2013 :

An extraordinary year of one tragedy

after another, especially for those

who live in the Visayas and Mindanao

Yolanda devastated thousands (Nov)

Zamboanga Conflict displaced thousands (Sept)

Bohol Earthquake rocked thousands (Oct)

These eventshave brought the

FILIPINO to its core:

Relationships that

refuse to leave each other behind.

Walang Iwanan means leave no one behind.

The Filipino people’s

RESILIENCE…

…have inspired other

nations to help.
