- Chummy Chum Brings Smiles Where They’re Needed Most
12 February 2026 Caloocan City Medical Center, OPD Pedia Chummy Chum has a special place in the hearts of sick children, always bringing joy where it’s needed most. Fifteen years ago, Chummy Chum visited children at a public hospital in E. Rodriguez, Quezon City. Among the pediatric patients was a terminally ill, bedridden child whose doctor had said his life was limited. Upon seeing the Chummy Chum mascot, the child suddenly rose from his bed, full of energy, and joined in the fun and games. He delighted in the gifts and toys he received. Though he passed away shortly after the program, his mother thanked Chummy Chum for giving her child happiness in his final moments. This year, Chummy returned to spread smiles at Caloocan City Medical Center’s OPD — their second visit of the year. Children and parents were delighted as Chummy served up hot, delicious “Ginatang Mais” and held fun, simple games, turning a routine check-up into a special day. Parents, nurses, and doctors alike expressed heartfelt thanks for Chummy’s year-round love and care. Special thanks go to Dra. Sacdalan for supporting the team, and to “SM City Sucat, Zamony Venture Corporation”, and all pre-loved toy donors for making the magic happen.
- When the Party Came to Them: A Birthday Wish Answered
7 February 2026 Brgy. Zapote, Las Pinas City In places where children usually just watch cars pass by, ChummyChum chooses to stop — and turn ordinary days into unforgettable celebrations. With the barangay official’s permission, the team surprises children in underserved communities with parties created just for them. They arrived at a landfill relocation site where families who survived the Zapote fire now live in small makeshift shelters under the heat and dust. A day before, a child asked her mother, “Mama, what are we going to have for my birthday tomorrow?” The mother had nothing prepared and no words to give. All she could do was whisper a silent wish — that somehow, her child would still feel celebrated and loved. And then, as if the heavens had heard her quiet prayer, something wonderful happened. Chummy Chum’s colorful vehicle pulled over. The team set up the booth, and in no time, the children were gathered. What followed felt like magic. There were balloons dancing in the air, toys and loot bags waiting to be opened. Special gifts like diapers, pre-loved clothes, coloring book sets, Chummy Chum pillows and Besties of Joy bunny bears. The children were served with hot meals, cupcakes, biscuits and sweet juices. For the first time, the children were having a real party - a celebration that was created just for them — a day where they were the true stars. They played games, laughed loudly, and cheered with delight. And when Chummy Chum himself appeared, dancing and hugging everyone, their smiles grew even brighter. Though the visit was brief, the joy was lasting. In a place where survival is a daily reality, Chummy Chum left something powerful: the feeling of being seen, celebrated, and loved. With heartfelt thanks to SM City Sucat, Zamony Venture Corporation, Sir PJ, Ma’am Liza, and Ms. Kay for sharing their blessings through toys, clothes, and support — and for helping make magic possible.
