Heeding the need for conscious voluntary service in addressing economic, social, and environmental problems arising from poverty and under-development, Punongbayan & Araullo (P&A) conceptualized P&AUSE (P&A for a Cause).

P&AUSE is an endeavor, which seeks involvement in the enabling of non-government, private voluntary and people’s organizations into a sector capable of delivering development initiatives.

Through P&AUSE, P&A sees itself not only as a monetary and manpower resource pool, but eventually, an institution that espouses the empowerment of disadvantaged individuals, families and communities for an improved quality of life.

P&AUSE works in synergy with other sectors and institutions and focuses on the following areas of concern:

• Health and Nutrition
• Shelter and Infrastructure
• Livelihood and Enterprise Development
• Sustainable Development and Environment
• Education and Youth Formation
• Gender and Human Development
