“While having our PTA meeting, one of our benevolent donors came in to hand in their financial support intended for the group’s handwashing facility. Thank you The City of Seven Lakes San Pablo City Association East Coast Chapter USA for your continuous support of the school. This has been the association’s 2nd donation to the school for its learning continuity. (1st was last school year 2020-2021).”

Help us to continue to support our “kababayans” in need!
The Journal Fundraising Committee of 2018 – 2020 relentlessly worked hard with the homeless and orphans of San Pablo City in mind. Most of them are street children, starving and forced to live a life in the absence of basic amenities. They do not have food, clothes, and homes to live safely and healthily. We felt it is our primary responsibility, as San Pablenos, to help as much as we can.
A week ago, our current president, Jocelyn Danila-Santos, visited the San Pablo City Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Center I & Center II, and St. Martin de Porres Kid’s Home. She was given a list of things they needed the most and we learn more details about their living conditions. They are in desperate need of supplies.
Center I is a homeless shelter that has 13 females and 29 males with 5 mentally challenged individuals. Ages range from 9 month-old to 60 years old. They are mostly children and they are not in school. Most of the time, they just sleep because they don’t have anything to do. We bought books, writing materials, toys, badminton, basketball, soccer ball, board games, etc. We also provided washable banigs for mentally challenged individuals for they cannot be provided with mattresses for unsanitary reasons. We hope that one day we can do more for them like teaching them some trades so they can be self-sufficient.
Center II is an orphanage that has 28 children. The youngest is six-month-old. These children attend school and we provided some school supplies for them aside from other goods. We also bought them a washing machine.
St. Martin de Porres Kid’s Home is another orphanage for boys. We supplied the goods they requested. We also assisted financially with fixing their plumbing problem. Last year, we contributed to their ceiling repair.
We are very glad to be able to provide and make a big distribution to all these facilities! It truly gave us joy and happiness that in a way we gave these individuals some comfort.
We thank our president for always taking the time from her busy vacation schedule in accomplishing our charity missions in San Pablo. We appreciate all the effort. A big thanks to our past presidents and officers: Lenny & Luchie Rodriguez, Manny & Bessie Estrellado, Renfred Mercado, and Marisonia Perez for helping out. A special shoutout also to Laguna College’s Batch 81 for their assistance.
And most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors who made this possible for us to support our less fortunate kababayans. We look forward to your continued support.
It a busy day for our President Jocelyn Danila in San Pablo City. She visited Dr. Elma Orosa-Paraiso, PTA Fundraising President of Paaralang Pag-ibig at Pag-asa (School of Love & Hope), to deliver our contribution to the school. The school is for students with disabilities, mostly from low-income families, and one of our charity projects. Dr. Paraiso has dedicated her life to supporting the needs of the students and the school.
Our president Jocelyn Danila visited Sta. Filomena Integrated School, a public school in San Pablo City, with past president and officers, Lenny Rodriguez, her husband Luciano Rodriguez, and Cecilia ‘Bessie’ Estrellado.
We continue to support the school as their principal, Cristina Calingasan Ph.D., and her educators empower their students with knowledge for a promising future.
They prepared a wonderful “Thank You” video that touched our hearts. Dedicated educators like them who make a difference to young minds inspire us to help. We are more than willing to support committed educators as they are the instrument for these less fortunate young students to be who they want to be through education and good virtues. As we are appreciated for the contributions we had done to the school, we appreciate them as educators and game-changers!
