Fr Manoling Visited Cebu Beneficiaries

Written by Administrator

In a recent trip to Cebu, TYF chairman Fr Manoling Francisco SJ visited Brgy Inayawan, site of the former dumpsite where residents continue to make a living by scavenging.

There, he met with Enfant Du Mekong which manages six daycare centers with the help of community volunteers. The women go to the market and cook meals every day, which the men then deliver to the daycare centers and 60 elderly residents. In a daycare center Fr Manoling visited, the space had been expanded using hardiflex donated by TYF.

He also met with some of the winners of 12 e-bikes donated by TYF that were raffled off in December 2022. By driving passengers around the community, the e-bike owner earns approx. P400/day, with P50 spent for charging the battery.

During the visit, Fr Manoling was joined by representatives of the Cenacle Sisters who provide values formation classes in the community.

Last year, the Diocese of Surigao Social Action Center (DSAC) - Justice and Peace requested TYF to sponsor the construction of new fishing boats for families who had lost their means of livelihood.

The DSAC targeted three fishing boats for each of the 13 chapels in Surigao City.

Three fishing boats have now been distributed to Kenneth Benjie P Suazo, Jeffrey L Lipao, and Nexon V Lasondra of the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel in Brgy Lisondra, Surigao City.

That's a total of 24 fishing boats so far, and 15 more to go!

7.7 Tons of Kalabasa from Pangasinan Distributed in Metro Manila

As we celebrate our 27th anniversary, Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc., stays committed to its advocacy of supporting Filipino farmers by purchasing their produce and distributing them to indigent families in Metro Manila.

On July 07 & 12, we distributed 7.7+ Tons of kalabasa from San Gabriel, Pangasinan. Parishes, feeding centers, prison ministry, and Christian communities in Metro Manila excitedly picked up the Kalabasa in Ateneo. Since May 2023, we have rescued 85.6 Tons of Kalabasa from various farming communities in Luzon.

One Social Services & Development Minister in one of the parishes that received kalabasa weeks ago shared this moving story. A neighbor knocked at the door of one of the recipients, asking to borrow P200.00 to buy food for her family. Instead of lending the money, she gave her neighbor the kalabasa with some rice. "Sa tulong niyo po, naituwid ang pamilya nila sa gutom."

May we all be bridges of hope and love to countless Filipinos. AM+DG
