Over 200 professionals composed of legal luminaries, medical and dental practitioners, academicians, corporate executives & personnel and business owners celebrated Club Marinduqueno, Inc.’s (CMI) silver anniversary and Christmas fellowship at Club Filipino, Greenhills, San Juan City last December 10, 2016.

The celebration highlighted the 25 years of caring and sharing with fellow Marinduquenos. The night had the induction of new sets of CMI Board of Trustees and Officers who were inducted by Gen. Alexander Aguirre and Capt. Emmanuel Regio for 2017-2018 term, appreciation of the pioneering efforts of members and turn-over of command from immediate past president, Engr. Ronald Tanco to newly elected president, Dr. Roberto Montellano. Marinduquenos, benefactors and friends were delighted by the rendition of Philippine Baritone Joseleo Logdat, presence of Judge Ofelia Calo and Quezon City Rotary Club members, among the many. Raffle bonanza, photo opportunities, singing, and dancing were unlimited.

Newly sworn-in CMI president Dr. Montellano quipped, “I’m very glad seeing our beautiful, handsome and successful kababayan in this momentous occasion of Club Marinduqueno, Inc. Together with the new officers and leadership, Team Bayanihan will be working to reach and serve the poorest community in our dear Province of Marinduque.”

Club Marinduqueno, Inc., a socio-civic, non-profit and well-knit organization was the brainchild of Judge Manuel Villamayor (with roots from Santa Cruz). When Judge Villamayor met Atty. Aurelio Pamfilo, Jr. (son of late Torrijos Mayor Aurelio Pamfilo, Sr.) after a court hearing in San Juan City, the former asked the latter if he is willing to form a group that will unite Marinduquenos from all the six town of the province. When answer was in the affirmative, founder and co-founder started the ball rolling. Recruitment of quality members, endless conferences and coming up with a vision as an organization soon followed. Thus, the birth of Club Marinduqueno, Inc. was on December 6, 1991. First celebration was held at Quezon City Sports Club, Quezon City.

Conducting medical-dental missions, providing academic scholarship programs, enabling the disabled and installing deep well pumps are enough reasons to continue planning and implementing programs that will help improve quality of Marinduquenos life.

Accenture hosts thanksgiving dinner for its Corporate Citizenship volunteers

The Corporate Citizenship Philippines Team held an appreciation dinner last August 23 for all our kind-hearted Corporate Citizenship volunteers and project partners at the CVC Manila in Cybergate 1.

Corporate Citizenship Philippines Lead Nescel Asuncion and Country Geographic Services Lead Joan Liston led an intimate ceremony where active employee volunteers and project teams were recognized for their hard work, dedication, and passion for helping the less privileged. It was also an opportunity to honor and celebrate the achievements of Corporate Citizenship for FY16 and a chance to discuss their plans for FY17.

Transforming lives and uplifting the Filipino spirit, Corporate Citizenship’s accomplishments for FY16 include multiple scholarship grants, eco-engagement activities, disaster reliefs and Skills to Succeed initiatives.

Creating an impact by lending a hand

Accenture Enterprise Enablement’s Romeo “Myong” Mataac, Jr., shared that he loves participating in Accenture’s Skills to Succeed programs because he is “able to inspire children to aspire and act on their dreams, and become productive citizens”.

Romeo Mataac, Jr.

“I usually volunteer for initiatives related to youth empowerment. I’ve facilitated multiple workshops for Customer Service Essentials, Work Life Skills, Resume Writing and Job Interview for out of school youths,” he said.

Meanwhile, for Angelica “Ge” Espaldon of Manila-Legal Global Service Center, volunteering “has been an eye-opening experience” for her.

As one of the POCs for the Legal Corporate Citizenship Committee (LCCC) under the Legal Global Service Center, she mostly conducts trainings for our Corporate Citizenship beneficiaries and partners such as Leonard Cheshire Disability Philippines Foundation Inc. and Philippine Business for Social Progress.

“I like seeing the fire and enthusiasm in the eyes of the children when we teach them. I am sure that if given the opportunity and resources, these kids can go a long way. I wish some of our colleagues would see that too. We at LCCC hope to reach out to more volunteers, so they can also get to see and feel what we experience,” she said.

Myong shares a similar sentiment: “There is still an overwhelming number of youth who are unable to finish their studies. But if each one of us does our part, we can make a positive impact. We can make a difference.”

Accenture Manila Billing Center gives love to the Little Angels Home

April 23, 2016 was a different and important day for the members of Manila Billing Center (MBC). They were not required to make invoices nor any finance-related transactions that day. Instead, they went to Mendez, Cavite, for a mission - to share and give back to the Little Angels Home, Inc.

Little Angels Home, Inc. (LAHI) is a child care institution providing 24-hour resident group care service for the physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being of mentally gifted, dependent, abandoned, neglected, handicapped and disturbed children, including those abused and exploited. LAHI currently cares for and shelters more than 30 children from 1 to 15 years old, who have various needs and stories. Most of them were abandoned by their parents because of poverty.

The Manila Billing Center prepared an outreach team building program for the children of LAHI. The MBC folks acted as big brothers and sisters to the kids during game time. They also gave clothes and small gifts such as chocolate and candies. They made sure that every child enjoyed and was satisfied with the food they served.

Sister Monica Suliva, LAHI administrator-in-charge, said “Sa ngalan po ng Little Angels Home, Inc. at ng aming congregation, Handmaids of the Risen Christ, ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa mga empleyado ng Accenture, sa pagbibigay ninyo ng inyong panahon at blessings upang mapasaya ninyo ngayon ang mga batang naririto sa aming tahanan. Sana po ay napasaya din namin kayo at nawa ay nabigyan ng mga lessons, na kahit man lamang sa pakikipagkwentuhan at pakikipaglaro sa mga bata ay naipadama po natin na mayroong nagmamahal sa kanila, na hindi sila kaawa-awa. Maraming salamat po at pagpalain kayong lahat ng Panginoon”.

Manila Billing Center manager Lilibeth Dela Concepcion shared “I considered this as one of the most significant happenings in my entire life. I am so proud that I have the Manila Billing Center support around this high-spirited endeavor. I fervently pray that our benevolent God may continue to lead us in bringing upright moral values, positive ideas, warm affection and lofty goals to our less fortunate people. I am thanking each and every team member as we journey together outside the workplace being One Team, One Spirit!”
