Chinese New Year Buffet for a cause at La Tolda


Mga Kaibigan Ng Mga Kabataang may Kanser (KKK, Inc.) is a non-stock, non-profit corporation formed in 2007 in iloilo by a small group of doctors and other concerned citizens, with the objective of providing financial support for chemotherapy to cancer-stricken children, who come from indigent Filipino families that can even barely feed their members. These poor families never had a budget for medical needs, more so for expensive chemotheraphy and/or radiotherapy. In fact, most of these children with cancer die because the necessary treatments were not availed of, due to financial constraints. Costly cancer treatment forces many children and their families to drop their plans for the future and just focus on surviving in the present.

KKK was formed not to fight against children’s cancer, but to fight against the hopelessness that the kids with cancer and their family feel. I guess that’s the most important intangible contribution that KKK gives. We try to help them financially for the chemotherapy of the kids, and hopefully emotionally by letting them feel that they are not alone and that they can turn to us for support. “Never, never, never give up”… And that says it all…that there’s always hope.

The mission of KKK, Inc. is to ease the financial burdens that many indigent Filipino families face while pursuing quality healthcare for a child with cancer.
The KKK, Inc. raises its own funds to help provide and improved quality of life to indigent children with cancer and their families by supporting their medical treatment and through enhancing their emotional, social and physical well-being.

This will achieved by granting financial assistance by supporting their chemotherapy and other medical needs, providing counselling, setting up support groups, educating the families and promoting public awareness.

On February 10, 2013, in celebration of Chinese New Year, KKK will welcome the Year of the Snake with a fund-raising DINNER BUFFET,in cooperation with Hamada, Hong Kong Kitchen and Red Corner restaurants, top restaurants in Iloilo, which will serve the best of Cantonese and Japanese cooking for that evening. Proceeds from this event will help KKK to sustain the chemotherapy of our children beneficiaries. Tickets will be sold at 550 pesos each.

Connie Carillo Diversified Farm in Bingawan: Helping Sustaining a Healthy Community Through Farm Schools

The area around the town of Bingawan, the edge of the central portion of the province is where it ends and the town of Tapaz, Capiz province begins and is very much another unsung corner of Iloilo with warm, friendly, welcoming people. Bingawan has some rich farming land and farming is at the heart of its village life. The landscapes are gorgeous here; with gentle pastures, to the high mountains. The area offers some beautiful hikes and bike trails across its lovely rolling meadows, woodland and a few working farms.

With the governments’ efforts to improve the knowledge and technical skills of the farmers, the Connie Carillo Diversified Fa...

St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo's The Deck

While most malls around the country host Sunday masses in some obscure hallway filled with plastic chairs with a makeshift altar, some malls have built niches or transformed unused spaces into places of worship. And Ilonggos should be proud that one of the newest malls in Iloilo City has actually a chapel located in a prime spot and one that boasts both beauty and serenity.  The St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo is located in one of its al fresco areas known as The Deck located  at the 3rd level. While this open air area also has a mini plaza and dog park (and soon - cafes and restaurants) it is the chapel that highlights this al fresco part of the mall. Eucharistic mass services are held every Sunday at 11am while first Friday masses at 5pm.  It is open to the public everyday for personal moments of silence and solitude. The Deck and everything in it is open from 10am to 10pm with the entrance located betwee...
