GMA Kapuso Foundation launches Davao chapter

MANILA, Philippines - GMA Kapuso Foundation Inc. (GMAKF) strengthened its regional public service efforts with the recent launch of its Davao chapter at the El Gato Restaurant, Rancho Palos Verdes Sports and Country Club, Davao City.

According to GMAKF EVP and COO Mel Tiangco, the foundation’s Davao chapter would facilitate and hasten the delivery of service to the Davaoeños.

“We want to go to the grassroots as we mount and deliver our public service efforts. We also want to involve more people in the cause of alleviating poverty levels and extending assistance in several areas across the country,” she said.

Tiangco added, “Our end-goal is to make the Davao chapter self-supporting, in that it should be able to mount its own medical missions, relief operations, etc. through local support... We will be working hand in hand with them as we strive to better serve the residents of Davao.”

Tiangco led the ceremonial toast together with GMAKF executive director Jeffery Balde, Mariles Puentevella, GMA TV 5 Davao station manager, Oliver Amoroso, AVP for GMA Regional TV, Cel Amores, AVP for regional news and public affairs, and Gigi Lolarga, operations manager for GMA Regional TV.
