To mark the launching of this outreach, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held led by Edynne Baclay-Loquellano, Cebu Inc.. President, Father Kyrian Echekwu from Church of the Ascension, and Juliet Payabyab, Astoria Community Board Member and PACEC President. The event was also attended by special guests Boyet Loverita and Lindy Rosales of GMA7. Some 100 families (450 individuals) received a bag-full of grocery items.

Gasa sa Gugma (Gift of Love) intends to help stop hunger especially in the time of the pandemic.

This montly initiative will help stop hunger to those most in need, specifically those most affected by the current pandemic.
