The
RPG Foundation (RPGF) established in 1995 aims to
carry on through academic leadership, scholarship, hard
work, patient research and equal educational opportunities,
the same impact as how public and private organizations
impact upon the daily lives of the common people. The Foundation
is not just a legal fiction created by law. It is am embodiment
of what RPG means in its efforts to promote meaningful REFORMS,
effective PERFORMANCE, and caring responsible GOVERNANCE
in the social order. This is necessary in attaining meaningful
PUBLIC SERVICE, which has been the life-long passion of
its founder, Dr. RAUL P. De GUZMAN.
Dr. de Guzman firmly believes in the statement:
“Education
is the fundamental link to national progress. It is the
key to liberate people from poverty and enable them to fully
utilize their human faculties to contribute most effectively
to the economic and social development of society.”

as well as its own that relates to educational development
and formation. The foundations that benefit from the RPG
