HOPE STORIES of ILOILO

 


My Bayani Challenge Experience in Iloilo



After years of advocating for GK, I finally had the chance to be involved in the frontlines by joining  the Bayani Challenge in Oton, Iloilo from May 21 to 24, 2015. It was not exactly what I expected but it was well worth it, getting involved in nation building right there on the ground. Read more

Brgy. Punta Buri, Ajuy


One year after Haiyan, the fishermen of Ajuy build back their boats, livelihood, and unwavering hope for a better future – one where their children are not as vulnerable to nature’s wrath and poverty’s cruelty. Read more



"I guess one has to love this country with passion. One has to completely believe in the vision of a beautiful Philippines. We move as one for a beautiful nation that is a sanctuary for all Filipinos. When you challenge the impossible, you will see the best and the worst but we will get through it if the team supports one another because each and everyone has a talent to share. I'm not the greatest with words, just trying to capture what's in my heart."

"My task for the Paraisong Pambata in Batad as the first community, was to share short stories that has been very significant to me. It's not difficult to tell a story to be honest, but it still was a challenge, as I was ought not just to deliver the story, but to inspire them, and leave them the impact of the stories in their values and perspective just like how the stories did to me. I thank the team for giving me opportunities in ways I can. The experience was meaningful. Not to mention, the seafood served for lunch!"

"Noong una, gusto ko lang samahan si Papa. Pero as time goes by, gusto ko rin maexperience ang ginagawa ng LGU para matulungan ang aming bayan. At gusto ko makisalumuha sa iba para makita ko kung ano pa kailangan at pwede kong maitulong as a youth."
