LG Makes its Mark in
Mindanao
LG Electronics, in
keeping with its tradition of giving back to the community, recently paid a
visit to The House of Hope in Davao.
The House of Hope
Foundation, located inside the Southern Philippines Medical Center compound
(SPMC), is a charitable group that provides temporary shelter to children with
cancer. SPMC is the only hospital in the whole of Mindanao that offers free
cancer treatment to children. Since a large majority of its patients are
indigent families with no place to stay while they are undergoing treatment,
the House of Hope provides a sanctuary for them.
On March 28, 2019, LG
Philippines visited the brave families of the House of Hope. LG brought with
them donations in-kind to improve the quality of life of the House of Hope’s
residents. This includes over 27,000 various personal care products such as
body wash, soap and toothpaste items, 5 43” Full HD TVs, 28 Dual Inverter
Airconditioning units, 2 Top Load Washing Machines, and 2 Side by Side
Refrigerators. The donations hope to help in making the environment conducive
to the children’s recovery. LG Electronics Philippines Managing Director Inkwun
Heo led the team that visited the children in Davao. “LG remains committed in
creating social impact and being agents for change. These brave children serve
as our inspiration. We hope that through our small gesture, we are able to
enhance their quality of life”.
Giving back to the
community has always been the heart of LG’s core values. Earlier this month, LG
also partnered up with Emcor to conduct a small series of medical missions in
Mindanao. Dubbed as #LGFamilyFunDay, these pocket events held in Koronadal in
South Cotabato, Digos in Davao, and San Francisco in Butuan, gave out free full
physical and optical check-ups to the members of the community during the
morning. In the afternoon, special activities were held for children, such as
coloring sessions, an LG inflatable castle, and even a dedicated Netflix
viewing area, making it a fun-filled family affair that’s not to be
missed.
