On September 26, in observance of Save Sierra Madre Day, #OpenAccess and Fostering Education & Environment for Development (FEED) held Plant It Forward 2026 at the UP Laguna-Quezon Land Grant in Siniloan, Laguna.

With more than 30 volunteers planting native saplings, the initiative supported local reforestation efforts and highlighted the importance of protecting the Sierra Madre and its forests.

Observed annually on September 26 under Presidential Proclamation No. 413, Save Sierra Madre Day calls attention to the importance of conserving this vital mountain range.

How do you measure an outsourcing partnerโ€™s true stability? Look beyond the SLA. Real commitment means sustained, need-driven investment in the community, not one-off gestures.

#OpenAccess recently partnered with Foundation of Balay Pasilungan, a non-profit oragnization in Davao, to provide essential donations and volunteer support for disadvantaged children.

This builds on our annual commitment to community impact through initiatives such as school-building, animal shelter support, and tree-planting.
