ILAW NG MASA(MASA Inc's NATIVE SOLAR LAMP)

ILAW NG MASA

MASA Inc designed a Native solar lamp using indigenous materials, recycled bottle and 

its circuit. Among the IP Communities that MASA Inc had visited, we felt the need to help the Dumagat Remontados of MAGATA Tribe to have another or extra source of income by teaching them to make these native solar lamps out the indigenous materials found in their community. Rattan, coconut shell and nito fern are abundant in the area and in the deep forest of Tanay.  

MASA Inc circuit is used to make the solar lighting work. These circuits are usually assembled in sponsored workshops by CSR's, schools and universities, cooperatives, government and private institutions. After assembly of the circuit, these are then connected to other parts in the lamp and the finished native solar lamp is donated to another IP community.

In this way, we had helped an IP community get extra source of livelihood, let CSR's and other institutions have awareness regarding renewable energy, share their extra resources to communities in need, help light up other IP communities and inspire and motivate every child or student who received the solar lamp to do their best in school since they have now their source of light at night to help light up their study nights. Who knows that with these lamps, we could inspire would be engineers, teachers, architects, IT experts and a mayor or president? Besides helping these IP communities have continuous source of light, we had helped them save 15 or more pesos a day for their gas consumption for a bottle of gas lamp. Gas lamps are hazardous to health and the environment. 

There are still thousands of IP communities that lives in darkness and in need of our help. We would like to appeal to your kind hearts to support these advocacy through donations or sponsorship. You may contact us at Tel: (632)8873273 or CP: (632)9173870895. You may email us also at masa.inc@yahoo.com or message us on our FB page.

DONATE A SOLAR LAMP INSPIRE A CHILD fund raising campaign is a continuous campaign 

for the IP communities.

MASA INC

MASA Inc (Magkasamang Adhikaing Solar Association, Inc.) is a non profit-non stock organization whose mission is to help light up IP(Indigenous People) communities all over the country that doesn't have access to local electric provider and who are less privilege to acquire a simple solar lamp. 

MASA Inc was first created as an FB group page last May 27, 2015 to give free seminars, workshops, and training about solar power set ups, information and new solar innovations. The founder, MA. TERESITA SANTILLAN saw and realized that there are more to than just giving free seminar workshops. She saw and felt that there are less privileged people who couldn't afford a solar set up, the marginalized and the IP communities in far flung and remote areas of the mountains and villages.  She then registered the group at SEC last July 9, 2015 to be able to start legitimately helping these communities.

Since it's creation MASA Inc had already conducted numerous free seminars, workshops and trainings and had produced 29 TESDA certified EPAS NCII volunteers and trainers and the first Solar PV Installation NCII certified member came from MASA Inc. The first certified in the whole of Luzon and Visayas after the only certified trainer in ARRM,Mindanao. 

MASA INC TRAINERS AND VOLUNTEERS

It had been interviewed on different radio stations and been given a Hero's award and certificates of recognition.

It had innovated circuits for small lamps, streetlights and solar power generator sets. These innovations had already been sent and used by many countries across USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. It had helped a local NGO operating globally solve its multi million dollar global and local circuit problem. 

It's solar lamps had gone to many upgrades from a simple recycled pet bottle, to jars, gas lamps to native solar lamp.

MASA Inc NATIVE SOLAR LAMP

MASA Inc had helped quite a number of IP villages across the country had the simple solar lamps. It had saved them at least 15 pesos of gas and candles to aid their students in studying at night which are very hazardous to their lungs and health. Gas lamps or candles are prone to accidents of fire.

We need your help and support. Please join our campaign "DONATE A SOLAR LAMP INSPIRE A CHILD" and hoping that this simple solar lamp donated to each IP family could produce an architect, engineer, teacher, IT expert or maybe a mayor or president?

CMOG-PN@5 Feb. 17,2016

MASA,Inc was first created as facebook group last May 27, 2015 after I realized that there was still lacking or something was still missing in all the solar seminars I had attended. I wanted something more concrete and a more comprehensive seminar or training, something of a legacy. So I decided to have the group legalized and had it registered in SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission) as Magkasamang Adhikaing Solar Association(MASA),Inc last July 9, 2015 as the FIRST SOLAR GROUP TO BE SEC REGISTERED with the blessings and help of my sisters Ma.Dolores Santillan Fontanilla, Victoria Alvaro, Antonio Santillan and my dear friends Ka Ronald San Juan, Sir Denz Sulligan, Sir Jose Bernard Condez. Our first meeting for MASA Inc was held August 8,2015 with Ka Ronald and Sir Denz for Train the Trainers workshop.

OMG! Almost 3 years since I last blog? Three long years of not expressing my thoughts and emotions on pen? Wow…already so many emotional and mental struggles I had crossed, activities and achievements had filled my day to day life, successes that made my life more colorful and radiant…blessings I could no longer account...and yes I am back…ready to blog and journal again my journey in this world.

My Dearest Best Friends

What kept me busy these past three years? This page wouldn’t be enough to enumerate it all. But what I was sure of was the happiness it had brought me, of the big step out of my mourning, of my deep depression, of feeling alone, of not wanting to live of finally seeing again how colourful and wonderful the world is.

My favorite Mahilum Brothers

I had been to many experiments of how I could bring back myself to present and these all led me to where I am now. I had enjoyed my life as an art consultant in Art Circle Gallery. I was given the best opportunity of meeting the best artists of our land like the Mahilum brothers, Mr.Manny and Angelo Baldemor, Mr.Henry Ordoña. Mr. Oliver Marquex, Mr. Alex Uy, Mr. Nilo Badajos to name a few. Thankful I had a happy working relationship with Mr. Gene Leynes, Manny Feli-cen, Raymond Biares, Jonalyn Francisco, Jocelyn Fondevilla, Pamela Grace Velasco, Mam O and so many of them to mention.

Invitation

But my love for nature always pulls me. Just recently my dream fishpond and Garden had finally materialized. It’s my small world, my recluse, my abode. A place to relax my mind, empty my heavily packed emotions, a place to recharge my energy. It is my small paradise.

The Wishing Well

My philosophy of recycling, of saving mother earth is another side of me. It is rooted deep inside me since I was a child. And just recently, the search led me to solar power energy solution. I never expected that a newbie like me could venture in the kind of business completely out of my bounds. A venture that balanced my passive life. 

Prior to the grand opening of Santillan Solar Products and Services last Dec.27, 2014 at 2 Gemini St., Veraville Homes 1, Almanza 1, Las Piñas City, the company I had put up few months back had quickly gained wide exposure and clientele all over the Philippines. A wide coverage we never expected to be that quick, that’s why the Grand Opening happened. A business venture that not just gained wide clientele but best friends from different solar energy group enthusiasts.

Maybe, you are all curious what is this solar powered energy? Well, I would have a different blog for that so stay tuned.
