The Tuloy Foundation was founded in 1993 by Salesian priest Rocky Evangelista in a small room at the St. John Bosco Parish Compound in Makati, Metro Manila with 12 children under its care.

Evangelista after a meeting with his religious order, the Salesians of Don Bosco where he committed to head a project for street children, established a center with 10 lay volunteers.

[2] In 2001, Tuloy moved to a 4.5-hectare Streetchildren Village in Alabang, Muntinlupa leased from the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

[8][6] The Tuloy Foundation is registered as a non-government, not-for-profit organization with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission in 1996 and is licensed and accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development to “provide residential care services for disadvantaged children and youth”.

Rocky, a Salesian priest, was ordained in 1970 by Pope Paul VI in St. Peter's Square, together with 279 deacons from 65 nations.

Rocky, too, became the lead model for the rehabilitation of streetchildren, and named one of the Most Outstanding Citizens of Makati by former Mayor Elenita Binay.
