Munting Ngiti Para sa Batang Munti last December 13, 2025, at DRT Covered Court proudly marks its 11th yearโan annual initiative spearheaded by Youth for Empowerment and Progress Muntinlupa (YEP Muntinlupa) and the Patdu Compound Youth Organization, in partnership with Kagawad Paul Bono Teves of Barangay Putatan, Barangay Chairman Gerry Teves, and SK Putatan. What began as a simple act of service has grown into a sustained commitment to bring hope, joy, and meaningful experiences to children in our community.
This yearโs celebration was made more meaningful through the generous support of Itโs Showtime Sample King Jhong Hilario and Ms. Maia Hilario, together with Hapee Kiddie Ambassador Sarina Oceanรญa Azores Hilario, who personally joined us in the distribution of gifts. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Lamoiyan Corporation, one of our major sponsors, for their invaluable support. Witnessing the happiness of 150 children this Christmas season truly reminded us of the power of collective generosity.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Our appreciation also goes to Dr. Paul Dela Vega, YEP Adviser and Founder, for his constant guidance and inspiration, as well as to all our partner youth organizations and volunteers who made this event possible.
Despite the challenges and fatigue, seeing the genuine smiles of the children made every effort worthwhile. In our own way, we hope to have made their Christmas season brighter.
May we continue to lead with compassion and serve with purpose.
