HELOSTRUIC: Helping Others Through the Power of Music is a charity concert for the benefit of indigent high school students of our barangay. From j-rock to pinoy rock, genres like those of Eminem's and Nicole Scherzinger, musicians from University of the Philippines and University of Santo Tomas shared music and a golden heart for their little brothers in Caloocan.

We literally started from scratch. Being the first major activity of the SK for this year, preparations went for like more than a month. Everybody was going crazy mastering the skill of multi-tasking. We had so many things to do (school works and personal stuff, i mean.), adding up to the pressure of being branded as "wala naman talagang nagagawa sa komunidad".

HELOSTRUIC aims to raise funds in order to send our indigent children to school. Children who has the brains and the determination but not the money to be able to go to school. We wanted to share our blessings to them in the little way we can.

With this, we would like to thank everybody who made this event a loud and banging SUCCESS.

We would like to thank Simbulo, Historia, Gatecrash with Nadia, Cathexis, As She Killed Joey, Adan, Extra Buff, and all the bands who performed in this charity event. You guys touched other people's lives through your music.

Bring them to the SKy

Bring them to the SKy is a gift giving project spearheaded by the FEU- East Asia College students. With the help of Kuya Ahbram, Kuya Demus, Kuya Kert, Kuya JM, Kuya Mark, and Kuya Yves, students from Cielito Zamora Highschool II were able to recieve grocery items for their families.

The funds raised for this event was accumulated from a production gig with the same title participated by more than 10 bands who shared a golden heart for their little brothers and sisters in Caloocan. The production gig was held in Freedom Bar, Quezon City.

"Hindi namin hiningii 'yung tulong nila, kusang loob nila itong ibinigay sa amin. Nakakatuwa nga kasi sa dami ng pwede nilang bigyan, kami pa 'yung napili nila." said SK Chairperson Tiffany Aguilar.

"Pasensya ka na Tif, yan lang ang nakayanan namin," says our friend Andy.

"Ano ka ba? Walang hindi masarap sa kumakalam na tiyan," she joked.

"But seriously, kahit na anong tulong na mula sa puso at bukal sa kalooban ay buong puso naming tatanggapin, hinid para sa sarili namin kundi para sa mga batang nangangailangan. Salamat mga kaibigan!"

SAGIP KALUSUGAN Feeding Program

October 5, 18 and 19, 2008
Different Areas of Brgy. 177, Caloocan City

OCTOBER 5- Sagrada familia Chapel, Participated by 100 Children
OCTOBER 18- Azalea Basketball Court, participated by 100 Children
OCTOBER 19- Franville IV Open Area, Participated by 100 Children

Naniniwala kami na ang malusog na pangangatawan ay isang importanteng haligi ng malusog na kabuuan. Isang importanteng aspetong madalas ay napapabayaan at naisasantabi. Sa maliit na hakbang na ito ay makapagbabahagi kami ng biyaya at pagmamahal sa mga bata.

Noong ika-5 ng Oktubre ay pormal na sinimulan ang "Sagip Kalusugan", isang malawakang Feeding Program na naglalayong ikampanya ang importansya ng malusog na pangangatawan sa mga musmos nating kabarangay.

Ang unang lugar na pinunthan ng SK ay ang mga lugar ng BECCMANA, St. CAIS, at Kalupawa kung saan isang daang bata ang nabahaginan ng libreng almusal. Ito ay ginanap sa kapilya ng Sagrada Familia, ang sentro ng tatlong lugar.

Sunod namang nabahagian ang lugar ng Azalea, Ilang-Ilang,, Sto. Nino at mga karatig-lugar. Karamihan sa mga batang dumalo ay mababasa limang taon. Nagpapatunay lamang na karamihan sa mga batang may ganitong edad ay hindi natututukan ang nutrisyon at mabuting pangangatawan.

Para sa huling Feeding Program ay dinalaw naman ng konseho ang Franville IV. Subdibisyon na maituturing ngunit hindni rin pala ligtas sa problema ng malnutrisyon.

Ang Feeding Program na ito ay naisakatuparan sa tulong nina Mayor Enrico "Recom" Echiverri, ang aming Punong Lungsod at Senadora Pia Cayetano.

Everybody had so much fun!

Organizing an activity as big as this was not as easy we thought it would be but having the end in mind, we struggled to give the children the best celebration we could possibly give them.

"Mahirap 'yung naging preparations para sa event na 'to pero mas naging light 'yung gawain dahil sa naging pagtugon ng mga youth sa panawagan ng SK," ang sabi ni SK Councilor Myra Rivamont, ang nanguna sa paghahanda sa nasabing aktibidad. Mayroong labing limang aktibong organisasyon ng kabataan ang dumalo sa Culminating Activity ng National Children's Month Celebrationna ginanap noong ika-25 ng Oktubre, 2008 sa HACCCI Covered Court, Norteng bahagi ng Lungsod ng Caloocan. Ang mga bata ay nabahagian ng kaunting gamit pang-eskwela na labis naman nilang ikinatuwa.

"Masarap sa pakiramdam na kahit lunch box lang 'yung nabigay namin, tuwang tuwa na 'yung mga bata." ang pahayag nni SK Councilor Lucille Aserit.

"Natuwa din sila sa party hats at clown na hinanda namin para sa kanila, alam naman natin na sa hirap ng buhay hindi talaga lahat ng bata nakakatikim ng ganon," dagdag pa ni SK Councilor Joan Tunguia.

"Medyo nagkagulo nga lang ng konti dahil hindi namin inaasahan ang pagdalo ng mas marami pang bata," ayon naman kay SK Councilor Goddie Cruz.

"Hindi namin iniisip na dahil sa naging successful 'yung activity, makukuntento na kami dun. Patuloy pa naming pagbubutihan para mapaganda pa namin ng higit pa doon. Alam namin ang importansya ng mga kabataan kaya naman hindi kami nanghihiyang lumapit sa kanila kung kailangan. Awa ng Diyos ay hindi naman sila nagsasawang tumugon sa amin." pagtatapos ni SK Councilor Kaye Sapungen.

Ang ngiti nila ang nagsisilbing motibasyon sa amin. Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit patuloy pa rin naming inaasam ang pagbabago. ϋ
