Una sa Serbisyo, Huli sa Benepisyo

The Goodness Within

LEYTE

Brgy. Tambulilid, Ormoc


One year after Haiyan, we are inspired by the innate goodness of our partners and reminded that more than good houses, it's about presence - giving the survivors hope and showing them that truly, we will not leave them behind. Read more



"Tay, bakit ka napadpad dito sa Leyte?"

"Dahil sa asawa ko. Sa Manila kami nagkakilala."

"Mas mahal mo pala si Nanay, Tay, kasi ikaw yung lumipat dito?"

"Kung alam ko lang na taga-Leyte siya nung una, di ko na siya niligawan." *tawa*

"Magsure, Tay."

"Btaw, totoong love is blind."

San Isidro, Leyte

"I consider everything as fun when I volunteer. even the part where we have to sleep on the floor without any sleeping materials, eating the food na not my type, malipasan ng gutom, the times when we even need to hitch cars, the long rides, the sleepless nights and the cramming part.I love the the part when i get to know different stories of people and the part that really impacts me is when I see the community gather, do bayanihan and see the smiles on their faces as if telling us that they love what they are doing."


Myrell Medina, 23

San Isidro, Leyte

"Tatlong oras kami naglakad papunta dito para sa Bayani Challenge pero walang nagrereklamo at dumaan pa kami ng mga bundok. 17 kaming mga kabataan na andito ngayon. Ilan sa amin first time tumulong at karamihan sa amin first time tumulong sa ibang barangay. Excited kaming magvolunteer. At excited kami na darating din ang Bayani Challenge sa barangay namin. Totoo pala ang nakikita namin sa photos na pinakita sa amin na mga makukulay na bahay."



Reymar Beltran, 20

San Isidro, Leyte

"I am here with my sister. We don't usually agree on things but we seem to agree on helping and working for the benefit of others. And if you want something done, you do it wholeheartedly."

Kaeane Lagsub, 18

Tacloban, Leyte
