We Rise Through Social Enterprise
WE RISE THROUGH SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
Ondoy typhoon wreaked havoc on Philippines' capital Manila. People were rescued on roofs as flood submerged villages even of the rich. Millions of properties lost to mud. Hundreds died. But Filipinos rise. Celebrities kayaked to rescue. Corporations donated cases and cases of bottled water. Warm food delivered to evacuation centers by strangers to strangers. Funds poured in from different parts of the world. Indeed, as our modern-day hero Ninoy Aquino said, "The Filipino is worth dying for" and it is this that we are also able to say "The Filipino is worth living for."And we continue to rise. Tonight, multi-awarded social enterprise Rags2riches launches holiday-fall collection through a fashion show in a posh mall. The rich and the poor come together uniting giving hope to each other amidst great trials and tribulations. We rise through social enterprise.
