Hakbang Buhay 2012

A meaningful start of the year…

On Friday, 6^th of January, Giordano participated in the “Hakbang Buhay 2012 – Walk for Life Sendong (Washi) Victims” organized by the Philippine Business Council.This was an auspicious time to show our support not just to the community where we work but to extend it to the loved - ones of our community. 

 

The devastation caused by typhoon “Sendong” (as it’s locally known in the Philippines; international name: “Wash”) was beyond anyone’s imagination.  Towns and villages were ravaged at a time when people were peacefully asleep.  The loss of livelihood, homes and lives are simply beyond anyone’s grasp.  

When the opportunity for Giordano to help the victims of “Sendong” came up, we immediately signed up for it. You see, within Giordano’s culture, helping the community is big on the agenda – and this is a chance for us to be involved. We were overwhelmed by the support of the community to take part in this initiative and the concern and love for fellowmen shown by each and every participant of the Friday walk.  From babies to elderlies, from abled-bodied to handicapped, from people of different beliefs – we were all one in answer to a call for humanity.

Our indomitable spirit of support was stronger than the disaster itself.

Thank you for all your support.

It is a Happy New Year!
