HOPE for Marawi
Inspired by the courage, selfless service and valor of soldiers who are fighting the Maute group, members of the Rotary Club of Makati’s JP Rizal chapter have raised funds to produce HOPE shirts for soldiers battling the terrorists in Marawi.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana himself received the initial 1,000 pieces of HOPE shirts with the message, “Katapangan mo para sa Bayan, Pag-asa para sa Kapayapaan” from Caroline Siy, president of the Rotary group.
The shirts were given in a simple ceremony held at the DND Social Hall in Camp Aguinaldo last week where Siy, in a speech, thanked the soldiers who are risking life and limb to neutralize the terrorists in Marawi and at the same time, bringing to safety the civilians who were held hostage for almost four months.
She said they hope to donate more HOPE shirts until all members of the government security forces fighting in Marawi have one.
Receiving the shirts on behalf of the soldiers, Lorenzana, who is also the chairperson of Task Force Bangon Marawi, thanked members of the group for their unique way of showing their appreciation and gratitude to the soldiers.
He said he is elated by the thought that soldiers are held in high esteem and are considered as the people’s “hope” to attain peace
