Two-time SEAG gold medalist Nikko Huelgas celebrated his 29th birthday in a special way.
On Saturday, the triathlete, who is the chairman of the Philippine Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission, distributed more than 200 packed Chooks-to-Go meals to the frontliners and needy ones in his hometown of Las Piñas City.
Though he has been doing this for years, Huelgas’ birthday last Saturday was extra special for he was able to bring smile to some financially-troubled families in their area.
“Lahat tayo apektado ngayong pandemya. Kaya ngayong kaarawan ko, naisipan kong mamahagi ng saya at kalusugan kasama ng Chooks-to-Go,” said Huelgas.
Early Saturday morning, Huelgas went around town to personally distribute the packed meals and personally thank each frontliners for their service to the country amid this crisis.
“Araw-araw ko silang nakikita na kahit umulan man o umaraw, hindi sila tumitigil sa pagtulong sa amin dito sa Las Piñas. Maliit lang na tulong ito kumpara sa serbisyo na ginagawa nila para sa bayan,” continued Huelgas.
“Salamat sa Chooks-to-Go at kay Boss Ronald Mascariñas sa suporta na binigay niya in this drive,” added Huelgas.
