2021 JCI
Makati President Lawrence Li Tan has produced over 500 projects in the first
six months of his term. Placing positive
change and long-term impact as main focus of his projects, Tan was able to
touch lives of thousands of Filipinos who were deeply affected by COVID-19 pandemic.
One of his
stellar projects was HEROES program of PTTC of DTI which aims to help displaced
and expatriated OFWs to become entrepreneurs.
JCI Makati under tan’s leadership created modules that helped develop
new Ex-OFW entrepreneurs in the country. League of Leaders is another priority project
where tan together with his Board of Directors designed leadership programs for
the youth. This project’s goal is to
create more Filipino youth leaders who will be advocates of change that will
help our country to rise up faster from the pandemic.
Lawrence
“Lance” Li Tan is a multi-awarded businessman having opened 16 hotels, shopping
centers, food chains, transport terminals and is also a member of the
academe. Tagged as the Museum Prince in
Asia, Tan has been a tourism advocate ever since, but this has gotten deeper
when his love for the Philippines is on the table.
For this
year, Lance is one of the honourees under American Association of the
Philippines (AAP) for his spectacular programs for the Indigents along with
other leaders.
AAP is
composed of Americans, Filipino Americans, Filipinos and other nationalities
and celebrates the partnership of its members--the American community, the US
Embassy, and the American corporations--which in 1949, helped the struggling
local Americans displaced by World War II in the Philippines. AAP is also the owner-in-trust of the
American Historical Collection, with approximately 60,000 volumes about the
American colonial period and post-war events that were once housed in the U.S.
Embassy. With the support of its different partnerships and members, AAP is
able to conduct its social welfare projects.
