THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE LIVES ON ๐๐
This photo is a reminder that Leadership, Friendship, and Service aren't just principles on paper, they are the heart of why we serve.
BISOC Trainee Mary Joy S. Cruz reflects:
"Iโve learned that the call to duty goes far beyond following orders. As we uphold our three cardinal principles, we realize that true leadership is serving with humility, friendship is building connections across differences, and service is giving from the heart without expecting anything in return.
In the Aeta community, survival depends on sharing and cooperation. As a trainee, I wanted to demonstrate the essence of camaraderie and align with the spirit of 'Bayanihan.' In their culture, sharing food is not seen as 'charity' it is a mark of belonging. It shows the children that they are not outsiders they are one of us.
We hope this simple gesture inspires others to help. A small act can brighten someone's day, especially as they face rising oil prices, energy costs, and threats to their livelihood. The Aeta community remains far from the reach of the benefits they deserve and far from the ears of those in power." Do a good turn daily."
