00:00Aside from the great fear for their safety,
00:07the health, livelihood, and education of those who live near the volcano, Canlaon, is also severely affected.
00:15Because of your support,
00:17it is fortunate that the GMA Capuso Foundation was able to provide assistance
00:22to three towns in Negros Occidental under our Operation Bayanihan.
00:29May God help us all.
00:31In the middle of Teacher Maribik's class last Monday,
00:35in Pasita Elementary School, in the town of La Castellana, Negros Occidental,
00:41the volcano, Canlaon, suddenly erupted.
00:45The students were not aware of it.
00:48But when they saw the thick smoke and ash,
00:52they were already covered in fear.
00:56It was like a fire.
00:57My nose and eyes hurt.
01:00Because when your eyes open, it's like it's hot.
01:08They were really crying. They were really scared.
01:10Even I was scared.
01:12I just told them to relax and pray.
01:16There were also those who got sick because of the volcanic ash.
01:21They got sick and their lungs were bleeding.
01:25The GMA Capuso Foundation immediately repacked relief goods
01:30to our partners and volunteers.
01:34We were able to provide assistance to those affected by the eruption of the volcano
01:38in the towns of Bago, La Castellana, and La Carlota.
01:4216,000 individuals were left with food packs and face masks.
01:49During the holiday season,
01:51the supply of blood to the blood banks is decreasing.
01:54When will this be necessary, according to the Philippine Red Cross?
01:59As a support, the GMA Capuso Foundation
02:03conducted a bloodletting project in Maguindanao, Baguio, and Tarlac.
02:13In the middle of the all-out war between the soldiers and the MILF
02:17in Maguindanao in 2000,
02:19one person got sick.
02:22He was the only one who donated
02:25the blood of the former 1st Marine Brigade General Chodosho
02:30to a wounded MILF soldier.
02:33I was a young captain then.
02:35There was one wounded MILF fighter
02:37and he had two gunshot wounds.
02:40And our brigade commander did not hesitate to donate blood.
02:45Caring for one's fellowmen,
02:47even if they have different beliefs.
02:49Inspired by the 1st Marine Brigade
02:52and the GMA Capuso Foundation,
02:54we conducted a bloodletting activity
02:57in Camp Iranun in Maguindanao.
03:00It was very relaxing.
03:02Everyone was united.
03:05We saw their volunteerism,
03:07their commitment and passion.
03:10We also conducted a bloodletting activity
03:13in the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio City.
03:16Every year, as part of our foundation anniversary,
03:19we give blood.
03:20No matter what, we can always save lives
03:23by simply donating blood.
03:25And also in the Training Command in Kapas, Tarlac.
03:29In this way, we can show our concern for our fellowmen.
03:34Because of your generosity,
03:36we donated 5,952 blood bags
03:42to the bloodletting activities we conducted this year.
03:46You are truly our fellowmen.
03:50More than a decade has passed
03:52since the GMA Capuso Foundation was established
03:56by Kapuso Schools in Rizal.
03:58Some calamities were also experienced by these schools,
04:02which is why some were not able to be saved.
04:05This Christmas, we have a beautiful gift
04:08for teachers and students.
04:13Leticia is taking care of her 8-year-old grandson, Denden,
04:18while her father is working.
04:20There is a rumor that there is a Kapuso School
04:23near their place
04:25where she will not have a hard time
04:27bringing her grandson to school,
04:30especially since he is already old.
04:32I am thankful to God,
04:34especially to Kapuso, to GMA Kapuso,
04:37because the GMA Kapuso Foundation
04:39really has hope in everything.
04:43Our schools were also affected by the storm.
04:50But there are also Kapuso Schools
04:52that were not able to be saved in bad times.
04:56Like Matagba Elementary School in Pililya.
05:00We were hit by a storm
05:02so up to half of the doors of our GMA building
05:09were hit by water.
05:12The windows were damaged
05:15and the doors were also painted.
05:18The building was not saved.
05:21Although it remains strong,
05:23its old age is also gone.
05:25That is why this Christmas,
05:27we have a gift for teachers and students in Rizal.
05:31Because of the help that we have accumulated,
05:35we will do a large-scale rehabilitation project
05:42here in our Kapuso Schools in Rizal.
05:47Among the things that will be fixed,
05:50the Kapuso Schools in Rodriguez, Tanay, and Pililya.
05:54We also gave give-a-gift bags
05:57to 2,855 students, including Deng Deng.
06:02Our GMA Kapuso Building will be fixed.
06:07Everyone is really happy.
06:10To those who support our projects,
06:13you can deposit in our bank accounts
06:16or send to Cebuanalulier.
06:19You can also do it online via Gcash, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
