Statement on the 11th Year Celebration of Batang Pinangga
 
11th year
 

Eleven years of commitment, oneness, dedication. Eleven years of making good the promise to work for the abused, neglected and abandoned children.

Recently BP initiated a dialogue with the local officials in the municipality of Consolacion, bringing the issue of the number of street children in this town. They also dreamt like us, that maybe in the near future, there would be zero street children.  It is one big thing to share same big dream. Here in Barangay Triumfo, BP together with the school and the active barangay officials, launched the “Love Triumfo” campaign.  If one community becomes caring-care for its environment, care for its neighbors, share its resources, with reliable governance, a child finds her/his home in it.

BP always banners the slogan “matag bata unta batang pinangga”.  Each year, new initiatives and possibilities are explored.  We are continually hopeful and thankful that there are individuals who shared our vision-to change the face of the community for a child. 
As we look at the BP children today, they bring us one big smile.  No one can match their gift of innocence. 

Ten + one marks the beginning of another decade for BP.  It is a long way, but we dream that you will be with us as we keep adding the years, ten plus 2, … plus five… until we complete one more decade.

Now it is a season to celebrate.
We give thanks.
We celebrate.
Happy 11th Year!
