Aquino and sisters brighten street kids' Christmas at DB Makati
The President, his sisters Ballsy Cruz, Pinky Abellada, Viel Dee and Kris Aquino and their respective families, joined the children in a Christmas party at the school. We understand that the idea first came from the Presidents' sisters.
A few children expressed their wishes to the President, including for his good health. One also asked that her unemployed father be given a job. “The wishes expressed earlier, I believe, would all be met. We will get a permanent job for the dad who needs a permanent job,” Mr. Aquino said.
The President said the Don Bosco community has always been close to his family, especially during the martial law years. “There are huge problems in dealing with the issues of our country but if there are those who help, such as those who figured in the recent flooding, the task really becomes easier,” he said.
