Taking Actions
Given the concerns cited above, Enactus UPV designed an intervention that is
a systematic model in order to make the association more sustainable. Enactus
UPV formulated temporal goals which are: short term, mid-term and long term.
Short term goals include equipping the farmers with the necessary information
needed to improve their business, setting up the association’s mission and
vision statements and processing the legalities of the association. These are
achieved through a series of capacity enhancement trainings and follow-ups.
Midterm goals include being exposed to more complex trainings and evident
application of the previous trainings, having increasing savings, being able to
rent a car to be used for the operations of the association, and being able to
strategize how to deal with environmental factors. The long term goal of this
project is for the organization to attain sustainability that even without the
presence of Enactus UPV, they can withstand on its own and be able to
innovate more products and strategies for the association. All of these boil
down to honing them as better entrepreneurs who can later manage their
business on their own.
Enabling Progress
Enactus UPV focused only in capacity enhancements but this does not mean
they have imparted a lesser impact. In fact, these trainings contribute the
progress not only of the beneficiaries but also the students.

Social
The target beneficiaries of this project are rebel returnees. Being former
members of the armed revolutionary group, these people were indeed
principled and have very strong advocacies. This imposed a challenge to
students on how they are going to effectively handle the project as well as to
the farmers on how they are going to accept the new ideas from young people.
This project improved the farmers’ ability to interact and be with people more
securely than before knowing that they were former members of armed
revolutionary group. They were exposed to various orientation trainings that
helped build their esteem through the knowledge they get. The partnership
formed also created a different view of them which is very farm from what
people used to see them.
Sustainability
Given the interventions and initiatives we made, we see the association as a
group that could stand on their own. We started the project by strengthening
the organizational concerns of the association and by enhancing their
entrepreneurial knowledge that is essential for the business to flourish. We
underscore the importance of enhancing human potentials than ‘spoon-feeding’
the group with product our team had made. We want them to be self-sufficient
that is why we chose the less popular path of enhancing the potentials of the
group and let them innovate on their own. This project also emphasized the
borderline between dependency and helping out. We believe that in this kind of
model, the association will be able to attain sustainability.

Seeing Opportunity
October 15, 2013 was not an ordinary day for Boholanos. This is the day of the
7.2 magnitude earthquake which resulted to the loss of love ones, homes,
livelihoods and an extreme stirring in the foundation of their faith.
That was the day they never thought that would change the cycle of their lives.
The imagery of terrified residents, and the widespread damage of icons of
Boholano culture and heritage including the treasured churches. Buildings
and infrastructure collapsed, bridges split into half and innocent lives were
taken- these are still vivid in the memory of every Boholano making them feel
that they were in the brink of doom.
Barangay Loreto, Cortes, Bohol is one of the sternly affected areas during the
said tragedy that stuck our beloved Bohol. The loss of livelihood is a dilemma
among Loretohanons.
Taking Actions
The main material of the project is the abundant “guinit” from the coconut
trees. Guinit is removed from the coconut trees. This act lessens the chances
for rates to breed there at, thus making the coconut trees more productive
bearing more fruits. The utilization of the guinit provides a solution for the
disposal of this material because dumping it anywhere can cause an unhealthy
surrounding when mosquitos inhabit in this trash. On the other hand, burning
it emits carbon dioxide which is also harmful for the environment.
Puso ng Pagbangon: Puso Coin Purse project is not only giving people a
chance to earn more but also to spread awareness in taking care of our natural
resources because this is the reason why we, humans are here for.
