A. What are the wquot;aLw oovttTownts ot
PnPts TrolrawLs?
The three main components of the Pondo ng Pinoy
program are the educetlon component, the gatherlng of
the quot;crumbs'and the dlgtrlbudon of tAo quot;crumbs'. The
. quot;crumbsi refers to the invitallon Pondo ng Pinoy extends
to all to make a daily eacrifice of love for God and the
needy. In monetary terms, 25 centavos is the amount that
makes this daily sacritice open both to the poor and the

Education refers to the evangelization and empower-
ment of people by bringing to them the eoci:rl doctrines of
the Church ard promoting and deepening their under- '
stending of the vieion, mission and goals of PnP and the
principlee and valuec il aima to uphold, Gdthering of tha.
quot;crumbsquot; refers to callec{ing contributions of people and
raising more funds to ensure sufficiency of financial sup-
port to socio-economic projects. Distribution of the
'crumbs' meane the allocating and disbursing funds to
socio-e@nomic p1ojods that r,r/ould qualify based on the
Foundation'g Criteria forAssistance.

promotes the formative dimension of social transformation,

I It is catechetical in nature - direct proclamation of the
gospel values of Jesus Chrigt. ThE sharinq of twentv-five
centavos (0.25) becomes the integrating moment in the

I catechetical framework. lt is the concrete expression of
love, of a life lived for othere. Thus education is couple<l
with action on behalf of neighbors. The basic operaiional
neect is to promote and degpen th6 und€rstandinq of
rl people on the vision, the spiritual, theological andsocial
dimensions of PnP and the piinciplEs and values it aims to
uphold.

I . The objectives of PnP education and catechesis are:
1. To cultivate a spirituality of social transformation
through the formation of social conscience:
participatory church aird caring com-
.2. To buitd up a
munity lhrough a life long process of leaming and slef-

for local education committees who wish to develop facilita-
tors of the PnP modules.

Formation for capacity building will be offered to
people who will help implement the vision and programs of
PnR especially those in the DiocesanMcariate PnP Desk,
speakers and training facilitators. Skills and technical'
training will be provided.

D. what Ls the ?yooess Lw qatherLwg the
quot;Cruvwbs'
All parbhes, schools, universities, organizations, etc.
are enjoined to dopGit their contributions to PnP depository
banks and firmish the PnP Central Office and their respec-
tive Diocesan Chancery with a copy of the deposit slip.
Contributions may elso be foMarded to the PnP Desk in
the Chenceryl the PnP De6k will in turn forward the funds
to the PnP Central Office through designated banks.
Through the centralization of funds we hope PnP will have
a stronger impact on the national scene. lt is also a way of
giving poorer dio@8es access to funds that they could not
raise by themselvee. Schools are also encouraged to
depGlt their collections directly to PnP depository banks
but should give a copy ofthe deposit slip to both the PnP
national office and their own Diocesan coordinator or the
PnP desk in th6 Chancery.

The Cgordinator will keep separate records
of the contributions of parishes, schoole and

A. How isPvtP oYqawlzed?
Since the establishment of the community foundation
was the lnitiative of bishops, the diocese$ and parishes will
provide the basic framewo* for the organization of PnP.
The spirit of gommunign and solidarity should be reflected
in the organizational structure of PrP. Both as a movement
and a coinmunity foundation, PnP has a Central Offlce with
dioceses and parishes aB local implementing arms' But
while PnP uses diocesan and parish offices, PnP is an
entity distinc{ from the Dioceses and Parishes, Hence' PnP
will not supplant, but support and enhance diocesan or
parochial initiatives or activiues, especially those direc{ed
towardsihe well being oftho poor.

The PnP orientation ehould be creativoly integrated
and adairted to the @mponento of diocesan/parochial
paotoral plans, e.g. family life, BEC's, advocacy,
catechesis, ministry to sectors, youth, education, ecumeni-
cal and inter-religious dialogue, etc. Local realities must be
con6idered in the adaptation.

Fund generating ac{fuities and traditional sources of
funds of thb diocese/parish, €specaally the newly estab-
lished <ines, will be respeded by PnP. lf the donors
prefer to give directly to diocesan/parochial
projec{s, they are free to do so, while being
1quot; encouraged to undergo the evangelization

I a. Participating dioceses or apostolic vicariates will
sel up th6ir own PnP Deek headed by the Bishop, with the
Diocesan Chancery as its ba$e. Serving as an arm of the

I community foundation, the DioceeanMcariate pnp Desk
will operate within the existing dlocesan structure, e.g. the
SocialAction Center. The diocesan offrce within whi;h the
PnP Desk operates shall assume th6 operational expenses
I of the Desk. The PnP Desk will rely, therefore, on the staff
of the diocese and parishes, parish pastoral councils,
church organizations and ministri€s for human resource.

I Consistenl with the cultqre of sharing that pnp is cultiva!

b. The Bishop will appoint a PnP DiocesanMceriate
Coordinator from amongthe lay, religious or clergy. The
Coordinator oversees the operations of the PnP and the
various subcommitees, links with the perticipating parishes
and institutione in tho dioce8e/vicariate and the central
offrce. monitors the collection, submission and distribution
of monev, keEps records, inspeds projects funded by the
PnP and regularly reports to the Bi6hop on the state of the
PnP in th€ iiioceie,lvicariate. The Coordinator must be of
qood moral standing in the community, must have a record
6f community involwm6nt, and must be skilled in financial
menagement.

c. The PnP Central Ofiice will prepare the initial
oroorams of PnP. Thg Diocesan PnP Desk can adapt the
inai'erials and programs to fit their local contexts. Th-quot;
central ofiice also acts aE the monitoring body of the
various initiatives from the dioceseslvicariates and of the
