Vision Statement
​One day, each person has access to quality and inclusive healthcare.

Mission Statement
We transform lives of the disadvantaged through guidance, connection, and empowerment. .

Core Values
These core values are the quintessence and guiding principles that determine Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko’s actions. The core values are our aim, a challenge that we seek to live and work towards.

We are committed to the poor.
We are called to serve the neediest people of the Philippines; to relieve their suffering and to promote the transformation of their well-being. We seek to understand the situation of the poor and work alongside them.

We seek to facilitate an engagement between the poor and the affluent that opens both to transformation. We respect the poor as active participants, not passive recipients, in this relationship. They are people from whom others may learn and receive, as well as give. The need for transformation is common to all. Together we share a quest for compassion, peace and reconciliation, and healing a broken world characterized by poverty.

We value people.
We regard all people as created and loved by God. We give priority to people before money, structure, systems, and other institutional machinery.

We act in ways that respect dignity, uniqueness, and intrinsic worth of every person - the poor and the sick. We practice a participative, open, enabling style in working relationships. We encourage the professional, personal, and spiritual development of our staff.

We respond to the needs of the indigent patients.
The resources at our disposal are not our own. They are a trust from God through benefactors and donors on behalf of the poor and the sick. We speak and act honestly.We are open and factual in our dealings with sponsors, project communities, and the public at large.

We are committed to provide medications to child cancer patients.
We are responsive to life-threatening emergencies where our involvement is needed and appropriate. We are committed to provide medications, through our limited resources, until the patient becomes stable. Then we will provide them and their families psychosocial support so that they can continue to live with dignity.  

We do this from a foundation of experience and sensitivity to what the situation requires. We also recognize that even in the midst of crisis the destitute has a contribution to make. 

We are responsive in a different sense where deep-seated and often complex economic and social deprivation calls for sustainable, long-term development.

History 

KAPWA KO, MAHAL KO started out with a simple intention: to tap private donors to help shoulder expensive medical and surgical procedures needed by indigent patients. The venue for seeking assistance was a television program on GMA Network. Through the decades, desperate and indigent patients saw the chance to go public with their stories as the lonely means to survive. 

In its early years, Kapwa Ko was also a clinic on the air. The patients who came for help were also illustrative cases for specialist-doctors who would then explain on television, the symptoms, cure and prevention of various diseases. When it first went on the air in the ‘70s medical diagnosis was less dependent on computerized technology like tomography or magnetic image resonance. Good old history-taking was critical.

Program hosts Orly Mercado (who later became a Senator, Defense Secretary and Ambassador) and Rosa Rosal (respected and iconic Red Cross Governor) took care of that. Medical accuracy was ensured by the presence of a renowned nephrologist, Dr Antonio Talusan, who was the program’s first medical director. GMA Network President Menardo R. Jimenez’s  idea of a medical program  that  would not only inform  but be of direct  help to  the poor came into being.
