Our heartfelt gratitude to Atty. Neil Jerome Rapatan and Atty. Nelson Manalili of IBP Manila IV, and to the Knights of Columbus! ✨

Thank you for inviting the Manila City Jail Male Dormitory to showcase the meaningful creations of our PDL Livelihood Program during the Pista ng Karapatang Pantao. Your invitation gave our PDL-artisans a rare and powerful opportunity to let their stories, talents, and hopes for a better future speak through every product they crafted — and we are grateful to have sold paintings, tote bags, and candles during the exhibit, further affirming the value of their hard work.

We are also deeply grateful for your order of 60 customized tote bags as giveaways for the event’s participants. Each tote bag was handmade with dedication, carrying not just a design, but a message of second chances, dignity, and transformation.

Through partnerships like this, we are reminded that rehabilitation becomes real when communities choose to believe, support, and walk with our PDLs on their journey of change. 🙏💙

Two years ago, Mr. Loty Nayo brought home six beautifully handcrafted parols made by our PDL at Manila City Jail. Today those same pieces—now carefully repaired and restored through our livelihood program—shine once more in their barangay’s Christmas display. 🌟

Thank you, Mr. Nayo, for believing in the artistry and dedication of our Persons Deprived of Liberty. Your continued trust reminds them that the light they create can brighten communities outside, even from within our walls. 🎄✨

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Loraine Saimato for choosing and ordering our personalized totebags—crafted with care and dedication by our Persons Deprived of Liberty.

During their visit to Manila City Jail, where they conducted a meaningful mission of providing National ID registration to our PDLs, Ms. Loraine and her team took the time to tour our Livelihood Area. What started as a simple visit turned into a beautiful moment of support when she decided to order totebags featuring their own personalized design.

Small acts like this create big waves of hope inside the facility. Every purchase becomes more than just a product—it becomes a reminder to our PDLs that their skills, hard work, and dreams still matter.

To Ms. Loraine Saimato, thank you for seeing the value in their craft. Your kindness fuels our commitment to rehabilitation, creativity, and second chances. 💙
