(GTFI), recently?held the 2017 Anniversary?Grants Turnover Ceremony?at the Metrobank Plaza Au?ditorium in Makati City. Led?by Metrobank Group chairman George S.K. Ty, chairman Arthur Ty, president Fabian Dee, MBFI president Aniceto Sobrepeña and GTFI president and Federal Land chairman Alfred Ty, a total of 37 organizations focusing on HEAL – Health, Education, Arts and Livelihood – received grants at the event. Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), HEAL serves as the framework for the two foundations’ partnerships with around 100 organizations that work to- wards nation-building. Truly, it is truly more wonderful to give than to receive. Kudos to Metrobank and to the Ty family for their continuous generosity!
