Mountain Support

Seeds of Change, in action.

After months of mentoring and peer learning across ASEAN, this stage brings youth-led projects into the spotlight. Not as pitches, but as lived work shaped by community, inclusion, and persistence.

Mountain Support PH’s Chairperson, Ella Bautista, will serve as moderator for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship segment of the YSEALI Seeds for the Future 2025 Project Showcase at , helping surface the stories, lessons, and questions behind youth-driven innovation across the region.

Proud to stand alongside young leaders turning ideas into impact, and to be part of this milestone moment for the YSEALI Seeds community.

Mountain Support PH Inc. joined a meaningful gift-giving activity for 100 Mangyan beneficiaries from Baco, Oriental Mindoro, held as part of the Command Visit of PBGEN Lou F. Evangelista, Director of the Philippines National Police Maritime Group.

The activity was led together with PCOL Pedro P. Martinez Jr., Deputy Director for Operations; PCOL Juritz B. Rara, Chief of RMU 4B; other officers and uniformed personnel of Regional Maritime Unit 4B; members of the Regional Advisory Group for Police Transformation and Development 4B (RAGPTD4B); and officials from the Municipality of Baco LGU.

MSPI’s Chairwoman, Miss Ella Bautista, who also serves as RAGPTD4B Secretary and Youth Ambassador, was present in support of the activity, which reflected a shared commitment to community care and respectful engagement with Indigenous communities.

The Mangyan community expressed their gratitude for the support extended, especially as the year draws to a close. We recognize the significance of this visit and the presence of uniformed leaders who took time to engage directly with the community.

We remain grateful for opportunities to stand alongside partners working toward dignity, care, and meaningful presence in Indigenous communities.

As YSEALI celebrates 12 years, we look back at where our own story began.

In 2021, small afternoon meet-ups turned into Project Mountain Support.
In 2022, we were selected from nearly 500 ASEAN applications for the YSEALI Seeds for the Future grant and brought Tindahan Para sa Tanan to life with the community.

These early years shaped everything that came after.

Happy 12th anniversary, Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative , and thank you for being part of our beginning.
