Foundation Benefited 1,000 Individuals with Make-a-Wish Program

Looks like the holidays have been very apt for the folks from DigiP1us and their social arm Bing0P1us Foundation because they've been a very giving mood through their "Sagot ng Bing0 ang Regalo Mo Program" which is part of their community efforts aimed to help those who need it most in 24 cities just last year. 

Their executives and employees (mostly volunteers) made sure wishes from 45 folks were screened meticulously, as part of their Make A Wish program and their holiday activities nationwide. This was supported by their Executive Director Anglea Camins-Wieneke who puts this as one that could spark hope, love, that could impact the lives of those who are in the community.

To solidify the campaign, they also created a series called ChristPlus Stories, mostly about love and sacrifice that were shown on their social channels. The heartwarming videos elicited really good feedback from netizens, and those who were able to learn a thing or two about relationships, and kindness.

DigiPlus Interactive/BingoPlus Foundation Continue CSR Efforts in Typhoon Stricken Areas

It's been a devastating couple of months as typhoons ravaged the country. The recent one being Typhoon Carina and has affected people from Metro Manila and the island of Luzon. This prompted DigiPlus Interactive and their CSR efforts to make sure they get mobilized in different communities especially those who have been severely affected by it. Together with the DSWD, they got to bring essentials for 15,160 families. They went there with Digibuddy volunteers to make sure re-packing and distribution would be done without a hitch.

The affected barangays in Marikina, CAMANAVA, Rizal, and Central Luzon were given relief goods and toiletries including those who are in the DSWD shelters that function as a home for street children and the homeless. They also provided rice and milk for them during the activity.

With the help of their foundation, they also built rainwater collecting tanks with filters so they could benefit those who are also struggling with potable, clean water. They also taught children in school needed disaster preparedness skills so when the time comes, they would be able to weather through challenges. This includes IP's from the Dumagats, and vulnerable communities. This is part of their efforts to make sure that the Philippines remain resilient and stronger, and implement their CSR programs in line with it.

These are good things that should be multiplied!
