Oplan Pagpapala 2

Folsom Arts Inspires, with partnership of concerned citizens of Dasmarinas, Cavite launched Oplan Pagpapala 2. This is to provide relief efforts to the Typhoon Pedring victims in Calumpit, Bulacan last October 15, 2011.

Last Sept 2011, Luzon archipelago was hit by super Typhoon Pedring where many places in Luzon specially Calumpit, Bulacan were hampered by the typhoon with up to 7 feet flood. Many infrastructures including agriculture crops, residential houses were severely damaged leaving some family almost nothing but their lives. Folsom Arts Inspires Volunteers (Folsom Arts volunteer staff) started to organize a relief effort to provide relief goods for the typhoon victims. With the help and partnership of concerned citizen of Dasmarinas, Cavite, the team managed to provide and distributed the following :
•550 bags of relief goods (Canned Goods, Noodles, Rice, Toothpaste, Soaps, Used clothing, etc.)
•300pcs of walis tingting.

Relief goods distributed at NV5 village under Brother Umali. The volunteers who distributed the goods were also amazed and inspired how the community unites as they all work together to clean up their barangay after the typhoon. "Sa panahon ng mga ganitong kalamidad, lumalabas ang tunay na diwa ng bayanihan at pagkakaisa ng mga Pilipino".

 

 

 

Folsom Arts Inspires is a volunteerism and corporate responsibility program of Folsom Arts. Folsom Arts Inspires, derived from our motto "Bringing colors to every Filipino's Dream" which to inspire our community by volunteerism, to bring hope and inspiration that there is hope in our country.

"Tulad ng ibang mga ibang Filipino companies, ninanais ng Folsom Arts na maging kabalikat ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng volunteerism at paglulunsad ng mga community services para sa kapakinabangan ng mga Pilipino. Ito ay hindi mangyayari kung hindi dahil sa tulong ng mga volunteers at mga taong patuloy na tumatangkilik sa Folsom Arts."

Oplan Pagpapala

September 26, 2009 is the day that won’t be easily forgotten by many Filipinos, it was a sudden tragedy cause by outpouring of heavy rains for only few hours, but the effect was devastating...

Many families lost their homes, possessions, and for some - their loved ones.. Manila was not the only area affected by Ondoy, Laguna area was greatly affected too.

October 1, 2009, Folsom Arts paved a way to help our fellow Filipinos in Laguna area who were victims of Typhoon Ondoy. In cooperation with Church of God Dasmarinas - Theater Arts Ministry, Intel PCG Group, and Designer's Artwork Center.

Using the Folsom Arts van, bringing food, clothing, and medicines to the victims.
The volunteers were privilege to pray for them too.

 

 

We Filipinos are known for “Bayanihan” - a spirit of unity and effort to achieve a particular goal. This is one of those times that we really need to put “bayanihan” into practice. We need to put aside all our differences and work together to help the victims of Ondoy.

Let's continue to pray for the countless families who were affected by Ondoy and hope that they’d get the help that they need and be able to recover as soon as possible.

GOD Bless the Philippines!
