This Tet, we joined the Spring for Underprivileged Children program in Binh Duong, partnering with the Binh Duong Children’s Protection Fund and local leaders to support students in need. Gift packages filled with school supplies and financial aid helped children welcome the new year with joy—and better prepare for the academic year ahead.
Meanwhile, Pilmico Vietnam extended its support to families in Binh Thanh by partnering with the local People’s Committee to distribute financial aid. Cash gifts were given to households facing hardship, helping them cover essential needs such as food and daily supplies. This simple yet meaningful gesture is part of our ongoing effort to create value and build resilience where it’s needed most.
Together under Aboitiz Foods, Gold Coin and Pilmico are taking purposeful action across Vietnam—supporting education, uplifting families, and contributing to stronger, more empowered communities.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What community programs were carried out during the Tet season in Vietnam?
During the Tet season, two community support programs were conducted across Vietnam. In Binh Duong, underprivileged children received gift packages containing school supplies and financial aid as part of the Spring for Underprivileged Children program. Separately, in Binh Thanh, families facing financial hardship received cash gifts distributed through a partnership with the local People’s Committee – helping them cover essential needs such as food and daily necessities during the festive season and beyond.
2. Who were the partners involved in the Binh Duong children’s initiative?
The Binh Duong initiative was carried out in partnership with the Binh Duong Children’s Protection Fund and local community leaders. This collaboration ensured that support reached students identified as genuinely in need, combining the resources and reach of a corporate partner with the local knowledge and credibility of established community institutions – resulting in a more targeted and meaningful distribution of aid to children ahead of the new year.
3. How did Pilmico Vietnam support families in Binh Thanh?
Pilmico Vietnam worked alongside the Binh Thanh local People’s Committee to distribute financial aid directly to households experiencing hardship. Cash gifts were provided to help families manage essential daily expenses including food and basic supplies. By channeling support through an official local government body, the initiative ensured transparency and credibility in the distribution process while reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to building resilience within the communities it operates near.
4. How do these initiatives connect to the broader mission of Gold Coin and Aboitiz Foods?
Both Gold Coin and Pilmico operate under the Aboitiz Foods umbrella, which frames community investment as a purposeful extension of its business mission rather than a standalone CSR exercise. Supporting education, uplifting families, and strengthening communities are treated as integral to long-term sustainable growth – reflecting a philosophy that a company’s value is measured not only by commercial performance but by the tangible positive impact it creates in the places where it operates.
5. What are the key takeaways from these Vietnam community initiatives?
These initiatives demonstrate that meaningful community impact does not require grand gestures – targeted support delivered at the right time, through the right local partners, creates genuine and lasting value. By addressing both education and financial hardship simultaneously, across two separate locations and vulnerable groups, the programs reflect a multi-dimensional approach to community care. The coordination between corporate entities and local government bodies also signals a model of responsible engagement that is both scalable and replicable across other markets.
