Food. Learning. Opportunity.
Sixto Initiative is a community project in development, created by Filipino chef and author Sixto Carreon. Its purpose is to support people in the Philippines through food assistance, education, and practical skills.
The aim is simple: help meet immediate needs while creating opportunities for people to learn, earn, and build a more independent future.
Formation stage · Programs and registration are being prepared.
Rooted in home. Built around people.
Sixto’s roots are in Taytay, Palawan. His work as a chef and cookbook author has taken him into professional kitchens in Singapore, while food, learning, and hospitality remain central to what he shares.
Sixto Initiative brings these interests into a community-focused project, with roots in Bato, Taytay, Palawan. The proposed work connects practical help today with learning and livelihood opportunities for the future.
Three programs. One shared purpose.
These are the proposed areas of work. Launch dates, locations, eligibility, and ways to participate will be published here when confirmed.

How we intend to work
Start with community needs. Listen to local people and work with suitable community partners to identify where support can be useful.
Make the process clear. Set program criteria, document decisions, and keep records of resources received and how they are used.
Respect people’s dignity. Treat participants with care, protect personal information, and share stories responsibly.
Build at a manageable pace. Begin with work that can be delivered and followed through, then use what is learned to shape the next steps.
Where we are now
Sixto Initiative is in its formation stage. The proposed organization is a Philippine non-stock, non-profit corporation under the name Sixto Initiative, Inc., subject to SEC name approval and registration.
The current focus is preparing the organization, program plans, and operating arrangements. Confirmed registration details and program announcements will be added to this page as the initiative develops.
