Mighty implemented the following projects:
Distribution of equipment to local tobacco farms – Mighty distributed equipments such as hand tractors and irrigation pumps to farmers in order to increase their efficiency.

Scholarship grants for children of tobacco farmers – Honoring the memory of their patriarch, Mighty’s foundation granted scholarships for three sets of beneficiaries: the kids of company employees, the kids of non-employees who are deserving students and need help, and also for children of rural tobacco farmers who want to study agriculture in college.
Increased tobacco purchase – Mighty substantially increased their purchase of tobacco from local farmers nationwide. Accordin to the company, this will help the local farmers increase their income while also aiding Mighty in the tobacco industry.
Assisting in renovation of historic churches – Mighty also assisted in the reconstruction of historic churches from different provinces in Luzon. These churches was heavily damaged due the earthquake that happened in 2013.

Mighty Corporation To Foster Corporate Social Responsibility
Mighty Corporation has been the oldest filipino-owned tobacco business in the Philippines. They recently added another line of business called Mighty Sports Apparel and Accessories serving all Filipino sports enthusiasts and their team, Mighty Sports.
Since, Mighty Corp. has always been dedicated to their people, they extend help in taking small but necessary steps to help and provide opportunities to less fortunate with the help of around 5,000 volunteers of the Wong Chu king Foundation.
Aside from committing to their social and environmental goodwill as a tobacco company, they are fostering their corporate social responsibility (CSP) in terms of giving donations and financial help to churches. Coming from a devout Catholic family, Mighty Corp. with the Wongchuking family has been providing programs to parishes and dioceses in a number of provinces in the country through WCKF for restoration and rehabilitation work for churches. One of their goals is to keep the historical and cultural value of the establishments that once has been part of Philippine history.
Mighty Corp. also aims for a better future of many Filipinos by encouraging and promoting education and scientific research through scholarship programs, focusing on high school and college and university scholarships.
“The parents of these students are low-income farmers who only produce local products, so you can imagine the positive impact this kind of support has for them.” according to the bishop who commended Mighty Corp.
Other than helping the children of our local farmers, Might Corp. has also lined up their project for farmers in North Luzon for better equipments to make their job easier to do every day. “I’m quite happy about all these projects. It’s a big lift for our farmers, not only in La Union but also the whole of Northern Luzon. This is something very beautiful as the hand tractors and water pumps encourage our farmers to use modern methods of agriculture,” he added.
CSP also aims to create an act that can change and help encourage other people or organization to be better. The implementation of organic pesticide for their farmers and encouraging other local farmers to use natural over chemical has also been one of their campaign to maintain a better environment and healthy soil for all harvest.
The company has many more upcoming plans to increase environmental and social awareness to improve not just the market, but also to focus supporting and maintaining local tobacco industry in good position.
