I realized how social enterprising can help create a better system for people who want to start sustainable solutions to support the needs of different people.” – Jerome Irabagon, Bukluran
Through research, (e.g., desk research, surveys, consultations), CSOs have better chances of lobbying for policies that promote or support the constituents and address their issues and concerns. There are available tools and strategies to effectively deliver messages to different groups such as policymakers, the general public, and other actors. This increases the chances of the proposed policy being approved whether on the local or national level.” - Michael Vincent Mercado, Center for Disaster Preparedness “I learned the ABCs of self-care, awareness, balance and connection. I became aware of my limitations and at the same time thrive harder despite these limitations. Being in the moment and having focus are also good reminders for me.” – Raddith M. Saldaña, Child Alert Mindanao

Linking and Learning was
delivered in a style that we could relate

We adopted what we learned in the Linking and Learning session on how to manage finances, enabling us to wisely managed our finances. Otherwise, we would have continued to lose money.”
Relevant programs such as psychosocial support ensured continued participation in the Linking and Learning activities.”
Linking and Learning is the right place to address the need to learn about the new situation and new environment, to stay empowered and learn new strategies to deal with the new normal. It also makes you confident that you are doing the right thing.”
“
The Linking and Learning online activities introduced creative online tools that we can use to continue our advocacies.”
Over the years of project implementation, everyone in the Voice PH community had their share of stories to tell of amplified voices, mutual learning, empowerment, and innovative solutions to name a few. But the Voice Linking and Learning experience also had its share of challenges and heartaches. “
Practicing Empathy
“ “
The grantees and rightsholder groups developed an interest to understand the advocacies of others, thus they requested for immersion-type activities.
Salamat sa Voice community na napakinggan sa lahat ng struggles sa lahat ng community. Lumakas ang aming loob na lumaban.” (English Translation: Thanks to the Voice community for hearing our struggles. This gave us the courage to push for our advocacies.)
