We, the Philippines mission centre, began in Manila in 1997 at the invitation of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila. Our goal: enable the light of Christ to shine brightly in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in the heart of Asia. As the majority of the population of the Philippines lives in poverty. Vision: Empowering the poor with God's compassionate love in the heart of Asia.

Milk and Vitamin supplements for the children
Since July this year, our Children’s ministry began to provide milk and vitamins to the children they serve, to support their dietary and health needs. Recognising that most of our children come from families that live below the poverty line and lack nutrition, this initiative aims to provide supplements to those who are undernourished.
"Vitamins are good for my health and keep me healthy. They are also yummy and provide nutrition." --- Mary Clarence, 13 yrs old, High School Level 1.
By God’s gracious providence, we managed to sufficient raise funds for this initiative through different partners. One of our partners for this initiative is a children’s liturgy group from a parish in Singapore. They raised funds for this initiative by selling food in their parish canteen. Php14,000 (around US$310) was raised to provide milk and vitamins for 80 children.
We would like to thank those who had supported this initiative. God bless you all.
