positive results using proven, tested and specific program steps and procedures,

treating substance and alcohol dependency, gambling, and other addictions. It
has branches in Parañaque, Quezon City, Cebu and Pampanga.
History
BH Drugs and Alcohol Rehabilitation Foundation Inc. is a center with its roots
traceable to a gathering of recovering individuals back in January of 2012 who
named the center that time as Bridges of Hope.
Bridges of Hope survived and progressed in its initial stages of sole
proprietorship and formulation until the appearance of Mr. Robert R. Ty on
January of 2014 who continued with new capital and a fresh perspective of
management involving the center’s directors and staff in its core mission and
vision. The Original Bridges of Hope Center is now survived by one of its
founding partners, Mr. Enrique Vicente Zamora, who now heads the Quezon
City Branch under the same flagship name of BH Drugs and Alcohol
Rehabilitation Foundation Inc.
BH Drugs and Alcohol Rehabilitation Foundation Inc. is a center now headed
by its President Mr. Florencio C. Bernabe III along with its executive director
Robert R. Ty and his wife administrative directress Mary Catherine H. Ty. This
dynamic triumvirate of people wanted to incorporate sound and honest
administrative practices side by side with a practical but quality filled approach
for residents and families seeking help against substance abuse the result being
an efficient and economically attainable therapeutic program for families
wishing to have their loved ones grasp a better future simultaneously winning
the battle against drug and alcohol addiction without compromising privacy and
security.
Vision
Our vision is to be the program of choice for those seeking treatment for
alcoholism and drug dependency. We will continually develop a team whose
efforts are aimed at growth, sharper focus, and improved competency.
Mission

of experienced staff and volunteers willing to grow and practice unconditional
service and good role-model ship for their clientele.
The Center aims to provide a holistic approach in addressing quantitative
behaviorally challenged and substance abuse patients without compromising
the quality of its program.
The Center aims to maintain practicality of the program package and service
with the economy of its clientele in mind so that by principle it may also sustain
its combative views to contribute versus the substance abuse menace in society
at present.
The Center would like to provide a refuge for those seeking a long-term
aftercare program that may accommodate lasting support group relationships
capable of identifying relapse traps and providing moral and therapeutic support
where it is needed whether it be during crisis or celebrative moments.
The Center would like to keep in its sights and traditions the belief in God as
the essence and center of its multi-modal approach to recovery without which
none of its programs whether they be that of the Therapeutic Community
standard or that of the twelve steps will remain effective and true to its objective
and purpose.

Table 5.2 Annual Routine
5.7.1 Events with Description
• January
§ January 1 – New Year’s Day
Many Filipinos consider New Year’s Day as an important
holiday in the Philippines. This sets the start of a new year in the
Gregorian calendar, which is used in many countries including
the Philippines.
New Year’s Day is a public holiday in the Philippines.
Government offices, schools and most businesses are closed.
Public transport is limited to reduced bus and jeep services
operating during New Year’s Day.
• February
§ February 14 – World Valentine’s Day
In the Philippines, Valentine's Day is called “Araw ng mga
Puso” in much the same manner as in the West. It is usually
marked by a steep increase in the price of flowers, particularly
red roses.
§ February 16 – Chinese Lunar New Year’s Day
Filipino-Chinese communities in the Philippines celebrate
Chinese New Year every year in hope of attracting prosperity,
closer family ties and peace. Most Filipino-Chinese families

usually clean their homes thoroughly, prepare lucky money in
red envelopes, serve sweet foods and display various food and
fruits on a table, which is believed to invite good fortune. People
also participate in parades and dragon dances that are organized
in China Towns in different cities in the Philippines.
Chinese New Year is not an official holiday in the Philippines so
all establishments remain open. However, some streets in several
China Towns in different cities may be closed to honor this
celebration.
§ February 25 – People Power Anniversary
People Power Anniversary holds a special place in the hearts of
many Filipinos as they remember a revolution that restored
democracy in the Philippines in 1986.
People Power Anniversary in the Philippines is a school holiday
only, so both public and private schools are closed. Business
remains open on this day. There is less traffic, especially in
cities, on this day, giving commuters a chance to enjoy a brief
respite from rush hour traffic woes. There is no disruption of
services in public and mass transport systems, with regular
routes and schedules remaining intact.
• March
§ March 8 – International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made,
to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and

determination by ordinary women who have played an
extraordinary role in the history of their countries and
communities.
§ March 20 – International Day of Happiness
Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated the International
Day of Happiness as a way to recognize the importance of
happiness in the lives of people around the world.
§ March 21 – World Poetry Day
One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic
diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered
languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities.
The observance of World Poetry Day is meant to encourage a
return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, to promote the
teaching of poetry, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the
other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and to
support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry
in the media, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered
an outdated form of art, but one which enables society as a whole
to regain and assert its identity.
§ March 21 – International Day of Forests
This global celebration of forests provides a platform to raise
awareness of the importance of all types of woodlands and trees,
