On August 6–7, 2025, Tanging Yaman Foundation, together with our mission partner Sto. Rosario Parish, brought hope and relief to the coastal communities of Sasmuan, Macabebe, and Lubao, Pampanga. A total of 1,000 families from 14 chapels received rice packs. To reach these underserved areas, parish volunteers braved the waters, transporting the rice packs by boat so that no family would be left behind.

Fr. Arjon dela Cruz, the newly assigned Parish Priest, shared his gratitude:
“Sa bawat pagsakay ng bangka upang maabot ang bigay na biyaya, nakita ko ang mukha ng ating mga kapatid na tunay nilang pinagyaman ito, at sila ay lubos na nagpapasalamat. Naibsan ang takot, nawala ang pangamba, at naitawid ang mga araw dahil sa kabutihang iniabot ng Tanging Yaman Foundation.”

We extend our deepest thanks to our donors, mission partners, and volunteers whose generosity and dedication made this mission of love possible.

Paalam, Kuya Evs. Salamat sa pagmamahal at pag-aaruga na ipinamalas mo sa aming lahat na malapit sa puso mo. You have always made known to us how dear we are to you. You are dear to God. So fly to the Lord’s bosom and rest, faithful son of Iñigo, in God’s eternal peace and joy. Amen

Despite storms and flooding, hope reached 1,434 families in Quezon City through the compassion and dedication of the Diocese of Novaliches and Caritas Novaliches. Together with our mission partners from Saint Joseph Parish, Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish, Mother of Divine Providence Parish, Sagrada Familia Parish, San Isidro Labrador Parish, The Our Father Parish, Immaculate Conception Parish, Ina ng Buhay Parish, and San Lorenzo Parish, rice packs were lovingly delivered to families in need.

Their generosity of time and spirit, alongside the unwavering support of our donors and partners, remind us that even in the most difficult times, the light of bayanihan shines through.

With grateful hearts, we thank everyone who made this mission of hope and love possible.
