A Joyful Christmas Celebration for our Scholars
December 7,2025 at ERIS Gymansium, Mandaluyong City
Over 1000 children from different parishes and schools across Metro Manila arrived early and excited at the venue for the PIA-PAAFI annual Christmas Party. Their smiles and energy filled the venue long before the program officially began.
While waiting, our long-time volunteer host Mr. Wilson Ramos, who has faithfully served as our host for more than a decade, kept the early birds entertained with light games, fun banter, and interactive conversations.
The program started exactly at 9:00 am. The Catholic Ministry for Deaf People (CMDP) group, our deaf children, led the opening prayer, followed by the National Anthem. The stage came alive with presentations, lively games, and performances. In between these, raffle draws added to the excitement as children waited eagerly to hear their names called.

A special highlight was the inspirational message from Atty. Amie Amado, Phil-Asia Assistance Foundation, Inc. (PAAFI) President, who encouraged the children to strive to do what is right everyday and reminded them of the true essence of Christmas.
At 10:30 a.m. the children enjoyed their favorite Jollibee meals. While some settled into their seats to eat, others continued to sing and perform on stage - creating an atmosphere of togetherness and celebration.
After the performances, winners were announced and recognized. The gift-giving portion began soon after, with each child receiving a Christmas gift bag- bringing joy, excitement and gratitude all around.
The program concluded at 12:30 pm closing another year of heart warming celebration dedicated to our scholars.
Thank you to all our donors who continue supporting these children to their studies. Thank you Philippine International Aid, LBC and Phil-Asia Assistance Foundation, Inc.,your continued support allows us to create joyful and memorable experiences for the children. Because of you, they are reminded that they are loved, valued and never forgotten.
