The Dumaguete City Host Lions Club, MJF continues its mission of service by bringing the gift of clearer vision to young learners.

Last May 13, 2026, eyeglasses were successfully delivered to the students screened from Himamaylan Central School in Himamaylan City, Sum-ag Elementary School, and Handumanan Elementary School, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Through this initiative, we hope to help children improve not only their eyesight, but also their confidence, learning experience, and overall quality of life.

Good vision plays an important role in a child’s education. With clearer sight, students can better participate in class, read comfortably, and pursue their dreams with greater confidence.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported this meaningful outreach project. Together, we continue to make a difference — one child, one smile, and one clearer vision at a time.

“Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion.” 🦁👓💙

On December 13, 2025 at the CSN Center Parañaque, our Club Service and Sight For Kids / Vision Chair, Lion Dr. Rheza Badon Tabasuares, co-organized the Special Olympics Pilipinas Opening Eyes. About 300 registeted athletes' (persons with intellectual disabilities and global developmental delays) eye health and vision were screened and examined thoroughly by our 100 volunteers.

A discipline of Healthy Athletes, the Lions Clubs International Foundation Opening Eyes® program provides non–dilated vision screenings, refractions, and fabrication of prescription eyewear to Special Olympic athletes.

Opening Eyes strives to positively impact the attitudes of the optometrists, ophthalmologist, opticians, eye care professionals, along with optometry students and ophthalmology residents, who volunteer to care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

🎄 December 14, 2025 — All work, no fun makes us Lions a dull roar! 🦁

Today we swapped spreadsheets for sprinkles, meetings for merriment, and emails for eel-ectric excitement (okay, maybe not the eel part, but you get the idea).

Our annual Christmas party was a roar-ing success with:
* Laughter that echoed through the room
* Delicious food that disappeared faster than a volunteer sign-up sheet 🤪
* Pickleball battles that ended in high-fives and questionable referee calls
* A splash of swimming and a splashier of camaraderie
* Brainstorming sessions about future projects, collaborations, and luxurious (and fun) trips

Big shoutout to everyone who brought the energy, the snacks, and the questionable dance moves. Here’s to more fellowship, more fun, and more “team bonding” that doesn’t require a PowerPoint slide.
