Chevron executive feted by foundation for advancing education and youth cause

The American Chamber Foundation Philippines, Inc. (AMCHAM Foundation) recently gave an award to Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI) Corporate Affairs Manager Atty. Raissa Bautista for spearheading CPI’s education and youth corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs for the past five years. The award was given during the 32nd AmCham Foundation’s Thanksgiving Night held in New World Hotel, in Makati.

Chevron, marketer of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants, has been a partner with the foundation for its Caltex Fuel Your School (FYS) initiative since 2015. Caltex FYS is a CSR program that has helped about 1.7 million public high school students better learn STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects by donating over P17 million worth 21st modern century teaching and learning tools.

“A big congratulations to the American Chamber Foundation of the Philippines on its 35th year anniversary! I have been privileged to sit as a member of its Board of Trustees and have witnessed the agility, passion and selflessness of the people that has steered the foundation to where it is now,” said Atty. Raissa Bautista, Corporate Affairs Manager of Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI).

“The Amcham Foundation has enabled various US companies like Chevron, take their CSR work a notch higher by allowing socio-community work to be embedded in their business objectives and employee engagements. I encourage other AMCHAM members to partner with the Foundation and be catalysts for change,” added Atty. Bautista.

CPI has been a long-time member of AMCHAM Philippines and its socio-civic arm the AmCham Foundation. Aside from Caltex FYS, Chevron has worked with AMCHAM Fnd. on initiatives such as community waste reduction, costal cleanups, road safety and livelihood training for disadvantaged people groups.

The annual charity thanksgiving event gives back to the community by raising funds for deserving underprivileged students to give them access to a better education. All proceeds go to the AmCham Foundation Scholarship Program.
