July 17, 2012 marked the birth anniversary of TYKFI Chairman Dr. Lucio C. Tan. In a meaningful expression of celebrating with those whom he has supported over the years, Kapitan, as he is familiarly referred to, spent the day on July 22, 2012 at the Sisters of Mary Girls’ Town in Silang, Cavite.
The Sisters of Mary Schools, both in Cavite and in Cebu, educate high school boys and girls from materially-deprived families providing them as well with a place to live in during the school year. Graduates from the secondary level are given the opportunity to become U.E.-Tan Yan Kee scholars, and a good number has earned college diplomas from the scholarship program.
TYKFI Trustee Fr. Joaquin Bernas, S.J. celebrated Holy Mass and students performed dances and songs, including favourite pieces of Dr. Tan. Joining the celebration were Trustees Marixi Prieto and Cesar E.A. Virata, Ms. Juanita Tan Lee, Joey de Guzman, and Tan Yan Kee Foundation officers and staff.
