They came, they fought, and they conquered.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) won big time against Philippine Air Force when they competed on GMA Network’s Family Feud. The Air Force were triumphant in the first round but the Coast Guards took the steal and headed for the win until the last set.

PCG dedicated their game for children and have identified World Vision as their charitable institution to receive a portion of their total winnings. Their pledge will go a long way in helping out the most vulnerable children in the country.

PCG Spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo, who himself was a former World Vision sponsored child, attested, “My World Vision sponsor gave me the opportunity, so now, together with my team, we would like to pay it forward, knowing that many children will be given the opportunity to live their lives at the fullest.” The support from the PCG team will indeed help transform lives.

For more than 65 years, World Vision in the Philippines has been dedicated in giving every child the chance to enjoy life in all its fullness. With just P750/month, life-changing essentials are provided such as education, health and nutrition, livelihood, clean water and proper sanitation.
