Last June 2025, my orgmate (Shawie) invited me to go on an outreach program for Mangyan people in Mindoro. It was apparent that she and her churchmates had a long tie with the tribe. She also mentioned that they always make a visit to the tribe every year, and I could tell they had been close with the tribe for a long time.

I've realized that bringing smiles to children has helped me a lot in becoming a more empathetic person.
