The Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PHILSSA), established on 31 May 1988, was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 14 February 1990 as a non-stock service network of social development non-government organizations based in urban centers nationwide. Upon its formation, PHILSSA embarked on a mission of prototyping innovative paradigms of sustainable development for the effective empowerment of urban sectors, namely, the slumdwellers, the formal and informal labor force, the youth, women, children, and the development workers themselves.
As of the year 2001, the PHILSSA network already comprised 43 partner-NGOs engaged in varied fields of development service, such as education and training, research and documentation, legal service, socio-economic and other technical support, issue and policy advocacy, and other innovative endeavors.
The PHILSSA logo
The PHILSSA logo depicts four people in a huddle, linking arms to form a collectivity or community. It shows unity and solidarity -- the essence of networking. The PHILSSA logo signifies the principles -autonomy, collegiality, subsidiarity, and complementation- that PHILSSA holds and practices in its innovative efforts to build and sustain a free, just, egalitarian, and pluralistic society within a climate of peace and empowered democracy.
