Just recently, the chairmanship of the MARE Foundation was turned over to Jackie Ejercito by former senator Loi Ejercito. The occasion, held at the San Andres Sports Center with Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada as special guest, coincided with Jackie’s 50th birthday and 20th anniversary.
Other members of the new MARE Foundation board are Precy V. Ejercito, vice chairman; Corina Ponce-Enrile Yenko, treasurer; and Ma. Cristina Tantoco Morada, corporate secretary. The directors are Fr. Edward M. Lavin, Maria Rowena O. Ejercito, Gabriel Ma. J. Lopez, Precy V. Mathay, Willin C. Chan, Evelyn Carballo and Benita Tanyag.
MARE Foundation was established in 1996 by then Vice President Joseph Estrada and wife Dr. Loi Ejercito, to help improve the quality of life of underprivileged Filipinos. After more than 20 years, it has helped thousands of Filipinos through medical, dental and surgical missions, medical assistance program, feeding projects, livelihood projects, scholarships and relief assistance to victims of flood, fire and other calamities including conflict situations.
Equally worth mentioning is the Dialysis Center Project of the foundation, which is in partnership with the City Government of Manila. This project, which provides free dialysis sessions to poor Manileños, started at the time when Dr. Loi was still First Lady, wherein she helped build a dialysis center in Malacañang.
