Over 1,000 Indigenous Peoples across Luzon Receive Support from CharityPhilippines.Org and TRICAP

CharityPhilippines.Org (CPO), in partnership with the Tribal Communities Association of the Philippines (TRICAP) through Project KAPWA, successfully conducted its Annual Charity Work 2025, reaching more than a thousand Indigenous Peoples (IPs) across five provinces—Camarines Sur, Aurora, Bataan, Tarlac, and Rizal.

Guided by the Filipino value of kapwa, the initiative delivered food packs, school supplies, Christmas gifts, emergency relief, and infrastructure support, bringing dignity and hope to families in geographically isolated and disaster-affected areas.

The outreach was made possible through the collaboration of sponsors and partners, including The Golden Hearts Missionary, SOGO Hotel (SOGO Cares), KIWANIS Hiraya, Philippine Eagles, Anilao Security Agency, JRS Church of Maamot, and Aeta Tribe International Foundation, as well as government agencies and civic partners, Local Government Units, and Indigenous leaders.
