The Idea & the start of support
The RESOURCE–Handumanan Foundation, Inc. (RHFI) began as a housing and community development project led by Fr. Antonio Palacios, OAR, in partnership with the University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos (UNO-R) and Spanish donors. The initiative aimed to provide displaced families with safe and affordable homes while fostering a sense of community rooted in compassion and faith.
Over time, the foundation grew and evolved into a registered non-profit organization in 2002, broadening its mission beyond housing to include health, education, and livelihood programs. These programs were designed to uplift families in Barangay Handumanan by promoting self-reliance, social responsibility, and spiritual growth. Today, RHFI continues to embody the Augustinian Recollects’ commitment to serving the poor and empowering communities to live with dignity and purpose.

The Vision Begins
The foundation’s story started in 1991, when Fr. Antonio Palacios, OAR, of the University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos (UNO-R), proposed a housing project for displaced families from Barangay 39, Bacolod City. His compassion for the poor inspired a movement that would soon change countless lives.

The First Milestones
In 1994, with support from Manos Unidas and the Autonomous Government of Navarra, Spain, the Recoletos Quadruplex Housing Project and St. Ezekiel Moreno Health Center were inaugurated in Barangay Handumanan. The two-hectare site was donated by the Araneta-Villasor family, and the event was graced by national and international partners — marking RHFI’s first major success in community development.
