One Heart For Hope went to the far island of Masbate to bring joy and hope to the illegally trafficked, abused (sexually and physically) children of Balay Pasirungan and Balay Pag-asa. Most of them haven't been to Jollibee so they were treated with chickenjoy, spaghetti and ice cream. Hygiene kits and pre-loved clothes from the US were also distributed. This is to let these kids know that somebody from far away cares for them. Nobody would want to hear the painful stories behind those innocent smiles. Their laughter reverberates as the "sound of freedom" from the shackles of abuses and oppression.
March 24, 2023 - Last year One Heart for Hope posted a video of the family of Marlon Tugado whose house was destroyed by Typhoon Odette. It was heartbreaking. Our request for help were met with overwhelming support. . The house was very basic but we made sure the foundation and overall design will keep the family from harsh conditions. Huge thanks to those generous individuals who made this project a reality.

One Heart For Hope, along with Quota Manila's Joana Sy Yang and the Army, went up the mountainous Brgy. Tinuos to bring blessings to the children of T'boli tribe of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. These children are under the care of Mam Anita Castillon who founded the Indigenous Learning Center. To get here, we needed an army truck to be able ro navigate the muddy and winding road. Much appreciation to Maj. Sombrion, 1st Lt. Hobayan and Maj. Krisju Punsalan for the prompt action and assistance and to the brave soldiers. Thank you QI Joana and friends who participated in this great activity. And most importantly, to Kuya William and Ate Mayette Sy who never get tired of being hospitable to us all these years.
February 6, 2023 - Visiting The Dumagats of Sierra Madre Part 1 - Through One Heart For Hope, DJ Jun Alcantara from California made sure his vacation will be complete by visiting the the almost inaccessible location of the Dumagat people of Sierra Madre. It was also his advance birthday celebration and what better way to celebrate it was to share his blessings. Giving back, it's always been the motto of One Heart For Hope. Five kilos of rice, corned beef, sugar, iodized salt (there are iodine deficiencies in most children in far flung localities), cookies, and brand new blankets, were distributed to almost a hundred indigenous families. Most of the Dumagats had to walk thru the mountainous terrain and river just to reach the distribution area of Kiborosa, Infanta, Quezon so a hot meal of arroz caldo with egg were served. Thank you DJ Jun Alcantara, Odette Maniquis, JM Saligan, a OHFH veteran volunteer, Princess and Marvin Astoveza.
