We warmly welcome you to the
Partnerships Against Poverty Summit
2016! This is the culmination of
our hard work for the first 100 days
in office and the fulfillment of our
campaign promise to establish an
effective and collaborative framework
for poverty alleviation.
Our long years of immersion with
different communities have given us
a clear vision of what every Filipino
family deserves: for our children to
have access to education and be free
from hunger and malnutrition, for our
mothers to be given complete maternal
healthcare, for development to reach
our rural communities and create
sustainable economic opportunities for
all, and for the housing system to allow
our families to live with security and
dignity.
As an alternative lawyer for the
poor, the heart of our leadership
calls for those who are in a position
of strength to protect those who are
weak, for those who are in positions
of privilege to put the needs of the
marginalized over themselves, and for
those who are in positions of power to
serve those who are vulnerable.
The tasks we took upon ourselves
are herculean in nature, for they
require the alignment and participation
of all stakeholders. We all have to
unite in this journey, for genuine
people empowerment requires the
convergence of the national and local
governments, as well as the private
sector and civil society organizations to
solve age-old issues of social injustice,
poverty, and inequality.
MESSAGE FROM
THE VICE PRESIDENT
“
”LENI ROBREDO
vice president of the philippines
The tasks we took upon
ourselves are herculean
in nature, for they
require the alignment
and participation of all
stakeholders.

6
We have had multiple consultations
with local communities, for we have
always believed in treating people as
capable partners and not just passive
beneficiaries. Above all, making our dreams
for the country a reality requires the
transformation of the Office of the Vice
President into one that is advocacy-driven
and results-oriented. Our role is to be the
bridge that connects all stakeholders to
combine our strengths and resources, and
work together to achieve inclusive growth.
We have knocked on many boardrooms
in the past months, and we are deeply
grateful to have you by our side today.
When we succeed in all these, we will see
the end of poverty in the country. We
will welcome a new era of prosperity - the
greatest gift we can ever give to our future
generations.
Hawak-kamay nating wakasan ang
kahirapan. Sama-sama nating paglingkuran
at iangat ang ating mga kababayang nasa
laylayan ng lipunan. Mabuhay tayong lahat!

ANTI-POVERTY
FRAMEWORK
VICE PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO has
always advocated for the last, the least, and the
lost.
As a long time pro-bono lawyer and as a congresswoman,
her trips around the country revealed deep-seated problems
of poverty that ignited the need for urgent action.
As a result, the Office of the Vice President (OVP) is
launching Angat Buhay—a program geared towards raising
the quality of life of every Filipino family.
In her inaugural speech, VP Leni highlighted five key
advocacy areas that she hoped to focus on: nutrition
and food security, universal healthcare, education, rural
development, and women empowerment. These five,
coupled with her Cabinet position as chairperson of the
Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council
(HUDCC), allow a holistic and integrated approach to the
multiple dimensions of poverty.

8
RURAL DEVELOPMENT
The OVP believes that inclusive and sustainable
economic growth can only be achieved if there is
full, decent, and productive employment for all.
The program aims to raise the income of families
living below the poverty threshold and decrease
unemployment rate by helping improve access to
employment opportunities and provide linkages to
microenterprise development.
UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
The OVP aims to promote healthy lives and ensure
the well-being of everyone by increasing the number
of people covered by health insurance or public health
system. Special attention is given to improving the
health and nutrition of mothers and children under 5
years of age. Drug rehabilitation is also covered under
the advocacy, bringing psychological, social, and overall
healing to those addicted to illegal substances.
EDUCATION
The OVP aims to achieve inclusive and equitable quality
education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all. Senior High School programs with opportunity
matching mechanisms should be made available, to
encourage enrollment and increase the participation
rate in Senior High School students.

9
HUNGER & FOOD SECURITY
The OVP believes that hunger is one of the most pressing issues our
country is facing. The negative effects of malnutrition, especially during
a child’s formative stages, are lasting and irreversible. Rather than focus
on feeding programs, the OVP hopes to address the root problem of
hunger and malnutrition by promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
Moreover, there is a need to address maternal nutrition, to aid in the
development of future generations.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
The OVP believes that women have a unique voice that
should be heard in conversations and consultations,
especially because they hold an integral role in the
Filipino family dynamic. The OVP aims to give
women opportunities to be socially and economically
independent, and that all avenues be open to them so
they can achieve their goals.
HOUSING
As Housing Chair, VP Leni aims
not just to build houses; but, to
focus on improving the quality
of life of those who have been
relocated and left without shelter.
She envisions building not just
homes, but full-functioning
communities, with basic needs
like electricity, water, schools,
and livelihood available for each
member of the family.
The end goal: uplifting and empowering the lives of
the Filipino family living in the margins.
