SEC Approves Registration of Tahanan ni Juan Foundation Inc.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted the certificate of registration to Tahanan ni Juan Foundation Inc., an organization dedicated to creating communities through affordable and resilient housing for underprivileged and underserved Filipino beneficiaries.

The foundation’s primary mission extends beyond housing, aiming to uplift the living standards of the poor. It seeks to collaborate with various non-profit organizations, community development corporations, governmental agencies, and mission-driven investors committed to promoting social welfare among Filipinos. By forming these partnerships, the foundation aims to alleviate some of the government’s burden in addressing poverty and the country’s significant housing backlog.

Innovative Housing Technology Using PLYCON

Key partners of the foundation include Resins Inc. and RI Chemical Corporation, which have pioneered an innovative housing technology for building low-cost homes. This technology, invented by the late Meneleo Carlos Jr., former president of Resins Inc., focuses on addressing the country’s housing deficit, which currently stands at 6.5 million units.

The foundation advocates for the use of this technology, which ensures the construction of affordable, durable, and resilient houses. The construction method employs fiber-cement plywood composite boards called PLYCON, laminated plywood lumber, and construction adhesives instead of nails. This approach merges the flexural strength of wood with the compressive strength of cement, resulting in homes that are cool, lightweight, and weather-resistant.

The SEC certification, filed on May 18, 2024 was approved on June 14, 2024. It marks a significant step towards fulfilling the foundation’s mission of improving the lives of many Filipinos through innovative and sustainable housing solutions.

Tahanan ni Juan Advantages

The foundation’s president, Ms. Carolina Carlos, heads the Resins Inc. Group of Companies. Echoing the vision of her late father Meneleo Carlos Jr., Ms. Carlos emphasizes the advantages of the construction technology: “The merger of the flexural strength of wood and the compressive strength of cement allows these houses to be cool, lightweight, and able to withstand weather conditions.”

She adds that the use of adhesives in the construction process distributes loads and stresses evenly, creating a corrosion-proof and typhoon-resistant structure.

Organizations and individuals interested in partnering with Tahanan ni Juan Foundation can contact Mr. Jose Ma. Carlos at 09171055524. The foundation’s headquarters is located at E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, Resins Inc. Compound, Bagong Ilog, Pasig.
