Philippine Consul General Marciano R. de Borja hosted the members of the Filipino Ladies Association of Guam (FLAG) at the Philippine Consulate General in Tamuning where they held a simple ceremony on September 24 for their donation to cover the cost of construction of a classroom for pre-school children at the Gawad Kalinga village in Victoria, Tarlac. FLAG president Ms. Lynda Tolan has joined by other officers and members of the oldest organization for Filipino women on Guam in the ceremonial hand over of the check donation. The donation was later deposited to the account of Gawad Kalinga.
Also present to witness the donation was Ms. Atilana Rambayon, a long-time resident of Guam who is an active supporter of Gawad Kalinga and has herself donated several hectares of land in Moncada, Tarlac, which has become the Gawad Kalinga McCool Village. FLAG also donated the funds to cover House #33 to complete that village.
Among the other FLAG members present were Chet Neri, Loisa Cabuhat, Annie Gozum Soto, Aida Miranda, Leony Ronquillo and Shirley Trinidad./DFA
