CEBU, Philippines - In a profound act of generosity, Telecommunications Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative (TELEMCO) has cooperated with ALA Promotions to help reach the selfless goals of the #Bangon Sugbohol movement, a collective effort of concerned individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations to help the victims of the Bohol earthquake on Tuesday of last week.
TELEMCO, established in October of 1959, is a credit union considered to be one of the biggest cooperatives in province of Cebu. Among its goals of providing continuing education to its members, enhancing programs and services, and being a world-class CO-OP, TELEMCO is also fervently dedicated to social responsibility.
As such, the cooperative embarks on community development programs like tree planting, feeding under nourished children, and assistance to typhoon victims among others. To promote good health, it also provides sponsorship to members in the different fun runs initiated by different organization. And in the current state of affairs, TELEMCO is now offering support to the victims of the intense earthquake in Bohol.
Channeling the potential outreach of ALA Promotion's highly-anticipated boxing event Pinoy Pride XXII: “The Revenge,†TELEMCO has agreed to purchase tickets in bulk and, in turn, will sell them to members at only 50% of the original cost. The company will then donate 15% of all ticket sales directly to the #Bangon Sugbohol movement.
The support for #Bangon Sugbohol is supplemented by the Filipino boxers themselves, including current champs Genesis Servania and Arthur Villanueva. All of the participating boxers have each dedicated their individual challenges as a fight not for themselves but for the helpless victims in Bohol.
With all the participation in honor of the quake victims, this “Sports†event has effectively been transformed into a “Supports†event. (PR)(FREEMAN)
