A different kind of celebration was tossed by Mrs. Fe Tupal – Madamba on her birthday last December 9, 2007. Her birthday was on December 13 but she opted to celebrate it on an earlier date with the kids.
Instead of a typical food-eating and party drinking, the celebrator threw a big party to the kids of Poniente, Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte. The celebration was full of fun and merriment; not even the rain could stop the kids to flock in front of Tupal’s residence in sitio Tuya-Tuya, and all the kids around received toys and special gifts from Mrs. Fe Madamba. Before the gift giving, parlor games were played by the kids (and adults alike) and prices were given to the individual and group winners. Not just the young ones were able to enjoy this moment but all adults too. Nobody went home without anything.
Ate Fe conveyed that it was self fulfilling to see everybody especially the kids wore a big smile after receiving a gift. This was her first time to do this and she hoped to do it again next year. She also expressed special thanks to Mr. Vic and Mrs. Nene Villaverde (Lucban, Quezon), Mr. Yoyoy Tan (Davao), Mr. Boy Misolis (Davao), Ms. Nelly Niu Benemerito (Naga, Cebu), Mrs. Lorna Enano Rosa (Davao) who incidentally paid us a visit and consequently helped us during the gift giving. Special thanks also to Sarah Tupal and her company who untiringly made efforts to register out all the kids, to Cacan Gesta – Peligrino, Mano Boy Gesta and family who helped us facilitate the party to run it smoothly and to all who in one way or another made this noble act came to reality.
