This was truly an exciting event as students from Lubao Elementary School waved Philippines flags upon the arrival of the KABALEN RIDERS led by our Pampanga Team Leader PATRICK REYES. Pusong Pinoy's Philippine Core Team Leaders SUSAN CHUA, BENG DIZON, and VANGIE CRUZ-REYES also attended the event and were elated by the warm reception.
Pusong Pinoy donated 1,000 children's books purchased from the proceeds of the "Bowling for a Cause" fundraising event organized by Cherry Ordonez and Terry Adeva. Some kids received free haircut and 1,700 kids received brand new slippers. Thanks to our wonderful PP Heroes for making this event a success!
