Davao Light keeps the Bayanihan spirit alive in Bayani Build at Gawad Kalinga Village in Los Amigos, Tugbok

Alone we can do little, together we can do so much.” This is what volunteer-employees of Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. showed during the Araw ng Davao Bayani Build last March 11, 2017 at the Gawad Kalinga Village Relocation Site in Los Amigos, Tugbok District, Davao City.

Araw ng Davao Bayani Build is a project of the City Government of Davao in partnership with Gawad Kalinga (GK).

 

Around 120 volunteers coming from Davao Light, other private companies and GK partners put in their sweat to help build 50 house units or 25 duplexes. Despite the very hot weather, the volunteers formed human chains as they helped pile up hollow blocks and carried out other tasks. The spirit of camaraderie and the value of cooperation were truly felt that day.

 

No amount of money or material things can ever replace the smiles and gratitude of the families now that they have the home they've always dreamed of. Witnessing that is already more than enough for us, volunteers.” said Rodger Velasco, Davao Light's EVP and COO.

It's the 5th time that Davao Light joined in the Bayani Build. Davao Light will continue to help build a brighter and better future that will not just last for a few years but for a lifetime.
