Indeed, Kalinga Shines! Thanks to the serious commitment of provincial officials and leaders - mirrored at the municipal/city level. This sincere performance of duties recently led to the removal of Kalinga from the list of the poorest provinces in the Philippines.
However, like many other provinces with various types of geographical features (mountainous and far-flung), there are still many areas in the province that need the attention of community leaders, especially along the areas of education, health, nutrition, availability of water fit for human consumption, and in the field of economic advancement through livelihood opportunities.
This is where IDP Lumen Foundation would like to come in - and somehow make a considerable contribution to the whole development process, by taking the support of partners (both inside the Philippines and in other parts of the globe) and then establishing local partnership as well with various groups and elected officials in Kalinga - for the delivery of the benefits and services from IDP Lumen Foundation.

Iluminada Dinulong Panabe, the founder of this non-profit organization, was born and raised in the highlands of Kalinga, one of the provinces that comprise the Cordilleran highlands in Northern Luzon, Philippines. Growing up in a village in the municipality of Tanudan, "Lumen" (as she is fondly called by both friends and business associates alike) has known what poverty is, in all its manifestations. She then grew up surrounded by the plights of her fellow Kalinga natives - and there began the dream of one day coming back and extending a helping hand to her province-mates. While Kalinga is impressively attaining its development goals, there are still many areas in the province that can benefit a lot from the help extended by well-meaning groups and organizations. In fact, they do visit the province now and then. This is where Lumen would like to make a difference by establishing a sustained presence for the "reaching-out" endeavors of the Foundation.
