Paying it Forward: PhilHealth XI Donates to SOS Davao



  • Paying it Forward: PhilHealth XI Donates to SOS Davao
    • “Victory is a thousand times sweeter when shared.”
    This holds true for PhilHealth Regional Office XI when it formally conferred the proceeds generated from its run for a cause activity to the SOS Children’s Village in Bajada, Davao City last June 5.
    Last February 15, the entire Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), swept the whole nation with another record-breaking running event themed PhilHealth Run 2015: Ready TSeKap Go! as part of its 20th anniversary activities.
  • Paying it Forward: PhilHealth XI Donates to SOS Davao
    • In Davao City, more than 5,000 runners converged to join the cause and a total of P1.5 million was generated from this momentous event.
    Leonilo Rivero, SOS Davao’s Village Director and a product of SOS Tacloban himself, received the check in behalf of the organization’s home-based and community-based children both coming from within and beyond the periphery of Davao City, who are now under the care of SOS mothers devoted to bringing them up as their own.
    In his message, Rivero who also stood as a father to these children could not contain his gratitude saying, “I could say a million thank you’s but it wouldn’t be enough to express how truly grateful we are. This will go a long way to help the children in the village.”
    Citing the importance of health and well-being among children, he pledged to use the donation to sustain their health care needs. The same will also be used to fund their academic programs for the school year.

    • PRO XI Sub-Committee Chairperson Filbert Bryan Sollesta lauded the benevolent efforts of the organization and shared how the team came to identify SOS Davao as this year’s chosen recipient.
    “Higit po sa pagbibigay ng tirahan, pagkain, maisusuot o pag-alaga sa kalusugan at edukasyon, nakita namin (sa PhilHealth) na hinuhubog ng SOS ang buong pagkatao ng mga bata,”Sollesta remarked.

    • Also present in the turnover rites were Dr. Abdullah Dumama Jr., Regional Director of Department of Health (DOH) XI and Dr. Jocel Villafuerte representing the office of City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Both have expressed concern for SOS Davao and vouched to support the village as well as PhilHealth in their undertakings.
    The activity also highlighted the recognition of sponsors and partners from both public and private institutions who left no stones unturned just to help PhilHealth reach its goal.

    • To convey their heartfelt gratitude, the talented children of SOS Davao indulged the guests in various song and dance presentations during most part of the program. The whole activity was a meaningful and worthwhile experience for all.
    But perhaps, the most significant part is seeing the genuine smiles in the faces of these children whose lives have been touched by everyone who took part in the run. (END) (Khlea Gayle Dublin)

    Gazan buried as only known victim of Iran’s strikes on Zionist entity --- Agencies

    JERICHO, West Bank: A 38-year-old Gazan, the only known fatality in Iran’s missile attack against the Zionist entity, was buried on Wednesday. Sameh Khadr Hassan Al-Asali had been staying in a Palestinian security forces compound in the occupied West Bank when he was killed by falling missile debris during Tuesday’s attack, which the entity said was largely thwarted by its air defense systems. Security forces personnel carried the body draped in the red, green, white and black Palestinian flag. The crowd of about 200 mourners was made up of fellow Gazans staying in Jericho and local people. A large section of the rocket lay on the ground where it fell outside the compound. Around 700 workers from Gaza have been staying in Jericho, in the Jordan Valley, since the start of the war in Gaza almost a year ago. Unlike citizens of the Zionist entity, who went into bomb shelters after warning sirens sounded across the country, many Palestinians in the West Bank went out to watch the missiles ...
