MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso actors Mikee Quintos and Mikoy Morales surprised children in Tondo by participating in the Weigh-In Party of Project Pearls and GoodZone.
A month before the celebration, the children were re-enacting scenes as Lira and Agnem from “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre.” The GoodZone team captured the moment and shared it with Mikoy, who plays Agnem.
Moved by what he saw, Mikoy personally reached out to Mikee, who plays Lira, to come and personally thank the children for their love and support.
GoodZone hosted its first ever Weigh-In Party at the Project Pearls community center in Helping Land, Tondo, an event that brought together 200 children, their families, the GoodZone team, DigiPlus Foundation, Project PEARLS and its founder.
Mikee and Mikoy were present throughout the entire day joining the feeding, cheering for the children during the Healthy or Not Healthy activity, and personally handing out gifts to every child in the program. Their presence reminded every child in that room that kindness is real and that the world is rooting for them.
The highlight of the day was the Weigh-In Celebration, a graduation-style moment led by licensed nutritionist-dietitian Coach Joanne Cruz-Baill, RND, where each child’s name was called one by one and their weight progress was announced to the entire community. The room erupted in cheers for every single child.
Children who showed the most significant improvements in weight and nutrition over the past four weeks received certificates of recognition, a formal acknowledgment of their growth and resilience. Every child also went home with food packs, school supplies and a brand new pair of slippers.
“Every child in this program has been showing up, eating well, and growing stronger every single week,” said the GoodZone team. “Today was our way of saying — we see you. We are proud of you. And we are not stopping,” GoodZone said.
