December is known as the season for giving. This is also known as the time of the year where everyone settles loose ends with a smile and deepens their connection with each other through love, joy, happiness and harmony.

As the season of giving continues, the Kasapi Regional Head Office Kamuning conducted its own version of gift giving through Kasapi Himig sa Pasko in the community of Aetas in Sitio Babo, Angeles City, Pampanga. An event where we relive the spirit of Christmas through giving gifts, smiles, hopes and cares to our less fortunate countrymen.

The program started with a prayer of thanks headed by the Purok Leader Tatay Rabi. He incited their gratitude to the Lord and to their benefactor and prays for their good health and wellbeing. After the prayer, a brief introduction about the event was made by the program head Mr. Joshua Guiller Reinofranco A. Macaraig followed by performances of the community. 

During the gift giving activity, the recipients of the gifts shows an ear to ear smile that will last. Giving really makes you feel the magic and love in the air. It relives the compassion and kindheartedness to everyone. It gives you warmth and brightens the atmosphere. Though life is full of struggles and challenges through simple acts of kindness like this we can always hope and look forward for the bright tomorrow.
