Executive Summary
The purpose of the Proposal is to explore the potential of Sinagtala’87 AUFCON
Members to come out of a meaningful project that would help deserving talented nursing
first year students enrolled at AUF College of Nursing per Scholarship Program Model
of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. with a methodology called “SWREM
Theory In Action”, in commemoration of their 20th Year Reunion, as a legacy of the
success in their nursing career profession in the United States. This project can be linked
as one of the Satellite Scholarship Programs of the Foundation and is proposed to be
officially identified as “CYDFI-Sinagtala’87 AUFCON Satellite Scholarship
Program Model” of which, the proceeding presentation on this paper shall attempt to
demonstrate the soundness of the principle of the “SWREM Theory In Action” as the key
reason for the confidence that the Scholarship Program Model designed by the
Foundation will pave the way for helping to address abject poverty in the Philippine rural
areas. CYDFI sees itself, then, as a “Crusader Against Abject Poverty in the
Philippine Rural Areas”.
Part I of the proposal is a Retrospect of what Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. (CYDFI) is for. As a reader, once you have a full grasp of what the
mission of the Foundation is all about, how it is going to be pursued to accomplish its
mission and understand the far reaching and enduring implications of the methodology
(SWREM Theory In Action), you will see that the Scholarship Program Model
designed by the Foundation has a direction that goes beyond traditional approach of
Scholarship Programs offered and mostly available nowadays. For one, the Scholarship
Program Model of the Foundation is not only helping qualified youths help them help
themselves but are empowered to do the same to help, at least, one or two new incoming
scholars as they learn to become socially responsible and become productive in the
practice of their chosen careers, after their college education. When this Scholarship
Program Model is done on a continuous spiral loop basis, it will lead the Foundation to
have a more self-sustainable program. Other similar model call this “pay-it-forward”.
Log on for more information on a model with similar methodology at:
www.payitforwardfoundation.org or by (1) opening the website of the Foundation at
www.cydf821philippines.com (2) click on the Table of Contents (Homepage), then
(3) click on SWREM and Pay-It-Back vs Pay-It-Forward Model.
Part II of the proposal is a discussion on how the Scholarship Program Model of
the Foundation can be replicated. i.e., CYDFI-Sinagtala’87 Satellite Scholarship Program
Model at AUF College of Nursing. Currently, the Scholarship Program Model of the
Foundation is officially being replicated in Benedicto, Floridablanca, Pampanga. Log on
at www.cydf821philipines.com for more information on the CYDFI-Benedicto Satellite
Scholarship Program. Also, an on-going negotiation with a potential sponsor is taking
place to establish another CYDFI Satellite Scholarship Program Model in one of the
barrios of General Santos City in Mindanao, which would pave the way for establishing a
Regional Office of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc, in the said region.
The capacity and power to translate this “Project Proposal” into reality is in your
hands for “when dream becomes a reality, then reality becomes a dream. So, dream a
better dream (a better world) and work hard to make it real.” (Adventures of Sharkboy &
Lavagirl). If the group would like to move on to the next level of translating this proposal
into reality, you may contact us for further discussion of the Project Proposal.

1. Introduction
When we philosophically examine the meaning and definition of “what
makes a human being, a human being is,” it is said that “s/he is not only an
individual but a social being”. As an individual being, we find ourselves
successful and fulfilled in the practice of our nursing career in the adopted land
(USA) we now call “home”. However, as a social being, there is a soft spot in our
hearts to also ask ourselves on “how far have we gone to share our success,
especially to those less privileged in need of our “help” the most?”
Back home, as reported, there are more than four (4) million Filipinos
living in abject poverty despite of the impression that many find their luck
working abroad. Poverty is not a word but a reality for them. We are not being
asked to solve but are invited to share and try to help solve, so as to lessen if not
to totally eradicate, abject poverty, especially in the Philippine rural areas.
As a socially responsible being, we have the capacity to respond positively
to the call (challenge) of helping to improve the quality of life of those less
privileged members of our society. When we look back where we came from and
see the horizon of where we are headed to, a shadow of the past reminds us that
we ought to do something and confront the challenge of helping to uplift the spirit
of those whom we have left back home and help them carry the load of improving
the health of the community that we call “home” and the land of our birth. So, we
come together and try to bond ourselves in harmony to bring the message of hope
for our young generation and let them know that we “think” of them and try to
respond positively to the call, as we move on with our lives.
But, some of us might say: “Am I my brothers’ keeper?” While it is true
that we are not our brothers’ keeper, it is also equally true that we care to “help”
unconditionally because each one of us is gifted with a “human heart” that has a
capacity to respond positively in times of their needs and misery. It is man’s
nature to look after the general welfare and goodness of his fellow human beings,
be they your own blood relatives or not.
2. Purpose of the Proposal
The purpose of the proposal is to explore the potential of the Sinagtala’87
membership to come out of a meaningful project that would help a deserving
talented nursing student enrolled at AUF College of Nursing based on the
methodology (SWREM Theory In Action) of the Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. (CYDFI), in commemoration of their 20th Year Reunion, as a
legacy of the success in their nursing career profession in the United States. This
project can be linked as one of the Satellite Programs of the Foundation, the
process of which shall be explained in the proceeding discussion.

3. Statement of Need
Many indigent but deserving talented youths in the rural areas suffer the
consequence of their impoverished condition and although they have access to free
education, it is only true in the elementary level. Secondary education in the public sector
is not totally free, more so on the collegiate level. It may seem to require a minimal fee
but for many, especially those who live in abject poverty, it is unaffordable! In essence,
this is the beginning of making the “rift” between the “rich and poor” bigger and bigger
in our society. Let alone those who have financial resources can afford to move on in
their pursuit of good education, either in the public or private sector. The “impoverished
condition” is like a “box-trap” for most deserving talented youths where they struggle
with financial difficulty to move on and get secondary and, more so, college education.
One possible way for them to get out of the “box” and their “cycle of poverty” is
to provide them a resource like the one being espoused by CYDFI. Recognizing the need
to respond to this issue, CYDFI has made a commitment in declaring its Mission leading
to “A Crusade Against Abject Poverty In Philippine Rural Areas” thru a Scholarship
Program Model with SWREM Theory In Action, as a methodology.
Most scholarship programs being offered, nowadays, do not go beyond being able
to send a scholar finish college education and able to make use of his education to help
himself and his immediate family. What seems to be “missing” in this modality is the
element of effectively and conscientiously creating an environment where a “scholarship
recipient” has to actively share and do to incoming scholars of what he receives from his
scholarship, done on a continuous spiral loop basis, such as: “helping him help himself
through the Scholarship Program so he can help incoming scholars”. This key concept is
missing in most traditional scholarship programs offered to youths. And, CYDFI has
designed and adopted “SWREM Theory In Action”, as a modality, to accomplish its
mission of helping to address abject poverty, especially in the Philippine rural areas.
Fig.1: Scholarship Program Model
Am I glad that I finish my education
thru a Scholarship Grant given to me.
I can move on with my life and be
able to help other members of my
family because I now hold the key to
my future...What a dream come true!
Am I glad that I walked through the CYDFI Scholarship Program
Model! Knowing that I now hold the key to my future as I become
productive after college, I can move on to fulfill my commitment to
help, at least one or two, new incoming CYDFI Scholars and the
latter will, in turn, do the same and so on, on a continuous loop basis.
I am almost certain that, someday, a lot of us will be helping each
other, in addition to being able to help our own respective families,
leading to breaking the cycle of poverty in our midst and in our
community. Eventually, the Scholarship will pave the way towards
community growth and development due to the “ripple effect” of the
Model. The “Crusade Against Abject Poverty” of the Foundation in
the Philippine rural areas now becomes my own crusade, too.
Traditional Approach of
Scholarship Program Model

Are you excited
to be a CYDFI
Scholar?
Incoming Scholars
Of course, I am!
I will “burn” the
oil to learn so I
can help incoming
scholars, too, when
I become productive
after graduation in
College. I know, you
will do the same. Our
future depends on
how we also do our
part and fair share of
the responsibility.
CYDFI Scholarship Program Model

Part I: In Retrospect
Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. (CYDFI)
“A Crusade Against Abject Poverty In Philippine Rural Areas”
I. About CYDFI Philippines
With deep concern on how to help address the issue of poverty in the
Philippine rural communities such as Barrio Calantas and among the indigenous
Aeta people in Nabuclod, the Founders registered Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. at SEC in Manila on August 16, 2002, in response to the ideals,
aspirations and dreams in life of youths living in abject poverty without claiming
to solve the issue of poverty but only to invite us to think on what and how we can
join and participate in breaking the cycle of poverty in our midst, as a Crusade.
One doesn't need to be materially blessed to do this but be sensitive and
creative enough to join others, like the CYDFI, in mind and spirit and translate
that into action by empowering youths become socially responsible and
productive members of society.
a. Philosophy
Man, in his search for meaning in life, has to develop his potentiality to the
fullest so that he could enjoy the very essence of his existence; and only then, he
could become fully human capable of transcending the realities of his life,
enabling him to become socially responsible.
b. Vision
Towards Community Growth and Development in Bo. Calantas and Nabuclod
Aeta Community in Floridablanca, Pampanga and the CYDFI Scholarship
Program Model through the Principles of SWREM Theory In Action: A Social
Responsibility.
c. Mission Statement
To empower indigent but deserving talented youths living in abject poverty
in Philippine rural areas thru a Scholarship Program Model with a methodology
called “SWREM Theory In Action”, designed to help them help themselves so
they can help incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of poverty as they
learn to become socially responsible, with implications not only to personal but
community growth and development; and to promote replication advocacy of said
model in other rural communities”.

d. CYDFI Program & Services
1. The main program of CYDFI is providing Scholarship to indigent but
deserving talented youths in the rural communities such as Calantas and
Nabuclod Aeta Community on an annual continuing basis.
2. The scholars are selected from among the top five (5) honor graduating 6th
grade students from Calantas Elementary School and eventually, from among
the top three (3) 6th grade Aeta students in Nabuclod.
3. The Program has three phases: (a) Phase1: HS Scholarship Grant (b) Phase2:
College Scholarship Grant and ( c) Phase3: Graduate School Scholarship Grant.
II. CYDFI Methodology
The Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. has designed a Scholarship
Program Model with a methodology called “SWREM Theory In Action” to assure
that the Crusade becomes a self-sustainable one with a mission statement:
“to empower indigent but deserving talented youths help themselves so they
can help incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of poverty as
they learn to become socially responsible, with implications not only to
personal but community growth and development; and to promote replication
advocacy of said model in other rural communities in the Philippines”.
When the mission is implemented on a continuous spiral loop basis
propelled by the methodology, this becomes like an engine that will create an
environment of not only affecting personal but community growth and development
and thus, effectively helping to address abject poverty in the rural areas.
SWREM Theory In Action is predicted to direct the Foundation become a
self-sustainable entity as it generates its power and energy from the continuous
spiral loop characteristic of the methodology. SWREM stands for “spiral with
ripple effect motion”, a concept inspired by the spiral features of the “shell” and
adopted by the CYDFI Founders in the design of the methodology.
Figures 2 and 9 in the proceeding pages are key elements in understanding
SWREM Theory In Action and shall graphically demonstrate the flow and logic
of the “Crusade Against Abject Poverty In The Philippine Rural Areas” which is
the ultimate effect of the Scholarship Program Model of the Foundation (CYDFI).
For further and deeper understanding on the design of the methodology, the
following discussion on the Principles of SWREM Theory In action is offered:
A. Reflective Discussion on Principles of SWREM Theory In Action
Understanding of SWREM Theory In Action is based upon a perspective
generated from the “shell” of which each layer is designated a key concept to
represent a “value” or “principle” that a scholar should learn to understand and
apply to one’s own perspective and value formation to guide him/her through in
the carry out of the Mission of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc.

Figure 2
Some Principles Underlying
SWREM Theory In Action
“Spiral With Ripple Effect Motion”
Who Am I?
Insights for Discussion*
The “shell” illustration indicates the different principles that a “scholar/youth” should recognize that “I
am who I am with a potential to become who I want to be. If I know who I want to be, I would feel
good about it and my self-esteem is enhanced. If my self-esteem is high, I begin to aspire for something
more than I thought I am capable of and in so doing, I give direction to my life. As I direct my life, I
am making a choice, I exercise my freedom. I realize, at the same time, while I exercise my choice that
I can say yes or no, to any given situation. If I say no, I exercise my freedom negatively. If I say yes, I
exercise my freedom positively. And when I exercise my freedom, I will hopefully use it positively in
doing good for others like in the service of those youth who need my “help” the most. In so doing, I
become socially responsible”. So, doing good for others is a choice because man is gifted with freewill.
This is what CYDFI hopes for to inspire its scholars to be imbedded with this moral principle and
guide them through their success in life as they learn to become socially responsible.
* “Shell” Concept Model is designed by CYDFI Founders and it is their basis for developing the CYDFI Methodology called
“SWREM Theory In Action”. SWREM stands for “Spiral With Ripple Effect Motion”.

1. I Am Who I Am
I am an intelligent and caring person, full of dignity as a human being,
being at my best self in search for deeper meaning in life. I am a person with
potential capable of doing things to effect the quality of my life. My potential is
like a seed when planted in the garden of life can grow and bloom. It can further
grow and bloom with good and right amount of nourishment and with the water of
life. I am a seed that needs support to grow and develop into a tree to bear fruits
for others to eat. Just like a good tree, I can be of good use to others. I can only
discover myself for “who I am” when I begin to unmask myself behind the prism
of my life that tends to give color on people I meet along my way. I don’t seem to
see the goodness in their hearts for my eyes are blocked by my “prism” in life. I
have the tendency of seeing another for “what he can be and not, for what he is”.
If I will use a magnifying simple glass, not necessarily a powerful one, I will
discover a painful truth that I tend to “objectify” another person by reducing him
into the “what-ness” rather than “who-ness” of his personhood. This leads me to
become insensitive to his needs and concerns because “what-ness” connotes a
material object that is devoid of “feelings” (which only a human heart can give)
and is considered, inhuman. Human as I am, I tend to reduce “human being”,
sometimes, into the level of thing (because of the secularistic attitude I develop in
time in my life). For when I focus more my attention and use the term “what”
instead of “who” when I relate to others, unconsciously I treat the other, as thing,
because “what” connotes a thing. And, a thing does not have “feelings”. Human
beings have feelings and are by nature have “feelings” because they have hearts to
feel and to love, endowed with a capacity to love and be loved. Since a person has
feelings, he can get hurt by my insensitivity. The fact that I have the “what”
attitude, I unconsciously used this oftentimes in the inner circle of my daily
conversation and I become guilty of this unmindfulness even disrespect to the
dignity of the person, as a human being. “What-he-can-be” can also mean to say
that I am more interested into the “things” what the person can do rather than
“who, this person can be” to connote sensitivity and respect to his dignity, as a
human being. More so, on the issue of “what-he-is” rather than “who-he-is” can
have a mix interplay that often leads to further “objectification” of his personhood.
When I make attempts to understand a person with respect to his personhood,
I have to be aware of his dignity, by having at the back of my mind, “who
he is” and not “what he is”. So, every time I see a person sitting next to me, I see
a person because “he is for who he is and not what I think he is or he can be”.
When I learn to see a person for “who he is and not what he is and what I think he
should be or can be”, I will discover the splendor and beauty of every person I
meet in my life. I can only begin to see the splendor and glory of every person if I
allow myself to let go of the prism in me that gives color effect to every person I
meet along my way. Persons are like gifts that are wrapped differently; some are
6

tight, some loosely and some beautifully. It I accept them as gifts, I may be able to
find the beauty and meaning in these gifts wrapped differently because they are
for “who they are”. “I am who I am” is the nature of what makes a person, a
person is and his personhood elevates his dignity as a human being that calls for
our utmost respect and sensitivity to his needs and concerns.
2. Potentiality
Unfolding to understand the very nature of man is like unfolding the
potentiality innate in him. It is man’s nature to have an innate potential that needs
to be tapped, nurtured and nourished. Potentiality is like a seed that needs to be
planted in the garden, nourish it with necessary ingredients to make the seed grow
slowly as you water and take care of it until it grows into fullness of maturity.
This potentiality is like a power when unleashed into the universe could create a
ripple effect to generate personal and community growth and development.
Cognizant to the fact that a person is he “who he is and not what you think
he is or can be” situates him to better understand his nature as he truly is. Devoid
of the prism that tends to block us from seeing his nature brings us to realization
that he is himself a potential and full of potentiality. This potentiality in him is
innate and is powerful because he is himself a power. This power has to be
harnessed by the person himself and nourish it with direction through good
education. Power is powerless without a direction through good education. Power
is powerless without a direction. Potentiality remains useless without being fully
developed and put into use. Every youth has a potential. This potential in him
should be nurtured and nourished with good nutrients to make it grow and sustain
that growth into fullness of maturity. When the youth reaches the fullness of his
maturity, his potentiality will be seamlessly unfolded and can become who he
wants to be and become. That is his potentiality. He has the power to make things
happen.
3. To Become
This third layer of the shell may be seen as a person who reaches a level of
awareness that he is an individual being who has the potential to become. “To
become” as a concept is closely associated with potentiality that connotes of a
power coming out from the self emanating from the “potentiality.” It has the
capacity to generate a steam to propel itself into a direction and may lead to a
realization of achieving its goal and objective of becoming of what it wants to
become. Meaning, when a youth enters into the CYDF Scholarship Program, he is
in a situation where he has the confidence of making it through the scholarship
being aware that he has the power generated from within him. This power from
within is very critical for him to recognize as this will give him the courage and
inspiration to move on and confront the many challenges that he is going to
7

encounter in the pursuit of achieving a successful career in life. Consequently, he
sets his mind into doing his best to ultimately achieve what he wants to
accomplish academically through the CYDF Scholarship Program. “To become”
as an action word is another ingredient of a healthy seed of CYDF Scholarship in
the making. For if the recipient of the scholarship comes to a point of becoming
aware of this principle “to become,’ then he has a tool to become successful in life
through the CYDF Scholarship Program, “helping him help himself, thus being
able to help others when his due time comes.”
4. Who I Want To Be
A person is he who is and who has the potential to become of who he wants
to be. This is the height of a realization that a person has a dignity and as such is a
declaration of his dignity as a human being. This dignity is imbedded in his ability
to exercise his will, his choice, his freedom. This dignity is what makes a person,
a person is. When a person loses his ability to exercise his freedom, he has lost
his dignity. The lost of his freedom is his choice and not something taken away
from him. Freedom is lost when a person refuses to be responsible as a
consequence of his actions. Being responsible is like a masterpiece of art work
broken into pieces because the artist refuses to acknowledge that his art work is a
masterpiece. Meaning, in exercising my freedom I could decide to acknowledge
or refuse to acknowledge the merit of my art work. When I refuse to
acknowledge, I exercise my freedom negatively and this is called “freedom from”
and when I exercise to acknowledge the merit of my art work, I exercise my
freedom positively and this is called “freedom for.” When you exercise your
freedom negatively, you are said to be irresponsible because you refuse to
acknowledge the merit of your art work. And you are said to be responsible
because you acknowledge the merit of your art work. You are said to be
responsible too because you have the ability to respond to a call. The call is like a
vocation for you to become who you want to be in life, “Who I want to be” and
this becomes your destiny. Destiny is a truth about how you respond to your call.
5. Self-Esteem
When a person has reached a level of consciousness and is more aware of
his individuality that “he is for who he is and has the potential to become in
who he wants to be,” he has come to a point of experiencing his
self-actualization. Self-actualization is the end product of a process in man’s
search for meaning in life and this search for meaning in life is meant for an
individual to develop his potentiality to the fullest so he could enjoy the very
essence of his existence and can become capable of transcending the realities of
his life. As an individual person, he begins to feel good about himself as he is
going through the process of change, rising above himself as he explores all his
8

possibilities and experience the potentiality in him, making him feel empowered
and experiencing the power within him that he is capable of doing anything. Now,
it becomes a matter of choice whether he would use that power within him “for”
or “from” an articulation of his choice. It is almost a distinct possibility that when
a person utilizes his choice positively, that he would start feeling good about
himself because this is the time when the person begins to learn to become
“other-centered” as he learns to recognize his own individuality. Self-esteem is
defined as how good you feel about yourself and a good recipe is to learn to
become other-centered.
6. Aspiration
Feeling good about oneself doesn’t happen by any chance neither is an end
caused by coincidence nor is a supernatural act but by every effort made by an
individual in working hard to become a better person as he begins to recognize his
innate capacity to become who he wants to be. This is his self-esteem and his
self-esteem drives him to aspire and begins to work on his aspiration no matter
what the cost may be. As his self-esteem propels him to become who he wants to
be, he becomes eventually a spirited, dynamic and inspired person. A spirited
person is one whose self-esteem is high, as they say. A dynamic person is one who
never gets tired and never dare to retire for he always finds time to do anything to
cause a positive change upon himself and those around him. He is and becomes a
change agent or an agent of change. And an inspired person is one who
experiences of being a self-propelled, self-motivated and self-steamed, causing
him to cause motion of his life for he always finds himself engaged in doing
something positive and productive to make a difference of his life and those
around him. This is his aspiration. He always tries to reach out for others to affect
them positively by doing something good for them that cause him to feel good
about doing. Any individual whose self-esteem is high enables him to aspire and
look forward to attaining for his aspiration, that is “to become who he wants to
be” in life. Aspiration is a ray of hope in man’s life guiding him like a compass to
finally direct him as he strives working hard to reach for his destination. “I aspire
to be who I want to be” because it makes me feel good about who I am, an
individual with dignity as a human being.
7. To Direct My Life
As the person enters the consciousness of his aspiration, he begins to become
more aware that his aspiration is not something given but to be discovered
that it is already “within” him as a person. A person aspires because his consciousness
provides him the opportunity to explore and direct him as he sees it fit
reflecting his values, needs and concerns as an individual and social being. When
a person sees the flicker of light in his horizon reflected by his aspiration, he is in
9

a position to smooth sail the direction of his life. There may be some barriers that
may come his way, but being aware that he has the capacity to transcend them, he
could still steer his direction somewhere he wants to direct his life. And, that is his
choice.
8. Choice – Freedom
A person who has the consciousness of “who he is with a potential to
become of who he wants to be” will make him feel good about himself and
eventually, would enable him to aspire to improve himself. In the process of
pursuing his aspiration, he is evidently exercising his ability to make a choice.
Making a choice is an exercise of one’s own fundamental right, nothwithstanding
his right to be free. This freedom being the ideal reason why so many braved the
shore ready to give up their life for the beloved motherland in times of war is
innate in every person as a rational being. There are two ways in which a person
can exercise his freedom and these are “freedom for” which is an exercise of
freedom positively and “freedom from” which is an exercise of freedom
negatively. An exercise of “freedom for” is the best tool to help direct a person’s
life. The exercise of freedom is the best expression of one’s innerself especially
when you make a choice to direct your life either for good or otherwise.
9. To do good for others
“To do good for others” is an ultimate choice any individual is capable of
doing. His capacity “to do good for others” is evoked from “within,” emanating
from the core feeling of wanting to do something for others. There is always a
burning desire connected with the intention of making a big difference in your
life. Sometimes, it’s not easy to do good for others. You may mean well but you
could always be misunderstood for your good intention of doing good for others
can be as challenging as not when you’re not doing anything at all. But if you
made your choice to always do some good things for others, it will certainly make
a big difference. “Doing good for others” is always a matter of choice. It is an
exercise of your freedom. It is a reflection of your choice to express your freedom
positively. So, as a human being, the height of your responsibility is to exercise
your freedom “to do good for others.” This is what is meant to be “socially
responsible,” and the vision of the Foundation.
Endowed with a choice to do good for others, especially to those less
privileged youths in need of empowerment through the Scholarship Program of
the Foundation, is a powerful tool for man to change his world for the better. Each
person has a power to come out of one’s best self and help effect a positive
change and make a difference in the life of youths, for the future belongs to the
youths and the youths hold the light of the future with ardent passion to help make
a difference in their life and those around them, as they learn to become socially
responsible manifested in an “other-centered” attitude of their life.

B. Implications of SWREM Theory In Action
1. Personal Growth and Development: A Self-
Actualization of Potential to the Fullest
I am who I am with a potential to become
who I want to be. If I know who I want to be, I
would feel good about myself and my selfesteem
is enhanced. If my self-esteem is high, I
begin to aspire for something more than I
thought I am capable of and in so doing, I give
direction to my life. As I direct my life, I am
making a choice, I exercise my freedom. I
realize, at the same time, while I exercise my
choice that I can say yes or no, to any given
situation. If I say no, I exercise my freedom
negatively. If I say yes, I exercise my freedom
positively. And when I exercise my freedom, I
will hopefully use it positively in doing good for
others like in the service of those youth who
need my “help” the most. Then, I become
socially responsible. This is what the Founder
calls a “Within Process” of personal growth.
As a socially responsible being, “I have
the capacity to respond, the power to answer to a
call”. The call that CYDFI would like to respond
to is to help address “abject poverty” in the
Philippine rural areas. Abject poverty is a “call”
that humanity needs to respond to. As an
individual, having developed our full potential,
we are also called to share in addressing abject
poverty, especially to those indigent but
deserving talented youths in rural communities.
Our full potential is unfolded when we, as an
“individual and social being” aspects of our
humanity come to light.
It now becomes an issue of whether we will use our “freedom or choice” positively
or not. Knowing that we have a “choice”, CYDFI Founders believe in empowering
youths to help them help themselves through a Scholarship Program Model so they can
help incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of poverty as they learn to become
socially responsible, with implications not only to personal but community growth and
development, and to promote replication advocacy of this model to other communities in
the rural areas.
11
Figure 3
Development of Full Potential
Unfolded During
The “Within Process” of Personal Growth

2. Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
Cycle of Poverty is assumed to be
broken when the scholar has passed
through Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the
CYDFI Scholarship Program and
becomes productive immediately after
college education in about 8-10 years.
This is the key turning point when
Scholarship Program is propelled
towards self-sustainability, thus:
“Towards Growth/Development in the
Community”.
Breaking of the Cycle of Poverty
becomes then a consequence of the
success of the methodology implemented
among the youth in the community. It is
a proactive approach towards addressing
the issue of abject poverty where youths
are empowered to help them help themselves
so they can help others as they
learn to become socially responsible.

As youth develops his full potential to
become the best of what he is capable of being
and becoming, he gains inner strength and
develops the value of being a socially responsible
being. As he enjoys the rhythm of good and
productive life, he shares something back to the
community through the Foundation of helping
incoming new scholars. The continuous loop of
“ripple effect” of the Scholarship Program will
sustain the motion forward and towards breaking
the cycle of poverty not only to the youth but to
the community.
Scholar
3. Community Growth and Development
When a CYDFI Scholar has been through a
“WITHIN” Process, s/he will eventually move on to
continue to follow the path towards carrying the torch
of the “Crusade Against Abject Poverty in Philippine
Rural Areas”, in which case when this is done on a
continuous loop basis, the effect can be felt in the
community because the “Spiral With Ripple Effect
Motion” of the CYDFI Methodology (SWREM
Theory In Action) will start steaming its own power
and energy and able to propel itself. This will happen
when “CYDFI Scholars” will begin “fulfilling” their
“Contract” to help, at least one or two, new incoming
scholars of the Foundation. When they are done
fulfilling their “Contract”, any financial help coming
from them becomes “voluntary” in nature. So, they
become “Crusaders” voluntarily. Hopefully, they will
continue to join, then, the “Crusade Against Abject
Poverty In The Philippine Rural Areas” and share it
with other communities like a chain reaction.

When the Scholarship
Program of the Foundation
has reached its
momentum, the community
will feel the “ripple
effect” of growth
coming from within.
The community will
feel empowered and to
be self-empowered.

4. Community Empowerment To Self-Empowerment
Another important feature of the CYDFI
Scholarship Program, it empowers the community to
come together in support of the Satellite Program that
is being implemented in the barrio, knowing that whatever
financial resources they raise and generate will
benefit directly their own scholars and the main
responsibility they only have is to have the “financial
resources raised and spent be matched with accurate
bookkeeping and the fund, on hand”. This same
financial record and bookkeeping and fund on hand
should match, especially during annual Auditing by a
3rd party, the CPA and all records shall be supported
with documents like receipts and/or notes of activities,
duly signed by an authorized representative of the
Satellite Program in the community.
The only time when a Satellite Program shall be
asked by the main Office (CYDFI Philippines) for
financial support is when some of the activities of the
main Office shall involve directly the Satellite
Program activities, which can be negotiated and
defined in the future between the Satellite Program
Office and the main Office of the Foundation.
5. Ripple Effect to Other Rural Communities
Other communities can benefit from the
Scholarship Program Model by replicating it and
will be designated as Satellite Programs of the
Foundation. A Satellite Program shall have the
independence of “raising and spending its own
scholarship revenue” and CYDFI shall be responsible
for monitoring the former’s financial activities
thru audit by a CPA as part of the latter’s annual
report to BIR, then to SEC (Manila), in exchange for
the Satellite Program to get tax-credits for its direct
donors through the Foundation, as a registered
nonprofit organization.
This modality creates a sense of ownership
and incentives to the supporters of Scholarship to the
Satellite Program because all its financial resources
are raised and spent for the youth scholars in the
respective community.
13
Fig.6: Community Empowerment
The diagram indicates that
when Scholarship Program reaches
its level of maturity of operation, the
community will start “feeling” the
impact of growth and will continue
to do so until one day, there will be a
pool of socially responsible leaders
in whose only Mission is to continue
helping to address abject poverty in
the community. As community feels
empowered, it will eventually
become self-empowered due to the
inspiration caused by the Mission of
the Foundation.

6. Towards Self-Sustainability
In about 8-10 years of operation, SWREM Theory In Action will be able to reap a
harvest of the fruits of its labor when CYDFI Scholars shall have passed through the
portals of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the CYDFI Scholarship Program Model. The following
Cycle 1 (Phases 1 & 2) of the CYDFI Scholarship Program shall graphically demonstrate
the process on how self-sustainability is attained and further analysis is needed to have a
better picture of the projected movement of the Scholarship Program:
Fg.8: Towards Self-Sustainability Cycle 1 (Phases 1 & 2), SY 2003-2014 Cycle 2, SY 2007-2015

Upon gainful employment after college education, youth is
expected to fulfill the “Contract” of helping at least, one or two
new incoming CYDFI Scholars, creating a “ripple effect” of
growth… and when such a process moves on a “continuous spiral
loop basis”, it will enable the Foundation to develop a capacity to
propel itself as a result of the dynamic and vibrant effect of
“SWREM Theory In Action”. This is the stage when CYDFI will
experience self-sustainability and able to generate power and
energy to provide more direction towards growth and development
in the community.

15
The key principle in trying to help address abject poverty in the Philippine rural areas is “to empower indigent but deserving
talented youths through a Scholarship Program Model with a methodology called “SWREM Theory In Action”, designed
to help them help themselves so they can help incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of poverty as they
learn to become socially responsible, with implications not only to personal but community growth and
development; and, to promote replication advocacy of said model in other rural communities.
The continuous spiral loop characterisctic of the model becomes the engine to propel forward the movement of the Crusade.

III. Management and Organization of CYDFI Scholarship Program Model
As a nonprofit organization, the Foundation is managed by the members of the Board
of Directors from whom a group of nine (9) members of Board of Trustees are elected.
Executive Officers are elected from the Board of Trustees. This process takes place
during the annual Board Meeting in Calantas. Further understanding of this procedure
is found in the By-Laws of the Foundation.
A. Management of CYDFI Scholarship Program Model
All scholarship programs, including those replication scholarship programs in
other communities, are within the mission parameter of the Foundation:
“to empower indigent but deserving talented youths living in abject
poverty in the Philippine rural areas help them help themselves so they can help
incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of poverty as they learn to
become socially responsible, with implications not only to personal but
community growth and development, and to promote replication advocacy of
said model in other rural communities”.
Based on the principle of the Mission Statement, the process for which a
community or body of organization wanting to work in collaboration with the
Foundation, shall be referred to as a “CYDFI Satellite Scholarship Program Model”
beginning with Barrio Benedicto, officially designated as ‘CYDFI-Benedicto Satellite
Scholarship Program Model 001” with the following parameters of relationship:
1. A document on Protocol of Implementation of the Scholarship Program is to be
designed and has to be approved by the CYDFI Board of Directors, during their
Annual Board Meeting in Calantas, Floridablanca, Pampanga. Please, log on at
www.cydf821philippines.com and click on CYDFI-Benedicto Satellite Scholarship
Program Model 001 as the first replication project of the Foundation in Bo. Benedicto.
2. When operational per protocol established, a Satellite Scholarship Program is
independent from the main scholarship program of the Foundation in Calantas and
Nabuclod in terms of the ACTUAL FINANCIAL ACTIVITY of the said Satellite
Program EXCEPT that the said Satellite Program is responsible to accurately
document its financial activity (Raising and Spending of Funds for Scholarship and this
is where the Foundaiton (CYDFI) shall monitor and have the records financially
audited prior to the filing of the Annual Income Tax Return of the Foundation to the
BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) and to submit all records and reports to SEC (one
month after the Annual Board Meeting of the Board of Directors in August).
3. As a Satellite Program of the Foundation, all donations (cash or in kind) can be
claimed as tax-credit for all donors providing support to the Mission of the Scholarship
Program, facilitated by the Officers of the Satellite Program. All receipts of donation
must bear the name of the Foundation which shall be issued to the donor upon making
the donation to the Satellite Scholarship Program and such financial activities of the
Satellite Scholarship Program shall be audited by a CPA, an accredited member of the
Board of Accountancy, as an integral part of the CYDFI Financial Statement.
4. In summary, the Officers of a Satellite Scholarship Program shall be responsible and
accountable for generating FUND of the scholarship, with all financial transactions
authenticated with OFFICIAL RECEIPTS of the Foundation. Likewise, this same
FUND can only be used for the intended beneficiaries. Receipts and bookkeeping
records should match the FUND and accounted for during auditing by a CPA prior to
BIR filing of Income Tax Return of the Foundation, afterwhich a summary annual
report shall be submitted to SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission in Manila).

IV. Resource Development and Accountability (Bookkeeping & Auditing)
A. Generate Revenue Through Fundraising Activities
Per Art.7 of the CYDFI Handbook on Strategies in Generating
Support, the Foundation is planning to explore different strategies to
generate revenue and resources to be able to implement Phase 2 (College)
and Phase 3 (Graduate School) of the CYDFI Scholarship program. Phase 1
(High School) is funded by the CYDFI Founders and some interested
members of the Mendoza Family.
Bookkeeping and Auditing shall be strictly enforced to sustain the
integrity of the Foundation and to carry out its Mission as it engages itself
in fundraising activities in the Philippines and in the USA/Abroad.
The following are considered potential resources in the implementation
of Phases 2 and 3 of the CYDFI Scholarship Program Model:
s1: Adopt-A-Scholar Grant and Criteria
This Grant is open to any benefactor who would like to support a
“scholar-to-be” with a privilege to have the NAME of the Grant
named after the ”sponsor” like “Joeluck Scholarship Grant”
and should specify which Phase of the CYDFI Scholarship
Program s/he is donating the scholarship such as: (1) Phase 1:
High School, (2) Phase 2: College and/or (3) Phase 3:
Graduate School.
1. A benefactor must specify which Phase of the Scholarship
Program is s/he interested to make the sponsorship with.
2. S/he must make a commitment to fully support the CYDFI
Scholar’s educational needs based on the agreed upon
budget on the Phase Level of the Scholarship chosen.
3. Communicate with CYDFI President/Committee for any
concern in the Program.
4. Communicate officially to the recipients of the Grant
through the CYDFI and in turn, CYDFI staff will facilitate
benefactor-scholarship recipient communication on a
person-to-person meeting at the CYDFI Office in Calantas.
5. Scholarshp recipient shall have to observe Criteria for
Maintaining of the CYDFI Scholarship Program Model.
6. Benefactors need to be aware that this effort is being done
to maximize effectively the “Grant” being provided to the
“beneficiary”.
7. The Scholarship Grant is purely professional and
humanitarian so as to empower indigent but deserving
talented youth help himself so he can help incoming
scholars leading to breaking one’s cycle of poverty as he
learns to become socially responsible.
19

s2: Endowment
An endowment may be sought and established in honor of a
benefactor who wishes to create a special instruction on how the
donation is going to be spent to benefit the youths in Calantas, and
Nabuclod Aetas in their Phase 2: College Education through the
CYDFI Scholarship Program Model.
s3: Individual Financial Pledge/Contribution/Donation
This strategy is designed to encourage individuals who are
not in tune into “adopt-a-scholar-grant model” to make some
financial donations which can be tax-deductible. The money
generated from this strategy will be deposited in Phase 2: College
Scholarship Fund of the Foundation, which can be tapped to
support expenses of the CYDFI Scholars.
s4: CES Alumni Membership Fee Drive
Every effort will be made to keep track of the Calantas
Elementary School Alumni and may be tapped as a potential
resource for funding through membership fee drive. The fee
generated will be deposited in the Phase 2: College Scholarship
Fund which can be tapped to support and augment school;-related
expenses of the CYDFI Scholars in Calantas and Nabuclod.
s5: Organization of Social Events and Cultural Shows
CYDFI Staff and concerned citizens of the community can
come together to organize social events and cultural shows to
generate revenues with a purpose of doing fundraising to augment
the budget of the CYDFI and all generated revenues shall be
deposited to the Phase 2: College Scholarship Fund of the
Foundation which can be tapped as a resource to support schoolrelated
expenses of the CYDFI Scholars in Calantas and Nabuclod.
s6: Albertson’s Community Partners’ Club
• Program Benefits:
1. Receive up to 4% of each supporter’s Preferred Savings
Card eligible purchases. You can contribute on just
about everything EXCEPT the following items: prescriptions,
alcohol, tobacco, stamps and money orders.
2. Contributions apply to merchandise sales after discounts,
coupons and sales tax.
3. Contributions may be subject to a quarterly cap and an
administrative fee will also be deducted from the
Foundation’s quarterly check.
• Money generated from this fundraising shall be deposited
to the Phase 2: College Scholarship Fund of the Scholars
in Calantas and Nabuclod Aeta Community.
• Other business entities with similar supportive fundraising
programs for nonprofit organizations shall likewise be
tapped.
20

s7: Scholarship Proposal to Other Foundations
Grant proposals shall be developed to seek funding from
other Foundations both in the Philippines and abroad/USA
whose officers might share the vision of the CYDFI in
implementing the Scholarship Program Model. The likelihood
of getting support from other Foundations is positive.
s8: Scholarship Grant Proposals to Public and Private Schools
“In and Around” the Philippines and possible “Fellowship
and/or Scholarship Grant Applications Abroad/USA.
This strategy might be the key to getting more scholarship
grants from Public and Private Schools in Central Luzon
and around the country. A CYDFI scholar will be given every
opportunity where his/her field of interest is available.
Depending upon the extent of their support and
response, there is likelihood that CYDFI will have its own
scholars enrolled in these higher learning institutions. In the
same manner, graduate fellowship and/or scholarship grant
application opportunities will be sough abroad, i.e., USA.
B. Resource Development Per SWREM Theory In Action
The continuous spiral loop characteristic of the methodology as demonstrated in Fig. 9
on page 15 indicates that in no time, the Foundation will generate and be able to have its own
capacity to sustain itself. The key component in determining that this will certainly take place is
in the part of the process of implementing the “CYDFI Scholarship Program Contract” by
the Scholars, once they become productive after their college education. SWREM Theory In
Action, as a methodology, directs the outcome of the CYDFI Scholarship Program Model to
become self-sustainable by having the built-in mechanism to develop its own resource capacitybuilding
to support its own operation.
1. Immediate “Resource” Development
This will be materialized when scholars will start coming back to comply with
their Scholarship Program Contract of helping, at least, one or two new incoming
CYDFI Scholars. The continuous process of contract compliance of the scholars will
pave the way for “resource growth and development” of the scholarship.
2. Long-Term “Resource” Development for the Aetas in Nabuclod
Beyond their compliance with the Contract, scholars are expected to rise above
their feeling of having complied with their Contract but should have been then “must
have developed an attitude of being able to also do and have the capacity to continue
doing of helping the Foundation in its Crusade Against Abject Poverty in the Philippine
rural areas. At this stage of their immersion in the Mission of the Foundation, they are
expected to focus their “helping attitude” towards building a “resource capacity” to
benefit the Aetas in Nabuclod and other Aetas in neighboring communities.
Eventually, CYDFI Scholars will learn to become and assume responsible
leadership not only in the operation of the Foundation but “to help make a difference
and positive change in the life of youths” in the community and the country, in general.
21

Part II
A Protocol of Implementation of the
CYDFI-Sinagtala’87 Satellite Scholarship Program Model
AUF College of Nursing, Angeles City, Philippines
I. Introduction
It shall be noted that each CYDFI Satellite Scholarship Program Model is
guided by the same principle articulated in the Mission Statement of the Calantas
Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc., that is:
“to empower indigent but deserving talented youths help themselves
so they can help incoming scholars leading to breaking their cycle of
poverty as they learn to become socially responsible, with
implications not only to personal but community growth and
development; and to promote replication advocacy of said model in
other rural communities in the Philippines”.
However, the same Mission of the Foundation can also be applied to a
“different setting other than the rural areas” such as either an organization or
alumni willing to be guided by the same principle and translate the mission into
action to a defined and specific “target” population like the one being articulated
in this Proposal, i.e., “nursing students” at the Angeles University Foundation.
Strategies on how to effectively implement each CYDFI Satellite
Scholarship Program may differ due to specific needs of the “target population”
but will still be within the parameters of the Mission of the Foundation of
“helping deserving talented youths help themselves so they can help incoming
scholars” on a continuous loop basis per SWREM Theory In Action.
The criteria for selecting a “scholarship recipient” in an academic setting
may differ from the criteria used in the rural areas like Calantas, Benedicto and
more so, from among the Aetas in Nabuclod and other Aeta communities.
The proposed project “CYDFI - Sinagtala’87 Satellite Scholarship Program
Model” will be implemented at the College of Nursing in Angeles University
Foundation, Angeles City, Philippines. Although the “qualified” scholarship
recipients come from the College of Nursing at the University, the project itself
will not be under the management of the University nor the College of Nursing. It
will be a project of the Sinagtala’87 members in collaboration with the Calantas
Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc.
The nature of relationship between the CYDFI and the Sinagtala’87 is a
collaboration, as far as the Scholarship Program being proposed is concerned.
Some of the highlights of this collaboration are further discussed in the following
presentation which embodies a document to be referred to as: “A Protocol of
Implementation” of the CYDFI-Sinagtala ‘87 Satellite Scholarship Program
Model at AUF College of Nursing, Angeles City, Philippines.
22

II. Administrative Parameters
The following are parameters for which the “Project Proposal” shall have to
be seen administratively to effectively implement the “Protocol” of the CYDFI-
Sinagtala’87 Satellite Scholarship Program Model at AUF College of Nursing:
1. The Project Proposal
This document is a “Project Proposal” being submitted to the general
membership of the AUFCON Sinagtala’87 Alumni, on the occasion of
their 20th Year of Reunion in San Diego, CA, as a legacy of their success
in the practice of their nursing profession in the United States of America.
It is being presented by the CYDFI Founders (Antonio M. and Rita
Nabong-Mendoza) in cooperation with some Sinagtala’87 Alumni, i.e. Sol
and Roel Banal. This “Project Proposal” is meant to explore the potential
of the general membership of the AUFCON Singatala’87 to provide
“Scholarship” to deserving talented nursing students at the AUF College
