The BCYF Regional Operations
BCYF’s work has its base in our own country, the Philippines. The country is geographically divided into 18 regions. But for the purpose of its projects, BCYF has combined these into five (5) Strategic Development Areas which aims to create innovative social development solutions, appropriate to the needs and culture of each region.
5 Strategic Development Areas:
- Cordillera (Indigenous People)
- Luzon (includes Northern Luzon, Cagayan Valley, Bicol and MIMAROPA)
- Greater Metro Manila (includes NCR, CALABARZON and Central Luzon
- Visayas
- Mindanao

BCYF Visayas runs Social Enterprise and CSR initiatives across the four regions: Western Visayas, Negros Island, Central Visayas and Eastern Visayas.
With the goal of creating Social Innovation hubs, BCYF Visayas aims to contribute to the target of achieving at least 100 social enterprises by 2018, and supporting developmental social enterprises to scale up.
The flagship initiative is the establishment of a Visayas Social Enterprise Fund – an angel investment program specifically for impact-driven businesses in any of the four Visayas regions.
