.

Some of the associations registered with the government as cooperatives. Forty-three of the sixty-seven associations and cooperatives that were operating in the 2019-2022 period had grown in terms of total capital assets by Dec 2022 and 66 out of 67 remained functioning.

A highlight of the program was the range of community service initiatives undertaken by the community organisations. These initiatives included neighbourhood and coastal clean ups, emergency loans to members, annual tree planting activities, water source clearing and conservation, organising blood pressure checks and advocacy on laws like Rice Tariffication. These initiatives demonstrate that the program not only had economic impacts but also changed attitudes, mobilising program participants to care for their wider community.

Whilst communities heralded the program’s overall effectiveness in terms of economic and wider community impacts, some concerns were raised about efficiency. Some associations experienced a breakdown of internal control within the association as well as members’ inability to meet payment deadlines. Some stakeholders felt screening of project readiness was not careful enough and some noted risks involved with the transport of cash during the awarding of R2G funds to partner associations. Whilst the number and competences of ECARE staff were sufficient to enable the program to largely achieve its objectives, the growth in the number of associations led to a declining ratio of ECARE development staff time that could be dedicated to each association.

The program showed high rates of women’s participation and gave new opportunities for women in leadership and in socialising outside the house. Women comprised 52% of all members and held 67% of the leadership positions in the community organisations. Program impacts for children and people living with disability appeared to be minor. Children were not directly involved but gained indirect benefits, for example when savings acquired through the program were directed towards children’s education. A small number of people living with disability participated in the program, however ECARE did not track their number or conduct case studies to understand challenges and impacts for them in more detail.

The sustainability of CEP program impacts was one of its strengths. Associations became registered as cooperatives and subsequently accessed government support. Associations and cooperatives continued to ‘receive and give (repay a loan by passing on funds to a new community group) over many cycles. 72 partner communities made at least 3 pass-ons at an average of Php 1,772,683.53 (around AUD$ 48,340) received and passed on per community. Water systems established prior to the evaluation period continued to serve communities during and after the evaluation period.

The Banquet Fund Newsletter is featuring the factual findings of the external evaluators on the CEP and ER2 programs of the E-CARE Foundation. In view of the number of communities evaluated however, the newsletter will successively feature one community from each diocese.

Maguing Farmers Multipurpose Cooperative  (MAFAMCo)
Sta. Clara, Gonzaga, Cagayan

Association Profile

MAFAMCo possesses Certificates of Registration both from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Revenue District Office 013 – Tuguegarao, Cagayan (issued 30 April 2013, with Tax Exemption Certificate valid until 31 March 2024) and Cooperative Development Authority (issued 14 November 2012).

Its mission is to improve health conditions and sanitation of members by  providing potable water supply services to all households in the community, provide accessible financial services to all farmers, and introduce adoption of organic and environment-friendly techniques to all farmers.

Evaluation

The goal of MAFAMCo mainly ensures portability, continuous supply, collections of water bills, and reducing water-borne diseases of water supply. The cooperative aimed at increasing the number of consumers from 100 by 2018, increasing the capitalization by Php 300,000.00 for livelihood assistance, producing and commercializing equally competitive bio-organic fertilizer and promoting use of organic and environment-friendly farming in the community.

According to the 2022 audited financial statements provided, the Share Capital amounted to Php462,600.00 from Php 297,570.00 of 2021. This shows a 
significant jump in MAFAMCo’s target capitalization of Php 300,000.00. Such increase came from additional capital. It was noted however that 245 households were non members served by the water system. This increased client base also made collection challenging for MAFAMCo. They claim to have a high bad debt incidence but no allowance nor expense is reflected in their 2022 audited financial statements.

MAFAMCo’s membership with the ECAR cooperative federation allows them to enjoy the training and financial assistance as they have used for building the water tank and dryer system, approximately worth Php 2,000,000.00. Further, they get support from the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) for goods and training and the Department of Agriculture (DA) for farm tractors.

To improve the water source, MAFAMCo’s Board of Directors agreed to change the hoses with support from the local governemnt. This enabled MAFAMCo to serve beyond their initial planned scope. They charge Php 75.00 for five (5) cubic meters (minimum) and Php 18.00 per cubic meter in excess. Their capital expenditures are basically composed of pipes and coupling for maintenance. local government. This enabled MAFAMCo to serve beyond their initial  planned scope. 

The land where the water reservoir, building and solar dryer stands according to MAFAMCo’s officers was donated to the cooperative and the transfer of title was previously processed. However, this issue remains unresolved and the heir of the original owner took over the property.

History of Cycles

The Second Cycle (Year 2023) involved total funds of PhP 310,000.00 released  on 29 January 2024 and payable one year after. There are 15 receivers with share capital of PhP 13,333 each and loan amounting to PhP46,991.9, totalling PhP 200,00 and PhP 657,874, respectively.

Evaluation

The organisation has completed the payback of the livelihood support fund of their 4th cycle. They were able to collect a share capital of PhP 200,000.00 through their main livelihood which is hog- raising and sari-sari store.

The association has a sustainable approach to fulfilling their mission over time  given that the members  are  able to follow an investment policy that balances the need for current grant making/giving while preserving the association’s common fund and ensuring long-term growth.

The members should be informed about their decisions ensuring that they understand the potential risks and returns associated with their business. They must have a backup plan or strategies in marketing their product to maximize their profits and minimize risks since most of them sell similar products.

The community’s primary income source is fishing and oyster production, and this is a key factor contributing to the significant profitability of their businesses. After the computation of projected cost less than their counterpart it has observed that some businesses turn out that the allocated loans are not enough to cover some of their expenses.

Indigenous People’s Upland Farmers  Association II (IPUFA 11) Brgy. Pa/ale, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija

Association Profile

IPUFA II is the name of the association according to the documents that have been provided; no other relevant documents or significant facts that can identify their association are provided, and the names of the officers are not provided. 30 members of which 17 are female and 13 are male.

The Brgy. Palale, General Tinio, Nueva Ecija receivers received 800,000.00 on the sixth cycle and 1,000,000.00 on the seventh cycle from the ECARE R2G program. The funds were divided by 25 and 27 receivers of the program, respectively. These beneficiaries presented various business proposals, including Camote production, Hog Raising, Sili Taiwan/Panigang production, Sari-sari Store, Mango production, Rice Farming/Production, Vegetable Gardening: Sitaw, Ginger & Camote production, Motorcycle Parts/ Retail of Motorcycle Parts, Ginger & Kardis production, Bakery supply, and Cornate & Ginger production.

Evaluation

There are two loan cycles where the loan amounts are different amounts, with a total of PHP1,800,000, with PHP 800,000 and PHP 1,000,000 from Cycle 6 and 7, respectively. This demonstrates the beneficiaries’ capacity to optimize their loans to scale up their business operations while repaying their loans on time, which indicates their businesses’ solvency.

One thing observed is some of them are somehow able to differentiate their business from all others in the community. They have their own goods apart from everyone and attract consumers for the availability and variety of their products. Since many of them have similar businesses, it creates a high risk of encountering difficulties in selling their products due to having homogenous products with competitors in the community. To increase profit and to sustain the needs of their business, it is recommended to have a backup plan.

With their business ventures or proposed projects they may be profitable only when they know how to manage their business since most of them sell goods or food which is a primary need of consumers. It is indeed profitable.

The program has expanded its reach, going from 25 beneficiaries in 2023 to over 27 beneficiaries in 2024. This small growth indicates the program’s positive impact and its ability to provide support to an increasing number of individuals or communities.

Peggueyna Farmers Family Beginners  Association (PFFBA) Peggueyna, Buguias, Benguet

Association Profile

PFFBA is situated in the locale of Peggueyna, Buguias, Benguet. With thirty-four members, each are beneficiaries of the E-CARE R2G livelihood program. The organisation is actively involved in agricultural activities, including crop production, hog raising, and gardening. Founded to promote sustainable farming practices, the association collaborates with E-CARE to enhance its agricultural endeavors and contribute to the overall well-being of the community (i.e. support to the local congregation and E-CARE institution).

The livelihood assistance provided to the Peggueyna association of farmers is facilitated through the E-CARE R2G livelihood program, involving loans of 1,200,000 in the first cycle and 1,500,000 in each subsequent cycle. Interest amounts to 144,000 in the initial cycle and 180,000 in subsequent cycles, with corresponding repayments totaling 1,344,000 in the first cycle and 1,680,000 in each subsequent cycle.

Evaluation

There was a consistent increase in CBU or the share capital among its members, which demonstrates the association’s ability to save and plan for future initiatives, and indicates financial prudence.

Ability of the members (beneficiaries) to leverage on borrowings and make timely repayments. Timely repayments signify financial discipline among members, contributing to the association’s credibility and future access to financial support.

The association’s donations, supporting E-CARE, the local church, and the association (adding to CBU), demonstrate a commitment to community welfare and the association’s overarching goals and objectives.

Commitment to sustainable agriculture and profitability: Over four cycles, PFFBA engaged in consistent financial activities for crop production, gardening, and hog raising. In each cycle, they secured loans with associated 12% add-on interest, leading to total repayments. For example, in the first cycle, they borrowed 1,200,000 with 144,000 in interest, totaling a repayment of 1,344,000.

Mandong Small Business Association  (MSBA) Barangay Mandong, Batan, Aklan

Association Profile

The association is registered with the Department of Labor and Employment. Its vision is “Matibay at matatag na samahan na mayroong sapat na puhunan at kakayahan para sa tuloy-tuloy na pag- unlad ng mga kasapi at ng kumunidad na nakasentro sa maka-Diyos, makakalikasan at makataong pag-unlad”. Its mission is, ”Ang MSBA ay binuo upang gampanan ang mga sumusunod:
1) Mapaunlad ang kakayahan at kaalaman ng mga kasapi para sa pang ekonomiyang paglago.
2) Mapalakas at mapagsigla ang samahan sa pamamagitan ng pagtutulongan at pagkakaisa.
3) Mapagtibay ang samahan at ang mga programa nito na makatutugon sa pangangailangan at kabutihan ng kumunidad.”
18 members of which 16 are female and 2 are male.

The beneficiaries in the Mandong Batan, Aklan, received a total funds of 823,000.00 from ECARE. The funds were divided by 18 receivers of the program. These beneficiaries presented various business proposals, including Bibingka Cake production, Hog Raising, Poultry, Sari-sari Store, Glass and Aluminum works, Fishing, and Motor Parts Trading. The table below shows each proposal’s breakdown and the corresponding amount allocated to them from the ECARE funds.

Evaluation

Based on the evaluation, the beneficiaries of the R2G fund have the opportunity to purchase additional materials, improving their production efficiency. They can also expand their businesses using the profits generated in the second year. Moreover, they can allocate funds to cover their monthly expenses and contribute to their children’s tuition fees. Additionally, they are gaining valuable insights into effective income management to ensure timely loan repayments. Overall, the R2G fund helps many of Mandong Batan, Aklan’s beneficiaries, from managing their business to sustaining their monthly expenses.

Since the association was able to register with DOLE, they have been able to amplify the impact of their work and share resources and expertise. This has allowed them to explore various funding sources beyond the foundation’s endowment.

The beneficiaries should consider attending bookkeeping seminars to learn how to create an effective financial report that will beneficially help them monitor the expenses and income they generate for the year. As stated in their evaluation, they learned how significant savings are, and they know how to monitor their income to pay their loans on time. These learnings will help them improve their skills in managing their business and generate more future profits, so they should not be reliant on acquiring loans.

As a result of the evaluation, the beneficiaries have acquired the skills to effectively manage and allocate their funds. They have strengthened their association, fostering increased member participation and enabling them to consistently meet all deadlines.

Christ the King Episcopal Church (CKEC) Kulaman (Poblacion), Senator Ninoy  Aquino, Sultan Kudarat

Association Profile

CKEC started in 2020 with 16 members who established the association for the purpose of helping the members’ families and the community, improve the members’ livelihood, generate more income and raise more capital for business. Only individuals 18 years of age and older, with business and/or farm, even non-Episcopal members with

recommendation of active members, are eligible to become a member of this organisation. CKEC meets every month at the church for association updates and at the same time, conducts church activities with the community.

Since its inception, ECARE was able to support members’ livelihood in the form of piggeries, poultry, coffee , vegetable and corn farming, banana chips production, knife/sword making (blacksmith), online and retail selling. Not all members avail of the ECARE livelihood assistance but are actively paying their membership dues with CKEC.

Php 192,155.00 was released on 11 October 2020 for the first cycle of R2G with 15 receivers (12 Females, 3 Males). No data was provided for the second cycle. Php 250,000.00 was released to 19 receivers (14 Females, 5 Males) for the third cycle which at the moment of the evaluation remained outstanding. Php 366,875.00 was proposed by the 21 members (16 Females, 5 Males) for the fourth cycle.

Evaluation

The interviews show that a number of the participating members have their existing livelihood prior to the launch of the R2G program. The assistance they acquired from ECARE augmented their current capital. They were able to purchase more materials, expand their product offerings and services, shift their businesses from non-profitable to more feasible ones, run their own livelihood instead of working daily paid with other entrepreneurs, harnessing the potential of idle lots for backyard gardening, among others.

It was evident that their choice of livelihood was varied, mainly dependent on the needs of the community, the skills they have acquired through experience and available resources from the community and nearby communities. Some also preferred low maintenance businesses like hog raising and more flexible business like retail or food sales.

Common challenges faced by the members include fluctuations in demand and supply. It was noticeable though that most of the members have already learned to adapt to the changing times, thus, reducing potential losses. Some resort to alternate businesses like hog raising. Though it is undeniable that when their households experience financial difficulties for their children’s education, house construction, or other personal needs, they withdraw from their livelihood’s finances.

Another TUA Loyalty Awardee Donates to  Banquet Fund

Another employee of Trinity University of Asia awarded for 35 years of service in the institution has donated 10% of her monetary award to the Banquet Fund last February 21, 2025 on the occasion of the school’s 62nd foundation day. This was the second donor, after the first awardee who made a similar donation in 2023. This first donor was a Methodist but was so inspired by the Prime Bishop’s presentation of the work of the Banquet Fund given during the university’s foundation day service that she readily gave 10% of her award. The university itself gave Php 50,000 to the Fund at the celebration of its 18th year of university-hood in September 2024.

GIVERS TO THE BANQUET FUND

The Banquet Fund was established by the ECP as one program where people can live out the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14:7-14, where the Lord Jesus Christ said that “when you give a banquet, don’t invite your relatives or rich neighbors as they will invite you back and you will be repaid. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind and those who cannot repay you and you will be blessed!”

People who host celebrations or banquets and cannot fully obey this commandment may give to this Fund which supports those whose livelihoods are devastated by disasters. The establishment of this Fund in late 2019 was timely as it aptly responded to the covid-19 crisis. Consistent with the E-CARE Foundation’s policy that it does not simply give charity or relief assistance that may help people for a meal or two but creates opportunities for affected communities and households to rise up from devastation, the Banquet Fund partners will grant back what they received when they are able so that the said funds will also be passed on to others who are in the same or worse situation and thus enhance the spiral of sharing from one community or household to another under what is known in the ECP as Receivers-to-Givers (R2G) Practice. Under this scheme, the Banquet Funds do not end when released to partner families but are used and then shared by one to another in the never-ending spiral of sharing. Givers to the Banquet Fund become perpetual partners of families and communities which avail of the Fund.
