A fruitful year so far for GMA Kapuso Foundation

By GMAKF

GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) – the socio-civic arm of GMA Network – rounded out the first half of the year with several successful and valuable projects envisioned to uplift the lives of underprivileged Filipinos from all over the country.

At the opening of the year, the Foundation extended much needed help to victims of Typhoon Pablo in Davao Oriental and Compostella Valley. The team distributed relief goods and other materials that are otherwise not readily available and conducted three medical missions, serving 2,765 individuals.  

Going beyond providing temporary assistance, GMAKF later on initiated the ‘Silong Kapuso’ project wherein GMAKF distributed galvanized roofing sheets, nails and roofing sealants to more than 811 families as they rebuild their homes and take shelter from the monsoon rains that were then affecting the said areas.

The Ngiting Kapuso project brought smiles to 86 indigent individuals who received a new set of complete dentures. For this year we expanded our services to include partial dentures to 12 individuals.  

The yearly summer Operation Tuli benefited 1,172 young boys who bravely underwent the procedure. For the first time this project was conducted simultaneously in 3 different cities; Quezon City, Cebu City & Butuan City.    

Meanwhile, GMAKF marked a significant feat in April wherein, it turned over 120 houses to selected families displaced by typhoon Sendong, completing the first phase of its landmark 180-unit housing project in Iligan City.

The Kapuso Village stands on a three-hectare land situated closely to the original residential area of Mandulog, which was left devastated by Typhoon Sendong. Ten fully equipped Kapuso classrooms also stand on the same location, which, similar to the Kapuso Village houses, are recognized by local and international NGOs for their durability and top-notch design.

April was truly a productive month for the Foundation as it engaged in a joint agreement with the Department of Education and the local government of Davao Oriental to rehabilitate classrooms and build new ones as a result of the widespread damage of Typhoon Pablo. Phase I of the project was completed last week of June consisting of seven refurbished classrooms and two newly constructed classrooms in four elementary schools in Davao Oriental. Phase II of project consisting of 28 newly constructed classrooms will be completed by end of July.  

The Foundation also continued with their year-round Bisig Bayan Health Projects implemented in partnership with various organizations and hospitals that share their vision of providing serbisyong totoo to 734 individuals.

Last but certainly not the least, the opening of the school year saw 75,000 smiling grade 1 students carrying backpacks with new set of school supplies from the Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan Project. The Foundation once again visited underprivileged schools in Metro Manila and in the provinces to further its cause for education.

Over all, GMA Kapuso Foundation was able to serve the needs of 88,000 Filipinos including those that benefited from the disaster relief programs, as a reflection of its strong commitment to public service. GMAKF EVP and COO Mel C. Tiangco sums it all up: “2013 is shaping up to be another fruitful one for the Kapuso Foundation. We could not have achieved what we have accomplished so far, if not for the generous support and trust of our partners, donors and of course, the general public, who make every project, regardless of scope or size, possible.”
