ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Five years after the successful Global Forum on Liberty and Prosperity (18-20 October 2006)—which advanced the philosophy and justification of “Safeguarding the Liberty and Nurturing the Prosperity for the Peoples of the World”—the Foundation for Liberty and Prosperity (FLP) was formally organized. Thus, it is now committed to perpetuate the principle that jurists and lawyers should not only safeguard the liberty of people but must also nurture their prosperity under the rule of law.
The Foundation was formally and publicly launched on the 75th Birthday Celebrations of the retired Chief Justice, during which an original musicale titled “Ageless Passion” was staged at the Meralco Theater in Pasig City on December 20, 2011. Joining Chief Justice Panganiban in FLP’s Board of Trustees are his wife Elenita C. Panganiban, retired Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide Jr., Washington Z. Sycip, Edilberto C. De Jesus, Jennifer J. Manalili, Maria Elena P. Yaptangco, Maria Theresa P. Mañalac, and Joel Emerson J. Gregorio.

MISSION AND VISION
The Foundation’s VISION is a society that fully appreciates the necessity of “Liberty & Prosperity” and their essential interdependence and mutual inclusiveness. The Foundation’s MISSION is to educate the people, especially the members of the judicial and legal profession, on this fundamental and essential inter- relation between liberty and prosperity by supporting projects aimed at promoting, developing, assisting and protecting liberty and prosperity under the rule of law.
The Foundation aims to perpetuate the core judicial philosophy of retired Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban that jurists and lawyers should not only safeguard the liberty of our people but must also nurture their prosperity under the rule of law. To him, justice and jobs; freedom and food; ethics and economics; democracy and development; nay, liberty and prosperity must always go together; one is useless without the other. The attainment of this dual goal involves an understanding of the intertwining relationship of law and business; and of regulation and entrepreneurship
Accordingly, to achieve its goals, the foundation shall organize, undertake, and/or support the following projects and activities: (1) legal assistance, legal research, and legal aid; (2) seminars, workshops, trainings, classes, debates, moot courts, oratorical jousts, and other forms of instruction; (3) professorial chairs, educational scholarships and fellowships; (4) curricula on liberty and prosperity under the rule of law; and (5) a Center for Liberty and Prosperity.
