ML Cares Foundation

In many Filipino households, hope is often carried through small but meaningful opportunities, an extra source of income, a chance to start a modest livelihood, or support that helps a family move one step closer to stability.

On the morning of June 10, 2026, a shared sense of compassion and purpose filled a conference room in Tagbilaran City as advocates of life and service came together in celebration of World Blood Donor Day. 

Every school day begins with a journey, and for the pupils of Pinagsanhan Elementary School in Maragondon, Cavite, that journey has become safer and more comfortable with the successful turnover of the “Safe Passage” Pathwalk Canopy Project on June 11, 2026.

In the far reaches of northern Luzon, where the sea stretches endlessly and journeys are measured in days rather than hours, lies Camiguin de Babuyanes, one of the most remote island communities in the Philippines.

The journey to Cabugao Elementary School was long, but it carried a purpose that made every mile meaningful. The OPEC Last Frontier team traveled from Puerto Princesa City to El Nido to prepare for a sea journey to Coron, Palawan, bringing with them ML giveaways and a shared commitment to support a school community far from the usual paths.

We once again witnessed how compassion and service came together last May 9, 2026, as M Lhuillier, through the ML CARES Foundation OPEC Kulintang, partnered with the Venerable Knight Veterinarians Fraternity and Venerable Lady Veterinarians Sorority to hold a meaningful Veterinary Mission at the Kabacan Municipal Gym in Kabacan, North Cotabato. 

Under the warmth of a bright, sunlit day, people from different walks of life gathered with one shared purpose: to give life.

In Barangay Bagna, City of Malolos, Bulacan, a familiar childhood milestone became a moment of care, courage, and community. 

Project Luntian came to life as a meaningful step toward environmental sustainability, bringing together people who share a common goal of caring for nature.  

Nuangan Integrated School in Kidapawan City marked a meaningful milestone, with the turnover of newly built gender-sensitive comfort rooms and handwashing facilities led by M Lhuillier through the ML Cares Foundation, in partnership with ML OPEC Kulintang. 

In 2026, the journey of hope continues.  The OPEC MARIZON-led initiative, M Lhuillier, through OPEC Marizon, once again reached out to schools with its heartwarming program, “Inaasam na Upuan at Sandalan kay M, ang Tahanan," better known as the Armchair Project Turnover v5.0. 

In line with its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development, M Lhuillier, through OPEC Ilocandia, successfully conducted a mangrove planting activity at Barangay Davila. 

This year, the “Better Eyes for Better Life” project was successfully implemented at Pamiga Elementary School in Agoncillo, Batangas, aiming to help students improve their vision and enhance their learning experience. 

In a meaningful effort to protect the environment and strengthen community ties, M Lhuillier OPEC Sandugo Bohol Region successfully conducted a Mangrove Planting and Coastal Cleanup Drive on March 25, 2026, at Busalian, Jao Island, Talibon, Bohol. 

Creating safe and accessible learning environments is essential to ensuring that students can focus on what truly matters: education.

Project Upuan, a community development initiative led by MLhuillier through OPEC La Lagoon, was completed and formally turned over on March 23, 2026, at Liliw Central School in Liliw. 

M Lhuillier OPEC Sandugo Bohol Region, in partnership with ML Cares Foundation, successfully conducted an outreach initiative at Busalian Elementary School under the Adopt-a-School Program.
