We appreciate that they gave us the priority to start the program by singing Christmas songs. We are happy to be chosen as judges to judge some of the man\u2019amko in their singing contest. We also enjoyed \u201cThat is My Tomboy\u201d contest a lot.<\/p>\n<p>We highly appreciate the Christmas gifts people gave us and the big amount they donated to us. We would like to give special thanks to Bank of Guam for their $1,000 Christmas gift. It\u2019s going to be a significant support for our up coming tour to Guam.<\/p>\n<p>I offer my special thanks to Rep. Ralph Yumul for his contribution to our fundraising efforts. Our gratitude also goes to our Delegate Kilili Sablan for his donation.<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019amko would like to congratulate and salute Docomo Pacific and the president of the United Filipino Organization and all its members for their fundraising of about $11,000 to support the relief efforts for the Yolanda typhoon victims.<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019amko led by our director, Walter Manglona, is proud to add its donations in support of the typhoon victims. Most of the senior citizens brought boxes full of clothes, noodle soup, etc. I was happy to be part of man\u2019amko charity. I hope my three boxes of blankets, food, and clothes did good to some victims.<\/p>\n<p>When the disaster took place, the Philippines got the attention and help of the whole world. The disaster united us. It made us stay strong together. We acknowledge the support of the United Nations and the United States. We are grateful to the U.S. for its urgent and significant support shown to people by offering the housing project designed especially for the Philippines when they needed it most. Thank and thanks to all of you!
