Gift Giving

In the spirit of Christmas, as part of "Serbisyong Tinud-anay" of GMAً's Eastern and Central Visayas' local morning program, Buena Mano Balita, the show mounted an outreach program in Alaska, Mambaling for 100 badjao students of Alaska Elementary School in Cebu City.

The actual gift giving

 

Seeing the kids' smiles made our day. Christmas is indeed more special if we share with the less fortunate. But hopefully, these acts will not only last during the holiday season but all throughout the year. Happy Holidays!
