Kind Priest Wins P25k Raffle Prize & Use it to Buy Foods for Poor Patients in PGH
A kind priest has used the P25, 000 cash he won as a raffle prize to buy food for the poor patients at Philippine General Hospital.
Fr. Marlito “Lito” Ocon has shared the photos of the grocery products he bought using the cash prize he won from a raffle promo. The post circulates online and garnered various reactions from social media users.
The priest wrote on his post that he won P25, 000 from a raffle promo in the Marketing Office of Robinsons Mall. He used the money to buy bread and sandwich spreads for daily feeding in Philippine General Hospital.
The foods will be distributed to around 100-150 watchers of poor ER patients. The mall management donated an additional P10, 000 to the priest after learning that the goods will go to the less-fortunate people.
The Good Samaritan expressed his sympathy to the watchers who usually wait three to four days before their patients could enter the emergency room.
Father Marlito has expressed his gratitude to his former high school student Ms. Ethel Sia for forwarding his post to Robinsons Marketing Office. He also thanked Madam Robina for giving him an additional amount.
Here is the full post:
“Salamat sa dagdag na biyaya 10,000.00 GC! Umabot sa Marketing Office ng Robinsons Mall ang post ko sa FB tungkol sa 25,000.00 na pinanalunan ko sa raffle promo nila na binili ko rin ng tinapay at sandwich spread para sa aming daily feeding to around 100-150 watchers of poor ER patients in Philippine General Hospital. At dahil nalaman nilang para sa mga mahihirap na pasyente ito dinagdagan nila ang 25k ko ng 10k more, kaya eto meron na akong palaman ng tinapay good for a month. What a blessing, God is good all the time! Thanks to Ms Ethel Sia (my former HS student) who forwarded my FB post to Robinsons Marketing Office, but most of all many thanks to Madam Robina for giving me additional 10k GC. Pagpalain kayo ng Dios and more blessings to you!”
