- Brand new and pre-loved items, including clothes and shoes from Calaguas and Manuel
- Surprise raffle prizes from Beautรฉderm
- All proceeds to support Abrahamโs medical needs
โThis is more than just selling items โ every purchase will go a long way for Abrahamโs fight for healing,โ Manuel said, adding thanks to Beautรฉderm President Rei Tan for her support.
Calaguas, meanwhile, stressed that public service goes beyond official titles:
โCommunity service is not bound by positions. What matters is helping where itโs needed most.โ
To jumpstart the initiative, Rep. Lazatin, along with Calaguas and Manuel, already extended financial assistance. An anonymous donor also gave โฑ20,000 to aid Abrahamโs treatment.
This latest effort builds on the duoโs 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 Beautรฉderm 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.
