Wong Chu King Foundation
March 30, 1990, Wong Chu King Foundation (WCKF) was founded by the heirs with the advocacy of taking small but necessary steps to help the needy and provide opportunities to the deserving but less fortunate.
One of the foundation’s first projects was the construction of the Yuxi Primary School Wong Chu King Memorial Hall. This was followed by the construction of the Wong Li Li Niang language classroom and rebuilding the school’s multi-function hall.
The family funded the construction of the new Yuxi health station.
The family sponsored two classrooms in the primary building of Xavier School-Nuvali.
The family donated medical equipment to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment given to the villagers in Yuxi, China.
WCKF launched a two-pronged community outreach program geared towards tobacco farmers and their families as an effort to save the local tobacco farmers.
One of the biggest milestones in the family’s extensive history with Xavier School was the construction of the Sacred Heart Chapel inside the Senior High School building in Xavier School San Juan.
The second phase of the St. James Parish was turned over last March 31, 2016. This time, the WCKF reconstructed the flooring and the exterior while keeping the age- old structure intact.
The WCKF tirelessly supports churches in their renovations such as the 253-year-old St. James Parish in Iguig, Cagayan whose ceiling and roofing structure has been ravaged by natural calamities and pests over the years.
January, 7, 2017, the WCKF reached out to the Aeta community in the inward Barangay of Agguddan, Peñablanca, Cagayan.
