Continuing its advocacy program in celebration of the network's 55th anniversary, the ABS-CBN recently launched Bayanijuan feeding program at the Capiz Gym here.
The BAYANIJUAN project, under the aegis of the ABS-CBN Foundation, will lead government NGOs and the private sector to work together in the spirit of Bayanihan to revitalize and strengthen the Philippines, one community at a time.
The feeding program was conducted by employee volunteers of Bayanijuan, Bantay Bata, Sagip Kapamilya and TV Patrol News Anchor Ms. Bernadette Sembrano who flew all the way from Manila and served food, played games, gave gifts and interacted with a group of hundreds of children who are taking part in a 180 day feeding program for undernourished kids of Barangays Talon and Dinginan bringing cheers to the beneficiaries in attendance. The beneficiaries were delighted when TV Patrol Anchor Bernadette Sembrano joined the interaction activities and gave in to their requests for photos and autographs.
