Written by Administrator

“Salamat gyud kaayo sa grasya. Dako gyud kaayo ni matabang sa amo” (Thanks very much for the blessings. These are a great help for us), words of gratitude from one of the fisherfolk beneficiaries after receiving our Christmas Rice and Noche Buena Packs. TYFI partnered with the Mercedarian Missionaries of Berriz (c/o Sr Terence and their lay partners) in bringing Christmas joy to farmers, fisherfolk, candle vendors, and indigent families in Dauis and Tagbilaran, Bohol. The 355 families received P200,000.00 worth of Christmas rice and noche buena packs.

In one community, the fisherfolk beneficiaries first initiated a coastal clean-up before receiving their Christmas packs, making this project more meaningful. Sr. Terrence shared, "The merriest Christmas is when you can share your blessings with the needy. Thank you once again for your love and generosity." Our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors and partners for their continued support.

300 Families in Payatas Received Christmas Rice Packs

Written by Administrator

Dear Tanging Yaman Foundation,

Pope Francis in his general audience last December 23 reminded us that “Christmas is the feast of love incarnate, where God comes to dwell among us, drawing near to us to touch our hearts, transform our lives, and inspire us to share His love with others.”

Your generous donation of sacks of rice and Nivea products to the chapel communities in Payatas—San Isidro Labrador Chapel, Sta. Cruz Chapel, and St. Joseph Molave Chapel have truly embodied this message. By reaching out to those in need especially the sick members of our communities, you have brought God’s love and care to life in a profound way, making His presence tangible to those who need it most. These gifts have not only provided nourishment and essential care but have also reminded our communities of the hope and joy that the Christmas season brings. You have been instruments of God’s grace, allowing families to feel valued, loved, and uplifted during this sacred time. On behalf of the communities, I extend my heartfelt gratitude and prayers for the continued success of your mission. May the Lord bless you abundantly for your unwavering generosity and inspire others to follow your example of love in action.

With deep appreciation,

James Santos, SJ
Apostolate Senior
Loyola House of Studies

Written by Administrator

TYFI allocated P1 million to build temporary shelters for 150 IP Families in Aurora through the Project HOPE (Humanitarian Outreach for Pepito Emergency Response) initiated by Fr Joefran Talaban.

According to Fr Joefran: "Malaking tulong din po ang ginawa po ninyo. Feel nila na hindi sila iniwanan ng simbahan. Maipagmamalaki at ramdam nila ang pagtrato sa kanila bilang tao at hindi turing nila na sila ay pulubi at nagmamalimos. Salamat po."

Project HOPE has already turned over temporary shelters to more or less 100 families. We continue to thank all our donors and partners.
