PascualLab Takes Sponsored World Vision Kids to #PascualLove Journey!

It looks like the cool people from Pascual Laboratories Inc. are making their days count by partnering with World Vision and the children that they hold as scholars in different educational institutions across the country. Present during the tour and visit were David Riofero the Public Affairs Manager of World Vision Philippines, Pascual Lab's SVP and Cheif Manufacturing Officer Hignio Porte and their executives at the Pascual Lab Bulacan facility.

World Vision also awarded the Pascual Lab team with their Certificate of Appreciation for their efforts with World Vision and their communities. Volunteers (comprising also of Pascual Lab employees) explained the history and innovations that the company has achieved over the years. This happened last June 4, an activity that got both elementary and high school scholars to participate and learn about the company's rich history, in hopes they also learn from it.

The 4 year partnership had surely been able to produce graduates, improve the lives of several kids, teens, so they too would be able to help their family, and community. They also had programs in health and nutrition, education, values formation, religion, child protection, entrepreneurship, disaster preparedness and emergency response fields.

If you want to help just like Pascual Laboratories Inc., visit them at worldvision.org.ph and become one with them in changing the lives of kids here and elsewhere in the world!

Bianca Umali, Inigo Pascual, and Enzo Pineda for World Vision’s “Hope Town”

World Vision has been helping kids, their homes and the community for years now. For non sponsors like me, you must be clueless about what they are doing especially if it comes to sponsoring a child through their organization. A few days ago, we got the chance to see it ourselves through a mock child house they call Hope Town wherein they replicated a real life house of beneficiary child called Nica. She lives in a shanty in the ourskirts, off the shores of Cebu.

Their house has a small kitchen, a place to sleep, and a little garden outside their sort of 2x3 meter house (merely a box). I felt claustrophobic and saw how they could have survived in a place that small without that much money to fend for food or schooling. I guess that’s exactly the type of kids that World Vision is helping, and this is nice to understand how it looks like in real life. If you sponsor a child, it would help them get access to education so they can help themselves, so they could work and go have better jobs and help their families. Celebrities like Bianca Umali, Inigo Pascual, and Enzo Pineda joined in and saw the launch of World Vision’s experiential booth. In “Hope Town”, they got to attract a lot of people to join in and understand a bit more about their advocacy, of course it got crowded so fast and people learned about the plight of Nica.

World Vision and their programs a very effective. It gives chance to kids like Nica to excel at school, to eventually have her own success story just like several people who lead the organization too. A lot of them have already graduated, feels like a family as they also get in touch with their donors to personally say thanks about helping them. That is so touching. The Hope Town display is just at the top floor of Trinoma in front of Krispy Kreme, go visit it and perhaps, make it your turn to help a person who would like to go to school like Nica. 

World Vision and DOH Strengthens Philippine Milk Code Implementation

In simple ceremonies at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City, World Vision in Partnership with the Department of Health launchrd a project for implementing Executive Order 51 more known as the Philippine Milk Code. They have been steadfastly supporting this project for a few years already and with the advent of changes in it's implementing rules and regulations, it's now going to be easy to report violations that would fall under this executive order. This included corporations and establishments that have no lactation facilities, no lactation breaks for employees and anything that would fall under this lot.

There would be three main channels Moms could go to namely the www.mother-babyfriendlyphilippines.org website, the Mother Baby Philippines app through Google Play and the App Store and through SMS. On the website simply fill out the form under the SUBMIT A REPORT button on the main page, on the app click on the REPORT VIOLATION button and follow the procedure listed there, and for SMS, just text Name, Location, Date and Time of Violation, and details to 292906237. You will get confirmation that your report has been received. They will make sure that your report will be kept confidential, and will be acted upon by agencies concerned with the report. It'll be taken cared of and they will get in touch with you if needed. This way, the implementation will be strongly enforced and monitored by dedicated teams in our locale.

Ms. Carleneth F. San Valentin, the Technical Manager for Health and Nutrition under World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. said "Thank you for gracing us, I would like to thank you all from the Mother Baby Friendly Philippines team of World Vision, to celebrate us with victories big or small. We will make more women realize that breastfeeding is a biological norm."

It looks promising, I can't wait for this to be seen implemented all throughout the country. Congratulations World Vision and DOH!
