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!

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.

AHON MAHIRAP Celebrates Independence Day with "KA PARES SA PAG AHON" Activity in Quezon City

The Philippines just celebrated its 126th Independence Day yesterday, June 12th. How did you celebrate it? Stayed at home? Well, here's something you could do next time.

The folks from AHON MAHIRAP just set an example at the Quezon City Memorial Cirle grounds yesterday. They are an advocacy group aimed to promote works that hone equality, give opportunities in order to alleviate poverty. They do this with compassion, to help ease the challenges of achieving a life that is dignified, and fulfilled.

Instead of the run of the mill soup kitchen, they opted to do an activity called "KA PARES SA PAG AHON", where they serve Filipino favorite "Beef Pares" to ordinary joes, seniors, workers, kids and those who need nourishment at the park. In the event, AHON MAHIRAP President Kristine Aplal and Co-Founder Wilbert Tolentino, and several volunteers personally served these good bowls made with love as part of the Independence Day celebrations in the park. 

Here's a rundown on what happened that afternoon:

They have been doing these and other activities even before the pandemic. They later formed the organization in order to help even more people, saying having it formalized made sense. True enough, they were able to organize and have leaders in Metro Manila and in the provinces so they too could implement their projects too. 

Ms. Kristine was adamant that this will be just the start and hope to bring the "KA PARES SA PAG AHON" Project in other locations. Wilbert also wanted to serve even more kids and places where they see the need fit. If you know a place, they also are eager to hear about it on their social channels, make sure you head on to AHON MAHIRAP social channels and message them if you also would like to help. Else, you can check out their official website AhonMahirap.com for more details on how you can also help their cause.
