Aside from producing the E. Zobel Foundation’s Annual Newsletter, I also produced the quarterly Banco ng Masa newsletter. Banco ng Masa is a microfinance-oriented rural bank in Batangas (Philippines) borne from the E. Zobel Foundation’s Palabra de Honor savings program. Associations located all over Batangas (Calatagan, Lian, Tui, Nasugbu and Matabungkay), made up of farmers, fishermen, small business owners and the like, pooled their savings together to set up capital for their livelihood.
