Gil Derrada makes good on his P10,000 pledge for Chapel Construction


On the night of his despedida ... among old neighbors and friends ... Gil Derrada encouraged everyone to help out, "Tulungan natin para matapos na ang chapel. Ikaw, Totoy (Famatigan)? Magkano ibibigay mo? Ako, magpe-pledge ako ng sampung libo (P10,000)."

Present were Bobot Aquino, Geny Manicad, Larry Castro, Totoy Famatigan, Melvin Famatigan, Mar Rilles, Manny Tabuzo, Orlan Ramos, Marlon Camba,  Ka Boy Pascual, Eric Derrada and Pabs.

PAHABOL:
As of Feb. 6, the P10,000 pledged became a reality as Eric Derrada handed over the amount to Paul Sison, head of the chapel construction project. This was after his older brother, Gil, called from Canada with the instructions. 

Generosity and Word of Honor at its best! (PS)

WANTED: Computer Donors from present and former residents

The Twinville community is badly in need of computers for its library intended for students who do not have access to computers for their research needs.

We are appealing to present and former residents of Twinville who are now abroad or living elsewhere --- who can afford to donate Php 25,000 or about US$ 550 so the Twinville Homeowners Association, Inc. (THAI) can purchase computer sets. We believe that giving diligent students who reside in Twinville access to computers and the internet will bring out the best in them and make them excel in school.

Users of these donated computer units will be restricted from using the computers for computer games, social networking (Friendster, Facebook, Multiply, etc), and online chats. Rather, we would like to encourage them into exploring new technology as a way to broaden their horizons and excel in academics.

To pledge and donate, pls. email us at ideasman@globelines.com.ph or text us at +63917-6251963.

Samahan ninyo kaming mangarap at kumilos. Panahon na para makiisa at magmalasakit muli.

Maraming salamat po. (PS)
