Apl Foundation

Allan Pineda,

Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, from Angeles City- Pampanga left his hometown at the age of fourteen to embark on a new life in the United States of America. Leaving his family and community behind, Allan had one dream to be able to support his family and give back to his homeland.
Now, 20 years later he is doing just that, he and his mother started by giving to the local children in his community. It started with the simple idea of giving on Christmas day, Allan, his entire family and a few visiting friends, hand out toys, care packages, rice from their farm, and money to the local community and one of the indigenous tribes in the area.
He also started to sponsor children and purchase materials for the local primary school. Now, with the foundation in place Allan will expand his reach to the rest of the Philippines.

The Apl Foundation

have recently started a foundation with the intent to give back to the Philippines and Asia. Our first initiative is focused on the Philippines. We are working with the Ayala Foundation and in the Philippines and the United States. In addition, we are working with Give2Asia for disaster relief initiatives and cultural preservation projects.

Current Focus

Education - The Ayala's have a project we are supporting called the Gilas project. Which is focused on providing connectivity via computers to all the schools in the Philippines. The computer labs will insure all the children completing primary and secondary school will leave with a skill which can be used in a future career or schooling. In addition, we will be providing additional literature and materials to their libraries.

Culture - We are partnering with the United Nations, a technology called OurHistree, and the Ayala Foundation. We are creating a platform to connect the Filipino community globally. We will be creating a living history and community for information as it relates to the Filipino culture, history, indigenous tribes and communities.

Environment - We are partnering with Algae Systems and Dura (clean tech technologies), the Ayalas and the Philippines to bring new emerging algae technologies and waste to energy technologies to the Philippines. This project will provide environmental solutions for the marine life, water, land fill and energy. Currently the Philippines have been labeled as one of the most marine Bio Diverse regions in the world. By taking action in this region of the world we will not only be giving back to the Philippines but the entire world.
