Batch31: Sitio Tilagaan

LogoWhiteOnBlack_edited.jpg

San Mateo, Rizal is just a heartbeat away from Metro Manila. However, it takes several hours to reach the town due to the worsening traffic conditions the surrounding cities experience.

​

Celebrating our organization’s anniversary, we gave some love to more than 80 families in Sitio Tilagaan. Hand in hand with the Amings, our partners in San Mateo who has been supporting our cause for awhile now. We have been doing humanitarian collaborations with them, making sure that donations are being distributed to families that needs them.

​

We gave grocery packs containing canned sardines and meatloaf, instant noodles, instant coffee & rice. For the children, we gave different sweets, ready to eat meals and box of cookies and juice.

​

Once again we wouldn’t have an anniversary to celebrate, and we wouldn’t be able to reach more families without or sponsors. We would like to extend our warmest THANK YOU for trusting and believing our cause. Maraming maraming salamat po!

A large and interconnected family, enriched with many children and grandchildren, creates joy and shared experiences.

Meet Ate Rheya, the President on Sitio Tilagaan, a small area community in Rizal consisting of 80+ families. Most of the residents here are relatives amongst themselves so its really easiy to work with each other, supporting each other and having each others backs. The richness of relationships we found here fosters a sense of unity, with each member contributing to the vibrant mosaic of family life. This is what Sitio Tilagaan is all about.

Batch39: Mobile Distribution VII (Christmas Edition)

LogoWhiteOnBlack_edited.jpg

This year’s Christmas Mobile Distribution took us to Araneta Avenue where a fair amount of homeless calls the sidewalks and medians their home. Connecting Quezon City and San Juan, the avenue is known for the many funeral home businesses that are set up in its 5km stretch. Visible are the less-fortunate individuals and families who set up their carts, tarps and cardboards providing them makeshift walls and roofs. The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 covers the entire avenue providing them shade from the tropical sun and keeping them dry from the monsoon rain. At nightfall, the skyway provides bright lights in select areas of the street giving safety and security to those who calls the avenue their home.

​

A tradition we started last year, the second installment of the night time version of our Mobile Distribution features the colorful Christmas decorations, lights and parol (Filipino Christmas lantern) of the neighborhood. At the same time, highlighting the condition of the homeless population of the Philippines as they try to celebrate Christmas and New Year despite their usual daily struggles. We stopped by several spots to bring Christmas joy through burgers and juice to some who has yet to eat dinner. Or perhaps those having their first meal of the day. What we take for granted could be the highlight of their day. And maybe for a night, they can go to sleep not starving.

​

As we end 2024, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of 1in3out. The donors and sponsors who funded every outreach. The volunteers who spent their Sundays spreading joy. To everyone who has supported and believed in everything we did. MARAMING SALAMAT PO! We have big plans for 2025… stay tuned!

​

Maligayang pasko at manigong baong taon!
