The Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) is the authorized institution of the Department of Finance that accredits all NGO’s for this issuance of certificates of donation to its donors. Gawad Kalinga, after a 1-year probation, is one of the very few NGO’s that have been granted a 5-year accreditation by the PCNC. As further testimony of its respect and trust for GK organization, PCNC has invited GK’s Executive Director Luis Oquinena to sit in its Board of Trustees.
