​
Villar Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation and Governance or Villar SIPAG has been in operation since it was established by Former Senator and Founding Chairman Manuel B. Villar Jr and his wife, Managing Director Senator Cynthia A. Villar and Treasurer/Secretary DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar. Founded on the combined advocacies of the Villar Family of lifting those under the poverty line out of poverty, and fueled by their love for the environment, Villar SIPAG has helped many Filipinos around the Philippines through their livelihood efforts, and environmental projects.

A brief history of the Villar SIPAG taken from their official website:
Social responsibility is the guiding principle of the Villar SIPAG, a non-stock, non-profit organization established in 1995.
Since its inception, Villar SIPAG has initiated, implemented, and supported various projects aimed at improving the quality of life of the people in the communities where we live and maintain a business presence.
One of Villar SIPAG's earliest programs was 'Pagtatanim Para Sa Kinabukasan', a tree-planting program, to create urban forests in open spaces of subdivisions, residential communities, and schools.
Over the years, its advocacies and beneficiaries have expanded and diversified in order to reach more people and sectors of the society. These include the poor and underprivileged; overseas Filipino workers and their families; the youth; women; the church; the environment among others.
Villar SIPAG's programs and projects include (but are not limited to) nutrition caravan (regular feeding programs for schoolchildren); medical and dental missions; river rehabilitation program; religious projects such as building of churches; repatriation of distressed overseas Filipino workers; livelihood and entrepreneurship.
By sharing our resources with the Filipino people who have made possible the success of our endeavors, we shall strive to provide opportunities to the underprivileged and the economically disadvantaged, for them to rise beyond their limitation and pursue meaningful lives as productive members of society.
Ultimately, we envision a healthy, peaceful, decent, and productive life for all Filipinos.
