PUSONG PINOY: The Power of Teamwork

A BITE OF INSPIRATION
Pusong Pinoy is a group of untiring  Heroes and Superheroes who knows no boundaries in keeping the "flame of generosity igniting" by promoting "literacy to eradicate poverty", truly from the HEART.

This is a testimonial to the power of teamwork and an affirmation that the spirit of bayanihan knows no borders. That together, we could truly make a difference.

A RUN for Education

Friends, please help me support my friend Jenny,  she will be having her first marathon, The Bull Runner Dream Marathon on March 18 2012, to raise funds for "Pusong Pinoy's Alay Mula sa Puso project"  to help provide underprivileged students with much needed school supplies for this coming schoolyear 2012-2013.

 

About Pusong Pinoy: A group of family and friends wanting to make a difference, one book at a time. Since its inception in 2009, Pusong Pinoy became a force of over 33,500 HEROES worldwide via Facebook trying to make a difference - one book, one meal, one piece of clothing at a time. Our mission is to provide assistance to organizations in the Philippines that have effective programs designed to help marginalized kids learn and appreciate reading by donating used books to their cause. It is our hope that this site would inspire others to open their hearts and help make a difference in these children's lives. Today, we begin by collecting books and donating food items but perhaps someday we can do more. Let this be our means to pay it forward and give back to our country we love so dearly. "Pagtanaw sa pinanggalingan upang makatulong sa kinabukasan" - yan ang Pusong Pinoy

For those of you who wish to be part of making her first marathon meaningful,  you may signup here and let us know your pledge/s, any amount will do and by spreading this page is very much appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance and God bless your heart!

If There's A Will, There's A Way

For Heroes in Baguio City they have just justified what is the meaning of this line "If There's A Will, There's A Way". No matter how bad the weather is,  if you are willing to do something for the good of the many "yes" you can really do it. Hundreds of heroes made it possible as Pusong Pinoy held their first ever run for a cause called the PUSONG PINOY HEROES' RUN happened last August 28, 2011 at Burnham Park.

Runners from all walks of life shows their support, conquers the typhoon with smiles and pride. The event started at 5:00 am, the coldest morning I've experienced, strong winds, fogs and heavy rain kisses the streets of Baguio pushes the runners and organizers to go away to leave the place, but everyone are all geared up with courage to run for a good cause.

Through the help of so many heroes and superheroes  across the globe, and of course with the full effort and force of  Baguio Benguet Team headed by: Team Leaders Ning Doble, Adi Lappao, Byd Nalibsan Bawayan, Jenny Soriano Oliva, Majoy Toyaoan-Lumiwes and  Joanne Suyam and hundreds of volunteers made it possible for every hero who wants to make a difference. And also through the big help of COOL CITY Baguio. 

City Team Leader, Team Leader and Vice Team Leader  from Hongkong and Manila were present cheering up their support as well.  

After the HEROES' Run,  although some registrants weren't able to claim their breakfast so the PP Superheroes and the Dawn to Dusk HEROES went to the Baguio General Hospital to give them to the sick. Pusong Pinoy were able to feed hundreds of patients in one day.
