After a gap of three to four months, the Chummy Chum team returned to Novaliches District Hospital, answering the heartfelt request of the hospital administration to visit more regularly. During the previous visit, doctors and staff witnessed how children at the Pediatric Outpatient Department (OPD) bravely endured their medical treatments while still finding joy in the fun and laughter Chummy Chum brought. Hoping to recreate that moment, the hospital humbly asked the foundation to return—if possible, even on a monthly basis.
The Chummy Chum team gladly granted the request, not for recognition, but purely for the children.
Upon arrival, the hospital’s main lobby was filled with excitement and anticipation. The children eagerly awaited the magical moment as the TV monitor played the Chummy Chum jingle, instantly lifting spirits and setting the tone for a joyful day.
As the team prepared the booth, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff enthusiastically lent a hand, sharing in the excitement. A mini-program was held at the Pediatric OPD and was hosted by the Chummy Chum Event Team Lead. Carefully planned parlor games were conducted—perfectly suited to the limited space and mindful of the children’s medical conditions. For a while, worries and discomfort seemed to fade as laughter filled the room, especially when Chummy Chum himself appeared to join the fun.
Although health and safety protocols prevented Chummy Chum from dancing closely with the children, the magic was undeniably present—reflected in the wide smiles and sparkling eyes of every child in the room.
The hospital administration expressed their sincere gratitude to Chummy Chum for once again bringing love, joy, and unforgettable moments to their young patients.
Special thanks are extended to Zamony Venture Corporation for the donated diapers; Ms. Chescka, Sir PJ, and Ms. Dianne of SSS 5th Floor for the pre-loved toys, clothes, and shoes; and ELI for the brand-new undergarments. Your generosity helped make this magical day possible.
