In a powerful affirmation of its mission to restore dignity and hope to persons released from incarceration, the Prisoners Enhancement and Support Organization, Inc. (PRESO, Inc.) has been chosen as a proud recipient of a grant from the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Foundation.

The grant will support the upcoming flagship program of PRESO, Inc., “Bukas-Loob Tungo sa Bagong Pag-asa”—a transformative 6-month reintegration initiative designed to empower Persons Restored of their Liberty (PRLs) with the mindset, skills, and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives.

Launching this May 2025, the program will directly benefit at least 12 former PDLs through a comprehensive and deeply personal approach to reintegration, featuring:  

 

• In-depth Needs Assessment Interviews  

​

• Values Formation & cultivating a positive outlook  

​

• Basic Financial Literacy Workshops  

​

• Skills Training for livelihood and self-sufficiency  

​

• Job Placement and Income-generating Opportunities  

​

• Post-program Monitoring and Evaluation

​

"This is not just a program—it’s a lifeline,” says the PRESO, Inc. leadership team. “A chance for healing, restoration, and renewed dignity.  With MDRT’s support, we are building paths toward a future where second chances lead to better versions of the self.”  As part of its long-standing mission, PRESO, Inc. continues to walk alongside former PDLs—whom the organization respectfully calls Persons Restored of their Liberty—ensuring that no one is left behind in their pursuit of transformation and purpose.  

We invite the public to follow, support, and be part of this journey. Let’s transform second chances into new beginnings. Together, we can bring HOPE that shines brightest when shared.
