Last week, the candidates were able to give back to the community the blessings that they have received through the community and ecological immersion activities. They gave hopes and joys to the little angels of the Children’s Joy Foundation in Nasipit, Talamban, Cebu City and did good for Mother Earth when they had their coastal cleanup at the Suba Pasil Fishport. Apart from these, the candidates also visited and made courtesy calls to their sponsors.
