ONE Cause, ONE Fight for Junbert

Junbert Robiso was featured in many shows,  one of those are in #KMJS. Their love story become a trend in almost a million viewers while Rochelle R. Robiso, (wife of Junbert) herself served as an inspiration by many because of her dedication, strong belief and determination with what she's doing to help his husband battling from brain cancer.

She was known by people because of her different style and technique of feeding his husband whom lying on the floor for about months already.

By singing "Imagine me without you", while giving her husband a meal using NGT, because her partner cannot move nor even have the strength to chew his own food with his condition "COMMATOSE".

People then were touched by their stories and was amazed with Rochelle's perseverance and faith. Their followers worked together to helped them in their own way by giving donations, supports and prayers towards her. 

In fact, after several attempts of doing it, from 9cm Tumor, it goes down now to 1cm only. God is really good and amazing!

As of now, Junbert is still bouting for that remaining 1cm. In that case, you can join us to extend your help to permanently remove such burden on his head and considered Cancer free! Indeed, we are so excited to inform you that we will be having an event on July 04, 2017 called "Health Forum" at 7:00pm in Cinema 5, Fisher Mall Q.Ave. Q.C. All are free to come to witness how they conquered the challenges God gave to them, and how their love for each other was tested.

PARTNERSHIP FORGED TO FIGHT ROP

The Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology (PAO), Apl.de.Ap Foundation International, and WesternUnion.com team-up to reduce the number of blind babies resulting from “Retinopathy of Prematurity” (ROP) in the Philippines. ROP is an eye disease that strikes at least 10% of all premature births in the country. It is potentially blinding but preventable with timely screening and management. During the launch, the three organizations commit to develop information and promotion activities through PAO’s “Silip Bulilit” nationwide advocacy program and Apl.de.Ap Foundation International’s “Campaign for Filipino Children” initiative. These programs help create awareness of the importance of vision screening in children, especially among premature babies. The group will also work to generate resources for ROP screening training and services.

Kid Movement Brings New Hope to Tacloban Schools

It all started with kids’ vision to make a difference. They expressed their desire to save Mother Earth in the hopes of creating a world that would benefit the future generation. 

And that change journeyed to the typhoon Yolanda-stricken Tacloban. A group of empowered Filipino kids went to Tacloban to give 2,000 recycled classroom chairs. This is the product of their first-ever mission dubbed, Project RecyClass. By collecting recycled packs, kids will bring to other children of the hard-hit province new hope.  With these new chairs, empowered kids can help other children to get back to school and learn to rise again. 

  

Launched in 2013, Project RecyClass was a nationwide recycling drive supported by the Department of Education (DepEd). It was born out of a survey conducted by Tang, the leading fruit powdered beverage brand in the Philippines that revealed saving the environment is the issue closest to kids’ hearts. 

The survey, done in the second quarter of 2013, explored the aspirations of the more than 95,000 young members of the Tang Galing Club. This is an online interactive community that promotes kid empowerment; helping inspire Filipino children to go and contribute positive change for the betterment of the society.      

“This project was able to prove that kids can actually uplift lives, if only empowered to do so. Now the road of empowerment leads us to Tacloban.  We are moved to witness how a kid-led movement is about to change lives by providing hope to the future of our country—our children,” said Alex Tacderas, Mondelez Philippines Category Lead for Powdered Beverages. 

By the kids and for the kids, Project RecyClass, also accomplished in partnership with the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, was able to collect a total of 11.6 million pieces of recyclable foil packs from 50 barangays across the country. These were then used to make 10,000 sturdy plastic school chairs (via a technology available in the Philippines), aiming to supplement the need for them in classrooms. 

“The chairs that will be donated will help get kids back to school, helping create a sense of normalcy in their daily lives after Super Typhoon Yolanda. The chairs will also create a difference in the way students will sit in class, replacing broken and potentially hazardous chairs,” Tacderas added.   

With 2,000 classroom chairs allocated to Tacloban, 8,000 more will be donated to different beneficiary schools across the country in partnership with the DepEd’s Adopt-a-school Program.

Last year, Tang donated 50 chairs to Sampaloc Site II Elementary School in Paranaque City, an adopted school of Mondelez Philippines. This year, the brand is scheduled to turnover more chairs to at least 100 other public school beneficiaries.

“Project RecyClass has truly been one of the largest kid movements of its kind in the Philippines. And we are starting the year with its promise—empowering kids to make a difference that can benefit the generations to come,” Tacderas ends.

Clothes for Hope Donation Drive

Electrolux Philippines, a global leader in home appliances, in partnership with ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya and Mommy Mundo, an online portal of mom and family-focused resources, initiated the Clothes for Hope donation drive as part of its Wear Your Passion campaign to help the victims of recent calamities.

 

“It has been an unfortunate year for the Philippines as we braved through one natural disaster after another. From the earthquake that struck Bohol and Cebu to super typhoon Yolanda, these disasters have left thousands of families grieving for the loss of their homes and loved ones,” says Andrea Pionilla, Marketing Manager, Electrolux Philippines. “That is why through the Clothes for Hope donation drive, we aim to provide immediate relief to the victims by giving them the hope of a new beginning through freshly laundered clothes which will be delivered to them by Sagip Kapamilya,” Pionilla adds.

 



 

This holiday season, the entire nation is united in helping the victims of recent calamities recover from these tragedies. “Electrolux and Mommy Mundo have provided avenues for people to lend a helping hand by putting up a number of donation sites where people can drop off their pre-loved clothes, blankets, and towels,” adds Pionilla.

 

Those who wish to help can drop off their pre-loved items in any of the following donation sites: Electrolux Customer Service Hub, Makati City; Mommy Mundo Office, Pasig City; Numa Store, Quezon City; Alabang, Muntinlupa City; Promosphere Inc., Mandaluyong City; and Universal Promo Specialists, Inc., Mandaluyong City. Donations will also be accepted at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar on December 8, 2013 at the Rockwell Tent, Makati City.


Pinoy Kids Activate New Movement for Kid Empowerment

Filipino kids are on the move to change the world as Tang Philippines intensifies its advocacy for kid empowerment through the launch of Tang Galing Club Virtual World, which will be holding its first-ever clubhouse meeting for the growing number of active children who have pledged to take part in making a difference through recycling.

 

The Tang Galing Club Virtual World provides a real-life “gamified” experience of how kids can go and contribute change to the world. With the use of fun and interactive activities online, it allows them to envision and realize that inside everyone of them is a hero waiting to be unleashed.

“We believe that by tapping the ideals of the Filipino children, we can start pushing for greater changes in society. That is why Tang, the Philippines most consumed flavored beverage in the household, decided to invest in an advocacy program which aims to empower kids and tap their heroism through Tang Galing Club,” said Alex Tacderas, Kraft Foods Philippines’ category marketing manager for Beverages.  

The Club’s first real-life mission is the recycling drive called, Project RecyClass. This project aims to empower children to collect used foil packs, which will be recycled to make flood-proof plastic school chairs via a technology that is available in the Philippines. These chairs will soon be donated to selected public schools in Metro Manila, aiming to supplement the need for them in classrooms. 

The mission was brought about by the recent findings of the online survey conducted by the Tang Galing Club (www.TangGalingClub.com), which revealed that 50 percent of its young members consider “caring for the environment” as the issue closest to their hearts.

Of this, Alex said, “Recycling is a good thing to do, especially for kids. It makes them feel good to do it. By instilling that kind of mentality at a very young age, the more they become serious and feel empowered to do great things.”

In the Philippines, it is reported that around 4.6 million kilos of plastic waste are generated every day, with a significant portion of it coming from packaging materials, such as plastic foils and containers. 

Through Project RecyClass, Tang and the Tang Galing Kids aim to help address this environmental concern by reducing waste foil packs and by saving trees, since it takes three full-grown trees to create a single school chair.

“Our dedication to the country goes beyond the products and brands that we offer. We want to make a difference. And with this recycling drive, we will be able to reuse our foil packs, instead of cutting trees, to make thousands of plastic classroom chairs,” Tacderas explained.  

“But the real change happens with our empowered kids. Through this advocacy, we will be able to awaken the real heroes in them and soon show the world just how great they can be,” he added.
