PCMC – A Constant Venue for Chummy Chum in Giving Joy to the Children

7 February 2026

Philippine Children Medical Center (PCMC)

Quezon City

 

For 16 years, Chummy Chum has been a familiar and welcome visitor at PCMC, bringing joy to children at the OPD with every visit.

Before sunrise, the team was already preparing a special pot of warm Arroz Caldo, eager to serve comfort along with toys and surprise gifts. Riding the Chummy Chum van via the expressway, they made sure to arrive right on time.

Upon arrival, a spacious area was ready for them. Popcorn began popping, tables filled with colorful toys, and excitement quickly spread through the room. The team shared an uplifting message and thanked the donation committee for once again opening their doors.

They learned that many of the children were new patients who had never met Chummy Chum before. But any uncertainty disappeared the moment the mascot stepped out and burst into dance. Laughter replaced shyness, and soon children were happily lining up to choose their free toys and enjoy their hot meals.

Grateful smiles from parents and the donation committee filled the space, a reminder of how small acts of kindness can brighten even the hardest days.

Special thanks to Ms. Elaine for the additional toys, food, and balloons.

Appreciation also goes to SM City Sucat for the bunny bears, Zamony Venture Corp for the diapers, and Ma’am Jane for the pre-loved toys.

Sixteen years on—and the joy continues.
