Speak Bisaya Gives Back
Learn Bisaya. Help Bisaya communities thrive.
Speak Bisaya commits 50% of its net profits to supporting native Bisaya speakers and communities in genuine need. Anyone can nominate. Active paid Premium subscribers help choose who receives support.
The commitment
50%of net profits
This does not mean 50% of every subscription payment. Legitimate costs of operating Speak Bisaya are accounted for first, then half of the resulting net profit is committed to community support.
Nominations are reviewed before publication. Private contact details are never shown on the voting board.
A subscription with purpose
A simple subscription can become practical help.
As Speak Bisaya grows, the community fund can grow with it. Support focuses on genuine need and practical outcomes.
Housing and essential repairs
Support for urgent housing needs, essential repairs or safer living conditions.
Education and training
School supplies, books, learning equipment, fees or training that can open doors.
Opportunity
Practical support that can help people build skills, independence and a stronger future.
Subscriber voice
Subscribers help choose who we support.
Approved nominations are presented with only the information cleared for publication. Each active paid Premium subscriber gets one vote per support round and can change that vote while voting is open.
The first nominations are being reviewed.
No nominee will be published just to fill this space. Voting opens only after a nomination has been reviewed and approved.
Open to everyone
Know someone who genuinely needs help?
Anyone can submit a nomination. The nomination remains private while it is reviewed. If it is suitable for a future vote, we will confirm the information and consent before publishing an approved public summary.
Please do: give enough information for us to understand the need and how we can verify it.
Please do not: include passwords, bank PINs, government ID numbers or other highly sensitive information.
Important: nomination does not guarantee publication, selection or financial support.
Voting guides the decision. Verification protects the programme.
A leading vote does not override safeguarding, fraud checks, consent or eligibility. Speak Bisaya can pause or reject support where information cannot be verified or providing assistance would be inappropriate.
People first, marketing second.
Private contact details stay private. Stories and photographs are only shared when appropriate and consented to. Nobody should have to surrender their dignity in exchange for help.
Learn from the community. Give back to the community.
Your learning can help create something bigger.
Learn Cebuano for the people and conversations that matter to you while helping build a sustainable programme that shares success with Bisaya communities.
