AS the Christmas season enveloped us in its joyous preparations, a heartwarming reminder of the true essence of the holiday came from Donita Tapay and her company D&F Foods, Felinor Villar, Mohammad AlShahrani, Katrina Saludes and Denver Calalang.
Accompanying Tapay was Ramon Matabang, a former president of the Civil Registry Office in the Philippines for over three decades. Together, they brought not only sustenance but also hope for lasting change.
Matabang's presence at the event was particularly significant as he collaborated with Tapay on her initiative project, "Oplan Birthright."
Tapay emphasized, "Christmas is not just about giving gifts and spending time with our families; it's about extending that love to those less fortunate and reminding everyone of God's boundless love for all of us."
Through her unwavering commitment to the underprivileged, Tapay's ongoing projects, including her 2025 "Kalinga" initiative and Oplan Birthright, underline her vision of "faith transforming lives." These efforts exemplify how compassion and love can transform communities and bring hope to the marginalized.
