Shell
Mission:
Education-Sanayan sa Kakayahang Industriyal (SKIL) (1983-present)
SKIL was a fitting response to the widespread unemployment problem amongst productive
youth and the growing demand for middle-level craftsmen here and overseas. It benefits
deserving out-of-school youths trained in various technical-vocational courses such as
Automotive Servicing, Welding, Pipefitting, Basic Computing, Food & Beverage Servicing; and
Small Engine, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Repair.
SKIL scholars are trained in technical schools accredited by the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority.
Gas Mo, Bukas Ko (GMBK) (2007-present)
GMBK is a programme collaboration among Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation-Retail,
Shell Dealers led by the Association of Pilipinas Shell Dealers, Inc., and PSFI. It aims to
provide a better future for Shell station staff through technical-vocational trainings.
GMBK scholars take up courses offered by training partners, all of which are accredited by
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. Course offerings include
Automotive Servicing, Computer Hardware Servicing, Motorcycle Repair, Welding, Basic
Computer, Bookkeeping, Electronics, and Food & Beverage Servicing.

managerial and supervisory positions.
Shell-PhilDev Scholarship Programme (2013-present)
PSFI, in partnership with the Philippine S&T Development Foundation – Manila, Inc.
(PhilDev), has been supporting scholars taking up Science and Engineering courses from
various schools all over the country since 2013. The scholarship aims to help Filipino youth
in pursuing their studies, enabling them to innovate and create technologies, products, and
services that can compete in the global markets and stimulate further economic growth for
the Philippines.
Livelihood-Sanayan sa Kakayahang Agrikultura (SAKA) (1985-2013)
SAKA, offered to sons and daughters of farming families with small land holdings, was an
agricultural skills training programme designed to improve farm productivity and
management of either lowland or upland farming. It was also intended to help alter the
stigma placed in farming, and the lack of interest of young people to invest their future in the
farm.
Integrated Farming Bio-Systems (IFBS) (1989-present)
To update farmers on the latest environment-friendly and organic farming technologies,
PSFI introduced Integrated Farming Bio-Systems (IFBS) designed to promote the
sustainable benefits of crop production and animal agro-forestry, conversion of farm wastes
into bio-organic fertilizers with microbial inoculants, and farm entrepreneurship. Training
modules are elective based on the needs and interests of participants; among which are
Soil Fertility Management, Restructuring and Conservation, Organic Fertiliser Production,
Agroforestry, Crop and Animal Production, Farm Planning, and Entrepreneurship.
Besides updating farmers’ skills, IFBS also provides agriculture-based livelihood training to
farmers’ spouses and dependents.
*IFBS training sessions are usually conducted in Shell Training Farms in Bombon,
Camarines Sur and Pililla, Rizal.
Sanayan sa Kakayahang Pangangalakal (SKP) (1994-present)
SKP provides residents in poverty-stricken areas the technical assistance and access to
microcredit necessary to establish and expand small enterprises. As such, SKP helps
improve income, especially in areas where employment opportunities are limited.
Health and sanitation- Movement Against Malaria (MAM) (1999-present)
PSFI co-implemented Kilusan Ligtas Malaria (KLM), a malaria prevention and control
programme, with the Provincial Government of Palawan in 1999. The successful
implementation of the programme led PSFI to receive a grant from the Global Fund to Fight
AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in 2006. Dubbed the Movement Against Malaria (MAM),
the programme expanded its coverage from 5 to 40 endemic provinces by 2010 and due to
favorable results, decreased to 13 by 2015.
Philippine Business Sector Response to HIV/AIDS (PBSR) (2009-present)
PSFI, together with partners from the government, business sector, and multilateral
organisations, founded the Philippine Business Sector Response to HIV/AIDS (PBSR) in
2009 as a response to the growing HIV epidemic in the country.
PBSR seeks to catalyse workplace-based interventions through a private-sector led
initiative in an effort to help curb HIV among workplace actors.
Environment- Empowering women
The Subic Social Baseline Study commissioned by The Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-Power
Project Phase 3 (MP3) Project team also showed that there is a need to enhance livelihood
opportunities for women, hence Project GANDA, or “Galing at Negosyo, Dulot ay Asenso”
was implemented. This is a capacity-building program for women that will empower them to
take a decisive role in uplifting the economic status of their community. GANDA conducts
trainings on personal grooming, culinary arts, food processing, sewing, product development and
other trainings.

Livelihood FARMER’S TRAINING
Farming Hope
We help bring back hope in farming by updating the agricultural knowledge of our farmers
through the Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan Farmers’ Training Program. For 12 weeks, farmers are
taught on effective backyard planting and small-scale farming techniques for fruits and
vegetables. This helps improve the quality and quantity of their crops as well as provide organic
food for their families. We also assist farmers who form cooperatives by linking them to local
markets and SM suppliers for a more stable source of income.
