Mangyan Project

I have been to Mindoro both Occidentan and Oriental, they have this nice and wonderful Indigenous people called the Mangyans,  they are like the Aborigins of Australia but very nice and some are already educated and adapted to the modern living but still their love for ethnicity and origin  remains. I love this people, very warm and nice. I used to do medical missions and volunteer work way back in post-college days through my friends from both Oriental and occidental.

One of that friend is Mrs. Bhebot Gatdula-Rummel, who was so inspired these days to really help and rebuild the lifes of Mangyan Kababayans in her hometown of Santa Cruz, Or. Mindoro. She talked about the Sapoo, a place where Mangyan leaders meet and convene, it was burned down for reason she won't tell. But her desire now is to rebuild that place by putting a foundation. 

Pictures showed Mrs. Bhebot Rummel with a Nun and Local official who oversee the Mangyans 

Congratulations in advance Bhebot and wishing you the best of luck in building and improving the life of your Kababayan Mangyans and truly preserve their Indigenous traditions and culture. May God be with you in this endevour.

My Inspiration for the Birth of GR Mindoro Youth Circle Foundation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

It has been a long time dream to put up a foundation in the  Philippines.  I am used to be very  active in Southville International School (SIS) Parents Association and Foundation, Phils.   I feel great when I  give help to the people especially the poor ones and this work inspired me deeply to serve and give back to the community and my hometown my gratitude for all the blessings I enjoyed in this lifetime.

These photos that are shown here are just one of our activities in SIS.

The Habitat for Humanity in the Phils. founded by former  US Pres. Jimmy Carter. ( see photos). My family, friends and Doctors’s in the  Phils. are going to join and help me  do this project.

I would like to take this opportunity to launch the GR  (Gatdula- Rummel)  Mindoro Youth Circle  Foundation Phils. 

My goal is to help my hometown ( Santa Cruz) in Mindoro Philippines in whatever way and means I can.

Proposed  Projects for my hometown of Santa Cruz Occ. Mindoro:

• Medical missions every year.
• School supplies and uniform for Kids
• Assistance for the children especially when  the parents cannot pay the school fees.
• Seminar workshops like cooking, cultural show, youth empowerment etc.
• Youth mentoring programs to build their good moral character
• Feeding programs with education on proper nutrition

I welcome any one who would like to visit and join my endevours and  projects in the  Phils. I am so blessed  and that  I would like to share this blessings to others especially  the poor ones.

God bless and stay healthy and share your blessings to others.
