Held at the PBB’s Z Square Office, the siblings welcomed 38 donors during the one-day blood drive event while manning the registration desk.  Asked why they decided to become Youth Volunteer Coordinators for the PH Red Cross, Jacob had this to say: “My sister and I grew up seeing our mom donating blood through the years.  I guess it was only natural for us to finally do our part in supporting her advocacy by organizing this blood drive at her office.  Hopefully we will be able to continue hosting annual blood drives and have more people participate.”

“The darkest nights produce the brightest stars”

I value education so much. I asked myself if I could really go to college since my father (Carlos Lacanlale) is a construction worker and my mother (Dolly Lacanlale) is a housewife only. My dream was made possible because of Alfredo M. Yao (AMY) Foundation partnered with my determination and hard work. The foundation is not just a simple program that helps those students who are willing to study but a sunlight that beams to those flowers (students) who are about to wither (lose hope).

Hard Work Pays Off

“And as a proof of the saying that “hard work pays off” I graduated as a Cum Laude and took an oath as a newly passed Certified Public Accountant. All of this was made possible by this Foundation. Words are never enough to show how thankful I am, so instead, I promised to pay the blessing I received forward, to help another youth who is a victim of unpleasant circumstances to achieve his dreams through studying.”
