PAMASKO NG PUSONG PINOY 5(Christmas Gift-Giving of Pusong Pinoy)

 POSTER BY FORMER PP TEAM LEADER LANCE BUCOY

 

We are pleased to inform you that our Christmas Gift-giving Project, Pamasko ng Pusong Pinoy 5 (PPP5), is near completion. With help from supporters like you, we are well on our way towards accomplishing our year-end goals.

 

This year, we will endeavor to provide slippers to approximately 5,000 disadvantaged children and food items to 350 families. We will allocate 3,000 pairs of slippers to our recipients in Bohol who were affected by the recent earthquake in the area.

 

After PPP5, we will then launch our Disaster Relief Project to benefit the victims of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. At this time, we are in the process of identifying our intended beneficiary and target area for this project.

 

We are also currently looking to establish a partnership with an organization that could best meet the needs of our intended beneficiary and one that could best put your generous donations to good use. We will provide updated information as soon as possible. Thank you, Heroes!

2012 CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT PSAC

Last month, Pusong Pinoy was proud to be a part of "Paskohan 2012", the annual Christmas celebration of Parish Social Action Committee (PSAC) at Banay Banay, Batangas, Philippines.  PSAC has been a Pusong Pinoy recipient since 2009. Their mission is to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate in the Philippines, not only by helping them with their needs, but encouraging a positive outlook on life.   Thanks to PSAC's President LIZA DE JESUS and all the volunteers for their tireless acts of kindness and generosity to the underprivileged kids in their community. 

Pusong Pinoy donated 400 pairs of slippers, food items, clothes, shoes, toys, and miscellaneous items to PSAC for this event. We could not have done this without the support of the following HEROES.

PROJECT PPP III TURNOVER AT KABUYAO

Once again, as part of our Christmas project, "Pamasko ng Pusong Pinoy 3", our Pusong Pinoy team took a 45-minute ride up the mountains of Mt. Sto. Tomas. The magnificent view of Baguio City was equaled by the amazing teachers and children who met the team with open arms. The bigger boys of the school readily queued up to unload the jeepney containing the goodies the kids will receive. All the rest stood in lines patiently waiting for the program to begin. They prepared dance, poetry and song numbers for Pusong Pinoy to show their utmost gratitude to the people who never fail to make them feel special. The teachers expressed their unending gratitude to the Superheroes and HEROES of Pusong Pinoy for the snacks and Christmas packages containing rice, noodles, sardines, and slippers for all students of Kabuyao Elementary School. 

EACH STUDENT RECEIVED

1 apple

2 packs of ramen noodles

On December 18, 2012. Pusong Pinoy team led by PP Core Team Leader JOCEL TANEDO ESTOQUE and Team Leaders CLAUDETTE TANEDO, JENNY SORIANO OLIVA, and LANCE ROMEL BUCOY traveled to Pasig City to bring Christmas donations to the children of Little Lights Ministry.  Little Lights currently serves more than 1,000 underprivileged Filipino children, which includes out-of-school and never-schooled children.  Since 2010, Pusong Pinoy has been supporting Little Lights Ministry's literacy and feeding programs. 

During this Christmas celebration, the children and their families were treated with a nice meal (fried chicken, rice, macaroni salad, and dessert) donated by ICONS, a long-time supporter of Pusong Pinoy.   It was a fun-filled event with singing and gift distributions. We are truly grateful to all Pusong Pinoy Heroes who stepped up once again and donated the following items to make sure that the children and their families of Little Lights Ministry enjoy the holidays:

250 apples

500 ramen noodles

250 kilos of rice (5 sacks of rice)

250 cans of sardines

Each child received

1 apple

2 ramen noodles

PROJECT PPP II TURNOVER AT KAPANGAN

BY PP HERO OLIVE GRACE BINWAG

Pusong Pinoy Team Baguio-Benguet, through the initiative of Team Leader BYD BAWAYAN and Vice Team Leader Joanne Suyam and in coordination with The Baguio Fountain of Life – Singles’ Ministry and Pastor MARLOU BERSAMIN of Heritage Bible Baptist Church, reached out again a little further as they shared a joy to the kindergarten and elementary students of Barangay Sagubo, Kapangan, Benguet on December 27, 2010.

Reaching Barangay Sagubo was a three-hour off-road trip from the City of Pines passing through roads and bridges still under repair after being washed out by the super typhoons Pepeng (2009) and Juan (2010). These calamities did not spare our target area.

According to Pastor Marlou, the community could have moved on if it were not because of the latter typhoon that destroyed most of their crops and livestock about three months ago. Just like other affected areas, we felt a pang somewhere in our guts.  This sad feeling leaped away as we saw the kids running towards us when we reached the area. As young as you can imagine, the children gladly helped us carry the books and other items we brought up the hill where the temporary church building is standing. Considering the distance and off road trip, not to mention the ruined bridges, this four-year old church has had barely a support.

After few moments of catching up with the Sunday school teachers, parents, and children, we learned that some children hiked two hours to reach the church. Another thing that struck us was that the church is near the school where these children attend everyday. Imagine a two-hour hike to school everyday? Nevertheless, we did not hear nor see any sign of complaint among them. What we saw were excited children who can’t wait to enjoy and receive our gifts!

Before the turnover activity, the children prepared song numbers and a play which gave us the message “Jesus is the Reason for this Season.” They also handed out Christmas and Thank You cards which they personally made to show their deepest gratitude and appreciation for Pusong Pinoy. VTL Joanne did not expect such preparation of the children that her eyes welled up with joy.  They also played games, candies were given to them, and everybody had so much fun!

As they settle down while enjoying the candies, they patiently waited for their gifts from PP heroes: school supplies, toys, slippers, rice, etc.  The kids were most excited at the part when they have to pick a brand new pair of slippers.  More than 40 children made it to this event. Some couldn’t make it becaue it was quite a hike to the church.

Here are the gifts that the children of Kapangan received:

Daycare -  Preschool (13 students)
1 pair of slippers

1 coloring book

1 eraser
1 box of crayon

1 bracelet
10 pencils
1 kilo of rice

Grades 1 - 2 (10 students)
1 pair of slippers

1 eraser

1 bracelet
7 pencils
5 notebooks
1 kilo of rice
1 story-coloring book

Grades 3 - 4 (13 students)
1 pair of slippers

1 eraser
1 bracelet
3 notebooks

5 pencils
1 story-coloring book
1 kilo of rice

Grades 5 - 6 (9 students)
1 pair of slippers

1 eraser

1 notebook

1 pad paper

1 bracelet
5 pens

1 kilo of rice

For those children who were not able to attend, the school items were turned over to the Sunday Care Teacher Gemma and the remaining slippers were turned over to the church.  The remaining kilos of rice were turned over to Pstr. Marlou.  Because of the long hike to the church, some members eat at the church for lunch before going back to their homes.  During this event, the mother members of the church provided snacks and lunch - kamote (sweet potato) and pinikpikan (traditional food of the Igorots).

As a culminating part of the activity, Pastor Marlou extended his thanks and gratitude to Pusong Pinoy especially to the PP heroes who were kind enough to share what they have to these children. He assured these gifts will be used in the right way and that these children will always be grateful for what they have received. He also instructed the Sunday school teachers to have a library corner where they can put the books so children can enjoy reading. 

God bless Pusong Pinoy! May you reach out more children!
