The Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino (LINKAPIL) Program or Link for Philippine
Development seeks a broader and deeper partnership between overseas Filipinos and
Filipinos on the home country based on a common desire to promote the

Conceptualized by CFO in 1989, LINKAPIL was developed as a mechanism to tap the
potentials of overseas Filipinos to support education, health and welfare, livelihood,
and small-infrastructure projects. Assistance through the LINKAPIL Program may be

monitoring and feedback mechanism. This program feature aims to encourage
transparency and boost confidence among all parties involved in the project.
