The gift giving season came in early for the Indigenous People beneficiaries in the Municipality of Malay, Aklan. Their own Santa Claus was personified through donations from SM Foundation’s “Share A Toy” Program which has been an existing partnership with the Department for two consecutive years now.

“Until the next time, I hope we remember that we do not really need christmas to be giving, nor do we need things as gifts. I hope we never forget to share a part of ourselves through kindness and love to everyone we meet along the way. Merry Christmas everyday from DSWD FO VI to you!,” said Ms. Corina A. Magbanua, Institutional Partnership and Development Officer of DSWD FO VI, who represented the agency during the distribution./dswd6/CorinaMagbanua
