  1. RMHC Philippines’ BACK-to-BAKuna Named 2026 Outstanding CSR Project for Health at LCF CSR Guild Awards

    MANILA, Philippines — Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Philippines’ flagship community health initiative, BACK-to-BAKuna, has been recognized as the 2026 Outstanding CSR Project for Health at the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF) CSR Guild Awards, honoring its innovative approach to improving childhood immunization completion.

    BACK-to-BAKuna addresses a critical challenge in routine childhood immunization: while many families begin vaccination, some struggle to complete the required doses due to missed schedules, concerns, and logistical barriers. The program strengthened existing public vaccination services by introducing behavior-based solutions that help caregivers remember schedules, prepare for visits, seek support, and return until completion.

    Piloted in Iloilo City and the Municipality of Janiuay in August 2025, the initiative combined behavioral research, community collaboration, and practical tools such as group vaccine cards, milestone calendars, digital reminders, transport support, and health promotion activities. 

    Using a quasi-experimental approach, BACK-to-BAKuna demonstrated significant improvements in vaccination completion, with intervention groups showing greater gains compared to control groups. Findings also showed that caregivers who engaged peers, invited others, and attended vaccination activities together were more likely to complete their children’s vaccination schedules.

    “The recognition of BACK-to-BAKuna reflects our commitment to creating meaningful and sustainable solutions that respond to the real needs of Filipino families. By helping caregivers overcome barriers and supporting them throughout their children’s vaccination journey, we are able to strengthen community health outcomes and help more children receive the protection they need,” said Marie Angeles, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities Philippines.

    The program’s innovation lies in recognizing that improving health outcomes requires more than access to services — it requires understanding and supporting the behaviors that influence follow-through.

    By addressing barriers beyond the first vaccine visit, BACK-to-BAKuna helped transform vaccination access into completed childhood protection. To sustain its impact, RMHC Philippines partnered with local government units to integrate the program’s tested tools and approaches into existing immunization workflows. Through capacity-building support and an Adaptation Playbook, local health teams are equipped to continue applying the approach within routine health promotion activities.

    The LCF CSR Guild Awards recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellence in corporate citizenship through impactful and sustainable social development initiatives. This recognition affirms RMHC Philippines’ commitment to creating healthier communities and helping more Filipino children receive complete protection through timely vaccination.

    Of course, the question must be asked...will we ever run out of variant names?

    Sigh.
