“As the world fights this pandemic, it is only just to share more of our blessings to groups who are trying to make a difference in these challenging times,” Dr. John C. de Leon, DA-PhilRice Executive Director, said.
Proceeds from the activities were given to Talikala Inc. (talikala – Cebuano word for chain), a human rights group against human trafficking and prostitution; Home for Girls ; and Jeremiah Foundation, a non-government organization focused on breaking the cycle of poverty through education programs.
