2NE5 and Counting

Kapamilya

-a Filipino term that literally means "member of the family".

This tagline was coined in the year 2003 which has become a staple word in every household. According to Telebisyon.net, the word simply "reaffirms the network's commitment to quality programming that will foster Filipino moral values, which is dominant and characterized in a typical Filipino family."

All throughout the decades, ABS-CBN has been also devoted to the the slogan "In the Service of the Filipino."

Speaking of the word "service", the RNG (Regional Network Groups) has also rendered the equal amount of service shed out by its national counterpart. And one of the oldest and probably one of the largest RNGs is ABS-CBN Davao.

I'm quite a lucky girl for I have been a part of the group's month long celebration of ABS-CBN Davao's 25th year anniversary. Today, as a part of our gratitude to our Kapamilyang Dabawenyos for their unwavering support, we had managed to carry out our biggest activity to date which is the Grand Halad Kapamilya.

With the medical mission and free services such as massage and mani-pedi, of no doubt Almendras Gym was jam-packed with our fellow Kapamilyas. 

And since the news team was assigned as the food committee, our efforts were doubled, tripled, no... more like quadrupled. Just imagine the 23 large cauldrons of "lugaw" or porridge being consumed in six hours. It's a record breaker! Just when we've thought that we'll be having a surplus of porridge... well, we just didn't see things coming. 

I admit, it was exhausting! But seeing the long queue of people, you just can't help but acquire this sense of accomplishment. You just can't help but feel the love from these people for the network.

Before this post ends, I'd just like to recognize our sponsors particularly to the City Mayor's Office, Office of the Vice Mayor and the councilors (you know who you are) for helping the food committee, I just couldn't imagine the upshot of the event without your aide. It's a part of public service after all. 'Til the next "lugaw" service! :)

Kudos to the ABS-CBN Davao team! 'Tis a social responsibility well-defined, well-performed!

Sa 25 ka tuig nga panagdait, Daghang Salamat Kapamilya! 

P.S. Excuse our group vanity!
