22 December 2023 (AM 2) Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) Part of the team’s itinerary for the day, as the Chummy Chum team joined the partner donors every end of the year, in visiting unwell children from different public hospitals for children bringing gifts and joy to every child, the 2nd stop (after the NCH) was in the Philippine Children’s Medical Center. The team went directly to the Pediatric-Hema Ward to meet the children who have been afflicted with blood diseases mostly leukemic patients. Chummy Chum (the mascot) himself personally handed over the gifts to each one of them. For a while, the children felt physically well as they watched Chummy Chum and the team walk around with the Noche Buena baskets and special gifts beautifully wrapped and prepared just for them, and just to have a little time with Chummy Chum at their bedside would get them truly excited. Special thanks to our long-time voluntary partner-donors Clearlogic Inc, who have been helping every charity event possible; as well as Ms. Elaine, Cacao&Com, WeCarePH, and Mam N. for the added fun.

22 December 2023 Heart Warrior from Paranaque City Chummy Chum and the team spent time with the children who may have the basic needs but not the privilege to do all the things that normal kids do. They have fragile hearts, a condition that they can’t laugh out loud, they can’t scream for joy, they can’t play hard with the other children and just be a happy kid. With their condition, the team managed to put a smile on their faces that describes how happy they were inside. Special thanks to Clearlogic, Inc. for helping making every charity event possible, as well as to Ms. Ainah, Ms.Sheila, and Ms. Elaine for the food and special gifts.

20 December 2023 (AM) Along the Train Railways Alabang, Muntinlupa The children from families dwelling along the train railways are the ones who never complain about the lives they live in. They are born to survive and help their family to get by every day. For them, happiness is all about the food on their table that they were able to provide from the day’s hard work. They are the children that the Chummy Chum team is dedicated to visiting at least every other month. On this day, the team brought not only food but toys and special gifts.

Sto. Nino, Paranaque on a Thanksgiving Year-End Charity Event. The Chummy Chum team hurriedly traveled from their first event in the morning from Sta. Ana, Manila, but was caught by a traffic jam during the holiday season. The Lineage and the Makati Lion’s team saved the day as they were at the venue earlier and started the setup while the 400 square meters covered court started to fill with children. The event started by the Lineage team with parlor games and was soon backed up by the clown duo, which made the children more alive. Hot chicken "sopas" were served as well with the hot sweet "taho" along with varieties of bread and pastries. It was not easy to control a large crowd of children, but thanks to the clown duo and the full-force support of the members of the Lineage Corporation who patiently guided the children. Finally, the Chummy Chum team arrived and quickly set up the popcorn and cotton candy carts and tables with special prizes. The children lined up for the cotton candy and popcorn and winners of the dance and song contests formed a queue to claim their prizes from the Chummy Chum booth. The children were very happy and excited as they looked around seeing all the toys, gifts, and food prepared by the Lineage and Makati Lion’s team just for them. The most fun part was when Chummy Chum joined the children in a dance performance and posed for a few pictures with them. The event ended with gift-giving prepared by the Lineage Corporation. Just before the day ended, Ms. Gina Galleta invited all the collaborators to a fine dinner at a restaurant near the venue. Thanks to PubG for a delicious and satisfying dinner. Everyone was tired but all went home with happy hearts fulfilling a noble mission to serve the less fortunate. Thanks to all who make this event possible.

17 December 2023 Missionaries of Charity (Alay ng Puso) The founder of the Chummy Chum Foundation together with the Businessmen’s Club (BMC) wished to spend time with the children of the Alay ng Puso Orphanage (Missionaries of Charity). The Chummy Chum team planned it carefully as they always wanted to make that special event perfect for the children. The team prepared following the requests of the sisters from the orphanage and the wish of the founder for the children. So there were toys for little girls and boys, baby toys and diapers for children 1 year and below; and new clothes and shoes for all the children. The program started a little later than scheduled as there was an ongoing charity mission when the team arrived. The BMC and the founder got there earlier too, but they patiently waited for the program to start. The program started at 10:30am. The ventriloquist hosted the event and welcomed the guests and participants. Opening prayer by Sister Ella officially opened the program, followed by parlor games participated by the BMC and volunteer students as the children were tamed and shy to play. The host persistently encouraged the children to participate by giving out prizes for all who participated, so when the first participant received a prize, some of the children, though still shy, played the games prepared just for them. Everyone was a winner and got a special prize. After a couple of games, a puppet show and magic show followed. But the most fun part was when Chummy Chum came out and joined the children. Chummy Chum performed a dance number. Then, the BMCs and the founder started to personally hand over the gifts to each child, they also served the volunteers with popcorn. Special gifts were the new clothes and shoes for all the children. The volunteers, caregivers and sisters dressed up the children. They were amazed that the clothes fit perfectly to each child's size. New clothes were partnered with new shoes. The little girls were glammed up with colorful hair mini-clamps. They all looked so beautiful. Chummy Chum patiently waited and posed for some photos with the children along with guests and volunteers. Delicious food was served and all the children gathered around the table. While the children were having a feast inside, the Chummy Chum team went out and distributed rice packs to families who live around the orphanage. It was a Sunday, supposed to be a rest day for everyone, but the BMC, the founder and Chummy Chum team did not think twice to serve as they knew how much joy that day would bring for the children. Special thanks to the father of Chummy Chum and the BMC for making all this possible. (We intended not to disclose the photos of the children for their protection.)

6 November 2023 CSWDO Children's Month Every year the city of Paranaque invites the Chummy Chum Foundation to the Children’s Month town celebration, to bring joy and share the blessing with children from the orphanage, those who are under the care of DSWD, and those who dwell along the streets of Paranaque. Chummy Chum has been known to many children in the city, and nearby towns. He (the mascot) and the team have been frequent visitors in orphanages, public schools, public hospitals, and centers for children with special needs. Regardless, of how familiar Chummy Chum is to most of the children, it always gives them chills and joy every time they see him (the mascot). \ On this day, the team prepared 200 sets of popcorn and cotton candy as well as yummy snacks, along with special gifts and toys, for all the children. They were all very happy, even happier when Chummy Chum appeared with a dance performance that challenged the city Mayor who also did a dance performance for the audience. A special thanks to the beloved city Mayor and the father of Paranaque, as well as to all generous partner donors who shared their blessing to make every child happy on that very day.

28 October 2023 Feeding Program 4th Estate, Paranaque City 4th Estate is one of the largest barangays in the city. One part of its land accommodates the poorest of the poor families. This was where Chummy Chum chose to conduct a feeding program where many children were starving and barely had food in a day. When the children learned that the Chummy Chum team was coming, they patiently waited in a long queue, on a steamy sunny day. The volume of the children in the line was a little overwhelming as it was more than what the Chummy Chum team expected to be many children. Every child received a set of sandwiches and cold freshly mixed fruit juice, along with toys, food items, and pre-loved toys. About a hundred children were very happy. The program went well and peacefully with the help of the leader and representatives from the area. Special thanks to Clearlogic, Inc. for helping making every charity event possible, as well as to WeCarePH, and to those who shared their pre-loved items for the children.

The Chummy Chum team prepared yummy treats, gifts, and special giveaways for all the children. He (the mascot) himself assisted in the distribution of the gifts.

21 October 2023 Birthday Charity Event of Sir Jaro Reception and Action Center, Manila Sir Jaro is new to the Chummy Chum’s Smile For Me Little One Program (SFMLOP). He learned about it through the foundation’s website. He inquired by email and then a memorable day happened. Sir Jaro wished to celebrate his birthday in a meaningful way, thus having it with the children who needed help the most. The Chummy Chum team chose to celebrate Sir Jaros’ special day with the children sheltered at a home supervised by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Reception and Action Center or RAC, wherein children who have lost tracks in life are accommodated, counseled and guided to the right path. RAC has gathered more children of families from the poorest of the poor communities in Manila, to join the charity birthday party of Sir Jaro. The Chummy Chum team, on the other hand, made sure that Sir Jaro’s wish would be fulfilled beyond his expectations. The team maximized all the resources making it big for the event. The team also secured the place to be peaceful and safe with the help of some volunteers from the DSWD. Sir Jaro came just in time along with some of his friends to help carry out the program. The program was hosted by a couple of funny clowns who brought some fun games and magic tricks that certainly entertained the children. The house was filled with joy. The laughter of the children brings positivity in every corner of the room. The children got more excited when Chummy Chum (the mascot) came in and joined them in a dance performance. The children were so happy that they could not resist hugging Chummy Chum as if they did not want to let go of him. Sir Jaro and his friends also joined the children and Chummy Chum in the games and even got playful with a few dance moves with Chummy Chum. At the height of the program, cotton candy and freshly cooked popcorn were served. Later on, sumptuous food was served and the children were showered with gifts from Sir Jaro and the Chummy Chum team. Sir Jaro himself helped in handing over the gifts to each child. So many foods like spaghetti, lechon, fried chicken, pizza, and birthday cake were prepared, that the children got a chance to take some for their families at home. The event was brief but certainly one of the most memorable for Sir Jaro, the children, and Chummy Chum. The Chummy Chum Foundation wishes Sir Jaro good health, a successful career, and a happy life with his loved ones, families, and friends.
