DMCI Homes’ corporate social responsibility program that connects Benguet farmers directly to its condominium communities has won the Asia Pacific Tambuli Award, as reported by Philstar Biz. The initiative, which brings fresh highland produce to urban residents, was recognized for its impact on both farming livelihoods and community access to healthy food.
Under the program, DMCI Homes sources vegetables and fruits directly from Benguet farmers, reducing intermediaries and ensuring fair prices for growers. Condominium residents receive weekly deliveries of fresh produce, strengthening the farm-to-table pipeline while supporting Cordillera agricultural communities.
The Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards honor companies that integrate social responsibility into core business operations. DMCI Homes’ recognition highlights how real estate developers can create value beyond housing, fostering inclusive growth through supply chain partnerships with rural farmers.
