CHRISTMAS comes alive in simple acts of kindness, generosity and bayanihan. In celebration of the season, BDO Foundation distributed gift packs to 50,000 families nationwide in line with its annual Handog Sa ’Yo ng BDO Foundation Christmas gift-giving initiative.
In partnership with non-governmental organizations Ako ang Saklay, Ako Bakwit, Caritas Philippines and Tanging Yaman Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank mobilized BDO employee volunteers for the distribution, which was conducted in 90 different parishes and dioceses.
“Our goal with the Handog Sa ‘Yo program is to support families in various communities celebrate a brighter Christmas through our simple and humble contribution,” shared BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito.
More than 500 volunteers from BDO branches and head offices across the country participated in the distribution of noche buena packs, which contain holiday food items that families can serve in their gatherings. (UnliNews Online)
