The Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) conducted an outreach program last Friday, July 7, in Bulacan, coinciding with its 8th year anniversary celebration.
SPEEd, led by its president Eugene Asis (People’s Journal), along with other officials and members, visited two charitable institutions in Bulacan: The Bethany House Sto. Niño Orphanage in Guiguinto, which takes care of and provides protection to children who have no family or relatives; and the Emmaus House of Apostolate located in Malolos, Bulacan, where 60 abandoned men and women reside.
Bethany House Sto. Niño Orphanage has 30 children under its care. Bethany’s directress Sr. Emelita Cruz OP is assisted by Sr. Emerlita Luna OP and their fellow Dominican sisters of Saint Joseph.
In addition to financial assistance, the group provided food and medical supplies, cleaning materials, vitamins, adult diapers, and other items that can be used for daily needs.
Partnering with SPEEd relating the effort are Rei Anicoche-Tan of Beautederm and BlancPro, Cris Roque of Kamiseta, Unilab Corporation, and Pascual Laboratories.
The group also extends its gratitude to veteran showbiz scribe Manay Lolis Solis, Bulacan Gov. Daniel Fernando, San Miguel Corporation, Jollibee, Universal Robina Corporation, Mark Parlade and Rosbel Buñag of Stratworks, Dee Chanco of Maris Pure Water, actress Lotlot de Leon, Susan Joven, Wilson Flores of Kamuning Bakery, and Colorete Clothing.
SPEEd is composed of current and former entertainment editors from leading newspapers and online sites in the Philippines.
