Organizational Profile

Anda is an island-town in Pangasinan. It is a part of the reknowned Hundred Islands. Lying in the Lingayen Gulf, coral reefs extend along its shores. These provide shelter and abundant food sources for fish and other aquatic organisms. It is in this setting that the UP College of Social Work and Development (CSWCD) Program opened a Community-based Coastal Resource Management Program (CBCRM) in 1997.

PHDF partnered with the Anda CBCRM together with the local people's organizations for its Free Email Connectivity Program in Remote Rural Communities. These are organizations of farmers and fisherfolks that include the Samahang Multisectoral sa Carot (SAMUSECA), Samahang Mangingisda sa Cabungan (SAMACA), Imbo Multisectoral Barangay Organization (IMBO), and Samahang Multisectoral sa Tondol (SAMUSETO).

The CBCRM Program in Anda, Pangasinan seeks to empower people to manage, protect and rehabilitate their coastal resources in order to sustain the well-being of the environment while at the same time maintaining its carrying capacity for people’s basic needs.

The free email project opened in July 20, 2001, in a launching ceremony attended by the town mayor Alice J. Pulido, barangay officials, and Prof. Sammy Formilleza of the UP CSWCD.
