ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Forty-five orphans benefited from the distribution of gifts Tuesday by the Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) at an orphanage in this southern port city.
Brig. Gen. Generoso Ponio, Westmincom deputy commander for operations, said Wednesday the beneficiaries consisted of orphans housed at the Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Barangay Talon-Talon.
Ponio, who led the distribution of gifts, said the beneficiary-orphans received food stuff, toys, and toiletries.
“This is one way of giving back and helping the less privileged without expecting something in return,” Ponio said adding: “We are glad to help children in whatever means we can.”
Myla Agustin, RSCC acting head, expressed gratitude to the Westmincom officials and personnel who joined the gift-giving.
“This kind of activity is very much appreciated, especially in your effort in finding the time to help our disadvantaged children,” Agustin said.
Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, Westmincom chief, said: “We want to reach out to the less privileged and make a difference in our lives as public servants and soldiers. We also want to enliven the hopes of less fortunate children so they will strive for a better future.”
Among the Westmincom officials who joined Ponio in the activity were Col. Leonardo Peña, Westmincom’s chief of Unified Command Staff; Col. Gerry Besana, assistant chief of Unified Command Staff for Civil-Military Operations; and other members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
