Diether, Bugoy, Ate Gay bring early yuletide cheer to OFWs in Taiwan, HK

-

CEBU, Philippines - Diether Ocampo, Bugoy Drilon and comedian Ate Gay brought early Christmas joy to homesick OFWs in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There are an estimated 200,000 Filipinos living and working in Hong Kong and about 96,000 in Taiwan. Many of them have missed spending Christmas with their families in the Philippines in past years.

Diether, who’s invested time and resources to charity work, primarily through the Kabataang Inyong Dapat Suportahan (K.I.D.S.) Foundation and the annual Diether Ocampo Cup golf event, said he was deeply touched by the warmth and excitement shown by OFWs who attended the show. Diether headlined the Kababayan Jam of Globe and Taiwan Mobile held last October 23 near the Won Won Mall in Taiwan’s Chungshan District.

“It was really a simple show and simple party of sorts, but it felt good to have brought a piece of the Philippines to OFWs,” shared Diether.

Meanwhile, Ate Gay hosted games and brought gifts during the Globe-CSL Kababayan Jam at the Caritas Center in Central Hong Kong last October 9. Bugoy Drilon, on the other hand, rocked the house for Pinoys last October 23 at the Mariners Club in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

With its worldwidest coverage, Globe brings OFWs closer to home with the most affordable IDD rates to the Philippines.

Watch out for more Pinoy yuletide cheer as Globe Kababayan Jam runs until December 2011.

The early Christmas salu-salos were presented by Globe Telecom, in partnership with Hong Kong’s CSL and Taiwan Mobile. (FREEMAN)
