CTK LOC Attends National Convention and Donates to Sorsogon Home for the Aged

The Ladies of Charity AIC Philippines held its 28th National Convention in Sorsogon City, Sorsogon, in early May, with the theme ‘LOC and the Youth’. Several CTK chapter members attended the national convention. which included delegates from the LOC CTK Chapter.

The CTK chapter later visited the Home for the Aged in Sorsogon City, Sorsogon last May 6 and donated P200,000 plus earnings from their recent Dance for a Cause towards the repair of the center house. The CTK delegation that visited the home included Auring Santos, Tess Fajardo, Buh Malonzo, Sonia Ongkiko, and Dei Ongkiko. Others in the CTK contingent were Girly Chavez, Udes Santos, Shirley Chua, Beth Monedero, Tonette Arizabal, Menchu Pascual, Myrna Castillo, Baby Bersuela, and Dolor Enriquez.

Our LOC ladies found time to check out the beaches of Sorsogon.

The LOC ladies also visited the Home for the Aged in Naga. Where the Sorsogon home had 29 lolos and lolas, the Naga one had only eleven, because for several months already, one lola was passing away each month.

LOC National President, and CTK LOC member Tessie Fajardo, had this to say, ‘Our visit to Bicol region was so fruitful and fulXilling. We were able to visit the local LOC’s different charity works, like the homes for the aged in Sorsogon and Naga and the weekly medical mission in Legaspi where they give free consultations and medicines, treating some 120 patients each time, mostly children. What’s great is that the local LOCs teach the children catechism before the consultation.’
