On our 11th Annual ChildHaus Christmas party, everyone was all-smiles, as always. It was an afternoon of fun, laughter and a whole lot of good energy. Every year, our Christmas party never ceases to amaze me. There is still so much love in the world. Thank you to everyone who participated in their own little way through the MyPlegde site! Your contribution made a child’s Christmas wish come true. Here are the photos showing how you made someone’s Christmas extra special!
Didn’t those photos give you giant smiles for days?
Another major highlight of the party was when the kids sang. Last year, I recorded a song I wrote called "Akay" with the ChildHaus kids, and they surprised me when they performed it during the party. I never want them to see me cry but this one was too much and I just let the tears flow.

It was such a special and touching moment for me. I love watching the kids sing because they enjoy performing so much. I'm proud that they have a song they can call their own.
Aside from the generosity of so many of you who have helped the Child Haus kids through MyPledge, so many individuals, groups and companies have helped as well.
Allow me to thank everyone. Much love and gratitude to the following:

Victory Liner: The kids and their families were comfortable in a big bus thanks to Victory Liner. Manila traffic isn’t a problem when there's enough space for fun!
Booky and Booky Founder Ben Wintle had a great idea to take the kids shopping in Fully Booked.
The kids had a budget to buy books but unfortunately they chose toys, bags and accessories instead. This reminds me that they need to have more eduational programs in ChildHaus, as the kids’ schooling is disrupted since they are in Manila for treatment.
The event wouldn't have been a success if it weren't for our enthusiastic and energetic host Migz with a Z Anzures. Thank you for making sure that the party energy level was on high gear from beginning to the end!
Showtime Family’s Mr. Bean (Michael Lasac) from Kalokalike and the Spyros brothers Marc and Marco Betito from PINASikat gave the kids lots of smiles with their funny and breathtaking numbers respectively. Mr. Bean and Spyros always selflessly give their time to make our parties extra special.
Since Facebook and Instagram are all the rave, it seemed timely to take profile pictures with none other than our volunteers Kuya Francis Perez and Kuya Biboy Soriano from @PatDyPhotography Team. Thank you also to blogger Ate @TracyAyson, for teaching the kids how to pose. I’m sure the kids will love their new pics with their poses on fleek!
In the spirit of sharing, Zalora also gave the kids more reasons to smile!
Timezone. Timezone has been the venue of our parties for the past 9 years, two years after we first started the Christmas tradition with Child Haus. Thank you to Sir Raffy, Miss Misty, Miss Nedz, Sir Patrick, and the rest of the awesome timezone team!
The kids love it in Timezone so much that most of them have a hard time sleeping the night before the party. Thank you for always making Christmas more memorable for the kids and the parents and staff too! Play-all-you can is a wonderful treat for anyone at any age!
Chooks to Go. Thank you for the food that the kids and volunteers ate for merienda. It was so good that it was gone in minutes! But we saved some for the ride home.
QBE Foundation. Thanks for the shoeboxes with school supplies for the kids!
Thank you to all my family and friends who played with the kids. Iza Calzado, a long time volunteer of Child Haus dropped by in the middle of a busy day just to play with the kids. Thank you Ate Iza! And thanks as well to Mama Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ate Gaki aka. Gaki Moto, Kuya Quark Henares and Yael Yuzon.
We missed our Ate Divine because of a delayed flight, along with Kuya Lorenz Manalang and Ate Che, but they helped so much in the planning of the event.

Thank you to our new volunteers from MASA, Miss Dinah Cardines, Ninong Koyang and the rest of the team. Thank you for the donation Miss D. Thank you also to my dear friends from Book and Borders Cafe and Blue Water Day Spa Miss Nancy Go and Mrs. Mary Simisim for spending time with the kids.
Thank you to my dear friends Kuya Homer, my dad, my dogs, Kuya Arnel, Garry Lopez, Ninang Rose Martinez, James Martinez and everyone who made the event possible.
