Inspired by the message of St Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei who taught that everyone was called to be holy in their ordinary duties, Alalay sa Pamilya at Bayan Foundation (APBF) was established to address this concern.
Launched on June 16, 2010, the foundation has reached more than 20,000 public school students, who are grateful to have discovered the value of faith and daily work, faith and study, and faith and family life.
APBF empowers public school communities, youth, parents and teachers through character formation, teaching them to become God-fearing, productive, responsible and self-reliant. It aims to revive the high moral and cultural values of Filipinos and make them responsible and happy members of society.
APBF believes character education is key to helping young people see what is true, good and beautiful in life despite hardships at home, in school and elsewhere. Volunteers share their time and talent, skills and experience to teach children the basics of Christian living and values formation.
