Orphans International Worldwide - The Philippines (OI Philippines or OIP)

http://www.change.org/oip/details/about

ORPHANS INTERNATIONAL WORLDWIDE - THE PHILIPPINES (OIP) as a brother and sister nongovernmental organization of Orphans International America (OIA) and Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) in New York aims to "Nurture Free and Responsible Citizens of the World" by, first, inspiring upon worldspeople to care for orphaned children.

We are all, one time or another in the past, orphaned by our loved ones. But we are more fortunate than the orphaned children. They need our help.

Orphans International America (OIA)'s and Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) first mandates to Orphans International Philippines (OIP) were to form OIP in Manila and to construct its first orphans' campus in a donated family estate of a Filipino American in New York in the Northern Philippines.

Once done, OIP will accommodate in the orphans campus orphaned Filipino children, orphaned Filipino American children, orphaned children by Japanese, Korean and American soldiers during the infamy that was world war II, orphaned children of the US war in Vietnam, orphaned children by American soldiers who were stationed in US air and naval bases in The Philippines, orphaned children by the unnecessary Muslim versus Christian wars in Mindanao in the Southern Philippines, orphaned children who are being nurtured by OIA and OIWW from Asia and Africa, orphaned children in the unnecessary wars in the Gulf, and others.

But the OIP vision, mission, values and programs of action for the orphaned children and orphaned people of the world will not stop there.

FOUNDING PILLARS OF OI PHILIPPINES (OIP)

ORPHANS International (OI America) founding CEO Jim Luce (he has got a long Ohioian name like the OIP founder's) asked journalist Emmanuel Mario Santos aka Marc Guerrero in Manila to have the former's firm help the latter's Orphans International's Worldwide advocacy for the orphaned children of the world in and from New York to the world, specially in The Philippines. In no time, the latter asked his closest of physician colleagues, namely Hernando B Delizo, MD and Juan Antonio Perez III, MD to put up OI Philippines as project and partner nation of OIWW.

Marc Guerrero is a writer & journalist, editor & translator, historian & futurist, publisher & producer, and health & business communicator and media management entrepreneur for many years.

Marc Guerrero is the permanent Chief Executive or Executive Director of OIP.

Dr Hernan 'Dok Nan' Delizo, an Internal Medicine physician, specializes in endocrinology, metabolism, geriatrics and diabetes. Founding CEO of Clinica Manila, Mediserv, Wellness Place and Wellcare Clinics, Dr Delizo is described by his colleagues in health entrepreneurship as The Philippines' "first healthcare retailer in the private sector." He is father to two orphaned children and two biological children who he and wife-pediatrician nurture as their very own family of six, with extended families to boot.

Dok Nan is the first President of OIP.

Dr Jeepy Perez, a general practitioner who specializes in public health administration, had served as counsel to four Health Cabinet Secretaries of four Philippine Presidents.

Dok Jeepy is the first Vice President and Secretary-General of OIP.

With His Highness, Prince Albert of Monaco, son of the late Prince Rainier and American actress Princess Grace Kelly, as Honorary Advisor to OI Worldwide, the Marc Guerrero Founding OIP Board shall be considering Her Excellency, President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, widow of martyr Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino Jr and mother to Congressman Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III and controversial TV host (and next Senator) Kris Aquino et al to serve as the first Honorary Chairperson of OIP.

President Aquino is the living inspiration behind the "political ideal" that was the First Peaceful People Power Revolution of the World in 1986 at EDSA.

But OIP is apolitical by nature and by origin. OIP is a synergizer of creative and compassionate ideas and ideals.

Long before the '86 EDSA Fiesta Revolt became a byword by the Philippine societies have's and have-not's, Marc Guerrero in his teenaged years had organized provincial youth organization chapters for the national Kabataang Barangay foundation of Ferdinand Marcos's eldest daughter Imee Marcos. Thereafter, he had worked in the early-'80s as "popular technology writer" of the Technology Resource Center (TRC) under Imelda Romualdez Marcos' Ministry of Human Settlements.

Marc Guerrero, Dr Hernan Delizo and Dr Jeepy Perez comprised the founding brothers of OIP who are tasked to make the hopes, dreams and aspirations of OIWW for OIP for the orphaned children and of the OIP for the orphaned peoples of the world happen.
