Vibal Foundation

Vibal Foundation is the non-profit philanthropic arm of Vibal Publishing House, Inc.

The Foundation fosters the development of knowledge, nurtures individual creativity, empowers communities, and provides knowledge to the public, primarily through support for digital media. The Foundation was established by Esther A. Vibal, president of vphi, as a means to undertake various educational, social, and cultural programs that will improve the quality of life of Filipinos, especially the youth.

The Foundation is committed to uphold the tradition of excellence which Hilarion P. Vibal, co-founder of vphi, established throughout his lifetime. He won a scholarship to the University of the Philippines and became one of the first English-writing journalists. Eventually, he co-founded a publishing house which became a major force in education. “Local boy makes good and so should others,” he believed.
