The ONE PS-DBM Fun Run is aimed at engaging both its internal and external stakeholders; for employees to foster camaraderie through a sporting event, and for other government agencies, partner merchants, as well as the general public, to know more about PS-DBM and its mandate. But more than these objectives is another aspiration that goes beyond working relationships.
The ONE PS-DBM Fun Run is not merely a run for fun, as it also is—more importantly—a run for a cause.
As we lace up for the ONE PS-DBM Fun Run 2024 on October 6 at the Academic Oval of the University of the Philippines - Diliman in Quezon City, let’s look back on the previous year’s social responsibility program enabled by the success of the same event.
PS: Puso sa Serbisyo
Following the successful run of PS-DBM’s first ever fun run in October 2023 as part of the agency’s 45th milestone anniversary, PS-DBM donated a portion of the event’s proceeds to its chosen beneficiary, the Laura Vicuña Foundation, Inc. (LVFI)—an organization accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Technical Education and Skills Development Administration, and the Philippine Council for NGO Certification.
The LVFI is home to children in need of special protection, building their capacities through numerous programs focused on integral education and development.
On December 20, 2023, PS-DBM invited LVFI for the ceremonial turnover of the donation, forming part of its Family Day celebration. Filled with song and dance performances, fun activities, and special giveaways anchored on a Christmas-themed party, attended by PS-DBM officials, the activity did not seem like a visit; they were home.
In her message to the young talented girls, then Procurement Group Director and now Acting Executive Director, Genmaries “Gen” S. Entredicho - Caong, expressed her appreciation and gratitude, with a gentle reminder to be steadfast in reaching their dreams, no matter the circumstances.
“We are happy that such an organization is formed for these children, for these youth.. ‘Wag kayong mawawalan ng pag-asa... Hindi mahirap marating ‘yung pangarap ninyo basta pagsusumikapan ninyo. Gusto naming iparamdam sa inyo… [na] mayroon pong gusto makibahagi sa pag-aaruga para mapunta kayo sa mabuting landas," ED Gen remarked.
We are less than two weeks away from running again as one, in procurement and service. Join us in empowering communities by taking part in this event, for fun and for a cause. See you at the finish line! | September 24, 2024/PM
