Sharing the Melodies of Love 2017
When we say "Christmas Season", the first thing
that you'll think about as a child or an adult aside that it is the birthday of
Jesus are gifts, right? It is that time of the year when gifts are the symbol
of people’s love and care to other individuals around them. Here on the
Philippines, it is the norm to see some children and adults doing caroling in
front of different houses with the hope of getting a few gifts from the
homeowners, but at IROG foundation, the group was doing the exact opposite
because they do caroling not to get gifts, but to give gifts to different
families especially for the people in need.
The IROG foundation
along with different volunteers, employees, and other generous and
compassionate individuals and groups have been doing this “Reverse Carolling” for many years now
and each time they do it, it is certain that it will be a very memorable
experience for each person involved. Their dedication can even travel extra
miles just to deliver their gifts to people similar to what happened on
December 19, 2017, but this time, something special happened because one of the
famous news programs of GMA News TV, the “State of the Nation with Jessica Soho”, took interest in
the organization’s compassionate activity and decided to cover their caroling story and
share it to millions of Filipinos watching their newscast.
Even though the group
heard the Christmas songs a lot of times they still decided to practice the
songs to deliver them properly during the morning of December 19, then
afternoon came, and the group was ready to go, carrying their gifts and their
feelings of excitement and joy. They might not be composed of great
singers, but they still sing the Christmas carols from the bottom of their
hearts with full of smiles, and to their delight, the families truly appreciate
them. And as each set of songs were finished, the group was truly excited each
time they’re about to give the gifts to different persons and families at
Tibag, Zambales. This is also the group’s way of telling them that whatever
challenges life may bring, there are still people who are willing to provide a
kind help and support.
This benevolent
tradition started by the organization with the genuine objective of sharing
love and care through gifts to different people and families will surely
continue in the next Christmas seasons.
