In 2016, De Castro was a part of U.N. Women’s Safe Cities Program, a program that aims to increase awareness and stop street harassment and sexual violence against women in public spaces. Also in the same year, De Castro established the “Glaiza De Castro Foundation” to support children with special needs. To date, more than 600 children benefited from this organization.

It traces its roots far as early as 1877, before the Philippine Revolution and is recognized as the oldest charitable association in the country today.
