Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary IC Calaguas and Chief Political Officer of Pampanga First District Rep. Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. Reina Manuel, will spearhead “Pakyawan Na! 10.10 Live Selling for a Cause” on October 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM via the official Facebook page of Mahal na Reina.
The event, which will feature exclusive deals, special promos, and raffle prizes from Beautéderm, aims to raise funds for six-year-old Abraham Mamangun, a brave child battling a brain tumor.
✨ Highlights of the 10.10 Live Selling for a Cause
- Brand new and pre-loved items, including clothes and shoes from Calaguas and Manuel
- Surprise raffle prizes from Beautéderm
- All proceeds to support Abraham’s medical needs
“This is more than just selling items — every purchase will go a long way for Abraham’s fight for healing,” Manuel said, adding thanks to Beautéderm President Rei Tan for her support.
Calaguas, meanwhile, stressed that public service goes beyond official titles:
“Community service is not bound by positions. What matters is helping where it’s needed most.”
To jumpstart the initiative, Rep. Lazatin, along with Calaguas and Manuel, already extended financial assistance. An anonymous donor also gave ₱20,000 to aid Abraham’s treatment.
This latest effort builds on the duo’s track record of grassroots compassion. They previously organized fundraising events for two infants with hydrocephalus, partnered with the Red Pillars Foundation for social programs, and even used their Beautéderm talent fees to donate 10 computer sets to local schools. Known animal welfare advocates, they also champion the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program and personally care for rescued dogs and cats.
