Popolo Music Group Conducts Thanksgiving Relief Outreach for Typhoon-Affected Families in Dumaguete

As part of its Thanksgiving celebration, Popolo Music Group (PMG) carried out a humanitarian outreach activity in Dumaguete, providing food assistance to a barangay of 60 families affected by the recent typhoon. The initiative reflected PMG’s commitment to compassion-led action and community support during times of crisis.

The outreach was led by Mary Ann Bartoces, who represented Popolo Music Group on the ground and headed a dedicated team of volunteers that traveled to the typhoon-ravaged area. Working closely with local community leaders, the team ensured that food packs containing essential staples were distributed efficiently and respectfully to families who had experienced food shortages and livelihood disruption as a result of the storm.

Throughout the activity, PMG volunteers engaged directly with residents, offering encouragement and solidarity while listening to the challenges faced by families still recovering from the typhoon’s impact. The Thanksgiving-themed outreach emphasized not only the delivery of aid, but also the importance of presence, empathy, and shared resilience during difficult times.

During the visit, PMG also pledged additional long-term assistance totaling PHP 1,000,000 for Negros Oriental. This commitment will support school renovation projects and future outreach initiatives, reinforcing PMG’s belief that disaster response should extend beyond immediate relief and contribute to lasting recovery and community rebuilding.

The Dumaguete outreach forms part of PMG’s broader philanthropic efforts across the Philippines, where the company consistently integrates humanitarian service into its organizational culture. By combining immediate aid with long-term support, PMG seeks to create sustainable impact for communities facing hardship.
