Bigay Puso sa Pasko celebrates its 13th year this upcoming Christmas and continues to reach new communities, including the indigenous Aeta tribes in Luzon
Last Christmas, we brought Bigay Puso sa Pasko back to beautiful Mindanao, with nearly 600 kids participating in our communities in Payatas and West Fairfiew in Quezon City, the remote mountain area of Sitio Culasisi in Antipolo, Rizal, and our latest two communities: Barangay Digkilaan in Iligan City and everyone's favorite Metro Manila neighborhood - Poblacion, Makati.
The tradition continues this year, which marks the 13th year of Bigay Puso sa Pasko, our annual Christmas outreach program for children in the Philippines. We are grateful for the opportunity to reach new communities again this Christmas, including the indigenous Aeta tribes in Bataan, Isabela, and Apayao.

Background
Bigay Puso sa Pasko (Give Your Heart on Christmas) is an annual Christmas outreach program for children in underserved communities in the Philippines. The project was founded by teacher Shirley E. Alambra in 2011 at Lupang Pangako Elementary School in Payatas after she saw that her students had no food or gifts at their previous Christmas parties, some eating sardines as their only holiday meal. Built on a former landfill, Payatas is a predominantly urban poor barangay in the northeastern district of Quezon City and remains one of the most impoverished areas in Metro Manila.
With the help of sponsors, she provided 100 students with meals from Jollibee, groceries, and toys at the first Bigay Puso sa Pasko event, complete with a special appearance by Jollibee. The event became an annual tradition and has grown to include over 3,500 participants since it began in 2011.
