For the third consecutive year, we made sure that our pledge of community service remained untarnished. The free champorado distribution held on December 20, 2025, during the Misa de Gallo is proof of that.

Our priorities may have shifted as we took work into due consideration, but giving back to the community that has shaped who we are is one commitment we will always return to. Though not everyone was present, everyone was still on board to help, and that alone is a sign that UGMA remains bright.

For the third time, UGMA carries on its cherished Christmas tradition of giving back to the community. This year, we’re adding an extra touch of sweetness by serving FREE champorado to the Misa de Gallo attendees at the Balay ni San Jose.

Ka-UGMA, distribution starts after the mass!

We are happy to share, with immense gratitude, that your donations have already been distributed to the victims of the 6.9-magnitude quake in the northern part of Cebu. This is proof that when compassion and collaboration come together, their impact reaches far beyond what we imagine.

This was made possible through the tireless efforts of our partner, The Awakening Breeze of Santa Ana Academy, and its collaborators.

Padayon nato ipalanog sa g(UGMA) alang sa tanan!

We felt your love, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We are overflowing with gratitude to everyone who extended their support, whether in cash or in kind. Your generosity is a ripple of hope that will reach far and wide, especially to those whose lives were shaken by the 6.9 magnitude earthquake in Northern Cebu.

Thanks to your donations, we were able to repack ready-to-eat food, hygiene kits, and clean drinking water to aid hundreds of families in need. These essentials are more than just supplies, they're symbols of compassion and bayanihan.

To ensure fair and organized distribution across affected areas, we entrusted the relief goods to two remarkable local forces for good:
🌬️ The Awakening Breeze of Santa Ana Academy of Barili, Inc. – a vibrant group of young storytellers and torchbearers, and
🌱 The Sangguniang Kabataan Federation of Barili – our passionate youth leaders who never fail to rise to the occasion.
We commend and salute these teams for stepping up in service when it matters most.

For full transparency, here’s what was turned over to our partners for distribution:
💧 500 bottles of water
🍱 164 packs of ready-to-eat goods
🧼 95 hygiene kits

From all of us—DAGHANG SALAMAT once again. In unity, we find strength. In kindness, we find hope.

IPALANOG ANG (G)UGMA PARA SA TANAN!
