Dear fellow Gigaquitnons,

The most awaited and festive time of the year is fast approaching. In line with this, we at Gigaquit Civic Club (GCC), are holding our Christmas E-Caroling, a fund raising project in support of our charitable works such as:
*Scholarship program for poor but deserving Gigaquitnons.
*Tree planting projects in Gigaquit in cooperation with Local Gov’t Unit’s (LGU), schools, other organizations and individuals.

Since our organization relies on the generosity of individuals like you, to be able to continue to provide these much-needed programs for the Gigaquitnon community that we serve, we ask you to remember GCC with a charitable gift during this Christmas. Any amount you can share with us to support our efforts will be greatly appreciated.

Please reply to gigaquitonline@gmail.com to confirm your donation or contact Ms. Emma Nasi at +63 948-2286451 if you have any questions/concerns.

Above is our E-Caroling video clip. Please adjust your sound and enjoy watching.

Have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you and your family! Thank you very much for your support.

Sincerely yours,

Emil Canda
GCC President 2013-2014

The eCarolling idea comes from Rey Tupal.

Review as of Nov. 29, 2013 - Greening Gigaquit : Bgy. Poniente Tree Planting

To see previous history of this Bgy. Poniente Tree Planting by the Gigaquit Civic Club, please click here.

One Year old trees along Poniente Highway.  Photos provided by Mr. Dodong Dedumo and Mr. Alan Enano. 

After one year, around 103 Trees survived out of 200 planted.  Many survived the initial planting but many were destroyed during DPWH's clearing activities and some due to people converting several planted areas into vegetable gardens.

From last inspection on May 2013, trees were very slightly down from 130 to 103 trees. Not bad at all.  Please click this to see previous article >> Review as of May 5, 2013 - Greening Gigaquit : Bgy. Poniente Tree Planting

This coming  December 13, 2013, the Gigaquit Civic Club will once again initiate another batch of tree planting on the same site.  Anybody who wants to join is welcome.  If you are interested, please send email to gigaquitonline@gmail.com  or contact us via https://www.facebook.com/gigaquit.civicclub
