Spes Pauperum Foundation- SPFI Microfinance NGO, Inc. commemorated its 25th Founding Anniversary today, July 20, 2026, with a Thanksgiving Mass presided over by Executive Director, Rev. Fr. Raymund D. Bagohin.

The celebration marked the Foundation's silver milestone following its official establishment on July 19, 2001, and served as a moment of thanksgiving for 25 years of serving poor and underserved communities through microfinance and development programs.

SPFI traces its roots to 1997, when the Diocesan Nutrition and Livelihood Apostolate (DNLA) formulated a phase-over plan to improve the socio-economic condition of marginalized families while ensuring the sustainability of its programs. In June 1998, DNLA launched the Bangko sa Kabus Development Project (BanKDeP), serving its first 155 clients through the Grameen Banking Methodology. As the program continued to grow, Spes Pauperum Foundation, Inc. (SPFI) was established on July 19, 2001, as a non-stock, non-profit organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As SPFI commemorates 25 years of service, the Foundation honors the vision of its founders and the dedication of its officers, employees, partners, and clients who have helped advance its mission of bringing hope and opportunities to the communities it serves.

Celebrating 25 years of hope, service, and empowerment.

Sa matag panagtigom, mas madugangan ang atong kahibalo. Sa matag kahibalo nga atong mapaambit, mas mapauswag ang atong pag-alagad.

Kagahapon, malampusong gipahigayon ang Center Coordinators' Meeting sa SPFI Tagum 1 ug SPFI Tagum 2 Branches. Nahatag an og higayon ang atong mga Center Coordinators sa paghisgot sa mga kasinatian, ug mga pamaagi aron mas epektibong maserbisyohan ang atong mga miyembro.

Ang maong tigum gipangunahan sa atong Executive Director, Rev. Fr. Raymund D. Bagohin, uban sa Operations Head, Ms. Divina M. Flor, ug mga Branch Managers, Mr. Norman Jaya ug Mr. Federico Aligato Jr.

Salamat sa tanang Center Coordinators sa inyong padayon nga kooperasyon, dedikasyon, ug matinud-anong pag-alagad sa misyon sa SPFI-BankDep. Padayon kitang magtinabangay alang sa mas lig-on nga kaugmaon sa atong komunidad.
