Project 5 "Carolling"
December 2003
In cooperation with Buhatan Barangay’s Captain Balana, we organized a “caroling cum interpretative dancing” for their community. Our carolers were young volunteers dressed in a Santa outfits. They all enjoyed belting out Christmas songs while performing dances at various household doorsteps on a cold December when many are gathered at home.
Aside from the hymn, lyrics; entertainment that inevitably soothe and uplift one's spirits, we also gave the poorest household gifts and food for their children. Around 100 household were visited during this activity.
Two of the most important Filipino Christmas traditions are the parol (Christmas lantern usually shaped as a star) and carolling.

Project 4 "Clean Election Campaign"
2001
We still believed in the decades-old fight against the infamous trio of "gold, guns and goons," Our goal was to work valiantly to promote clean and honest election.
In this project, We have enganged individuals to share thier talents, creativity and ideas in educating the people about the upcoming election. The volunteers made various flyier and poster for distribution during the rallies and our house to house campaigns.
Voting in the election is our voice in government and we must choose a candidate that has credibility and capable of delivering results to the people. We have the ability to send out a message that unscrupulous and tainted character has no place in public service.

Project 2 "Catechism, Healthy Habits Campaign and Family Fun Games"
October 2000
The concept of catechism is virtually unknown in today’s new generation. We believe it is of great value to the spiritual welfare of youth growing up in the church and for the continued strength of the church as a whole
Manay Kikay of San Roque, Sto. Domingo Albay and our countless volunteers helped to foster the great truths of God's Word among the young adults and children. This was a very uplifting experience for all of us since we were able to touch and enrich the hearts and minds of the future generation.
Fun and games for the children, parents and family followed shortly after the spiritual/educational activity. In this event, everyone had their own share of laughter, surprises, ideas, teamwork and prices.

Project 1 "Mount Mayon Relief Program"
March 2000
In 1999, Mt. Mayon showed signs of activity and continued to threaten neighboring towns with its minor earthquake and lava flows. After its major eruption in February 1999, thousands of people were displaced from their homes. People took refuge in nearby evacuation centers which still lacked for food and water
Our goal for this project was to generate funds for the purchase of goods such as milk,sugar, water, rice, noodles, etc, which were then packed and distributed to a number of families. Wilfred Abrigo initiated a Charity Drive in Singapore and organized the distribution of goods last 20 March 2000. Acknowledgements are given to generous friends and Apex Systems Private Limited Singapore.
