The Celebration of the 111st Phillipine Independence Day in Dubai was successful according to the FilCom officers and Executive community who organized the events.  They said successful because they raise fund for the benefits of our distress OFW here in Dubai.

According to them ” through  sponsors and supporters,  they  manage to  meet the primary objective.  In the day alone, they contributed 11 tickets (Filipina wards)  to POLO/OWWA  and 3 tickets (jailed persons)  to Philippine Consulate.   Upon completion of the accounts, they will still support their  promises such as the help to stranded Pinoys outside UAE,  the sick persons and of course additional tickets to wards and a house to Gawad Kalinga if still manageable.
