The 2nd Annual Rockwell Medical Mission took place on December 2 and 9, 2017. The mission was simultaneously run in Makati, San Juan, Quezon City, Mandaluyong, Las Piñas, and Pasig. Rockwell volunteers helped with treatment, free consultations, and the distribution of free medicines. No less than 1,200 beneficiaries gained from the program, with families receiving Christmas grocery bags, school supplies, and toys. The mission was made possible through Rockwell’s partnership with 6 parishes: Sts. Peter & Paul in Makati, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Las Piñas, Holy Family Parish in Pasig, Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Mandaluyong, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cubao and St. John the Baptist Parish in San Juan.

Last November 24, 2017, the orphans at Bahay ni Maria enjoyed a fun day of beautiful stories. They first presented a musical narration of the nativity scene, reliving the story of hope through timeless Christmas carols. This was followed by a movie screening of “Coco,” Disney’s heartwarming blockbuster hit.

Since 2014, Rockwell has been conducting a special outreach activity for the children of Sta. Cruz Church yearly. On November 25, 2017, Rockwell volunteers spent the day with over 100 kids, playing games and engaging in sing-and-dance activities. They were also surprised with a special visit from Jollibee himself! Each child went home with a Christmas gift bag and a wide smile to greet the season.

Rockwell employees, together with volunteer medical professionals, priests, and parishioners have organized a medical mission spanning across cities where Rockwell has developments — San Juan, Makati, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, Pasig, and Mandaluyong. The medical mission helped nearly 1,000 citizens through medical check-ups.

More than 80 of our employees spent an awesome afternoon together with 40 kids from the White Cross Orphanage, San Juan. Magic shows, mascot fun, and engaging games set up in booths have delighted both children and adults. School items and other giveaways were distributed after a whole day of spreading happiness.

Rockwell Land did its share for the rehabilitation of the Pasig River waterways when it participated in the fifth Run for the Pasig River. Employees ran 3k around the Quezon Memorial Circle to show their support.

The world-renowned Loboc Children’s Choir regaled shoppers at the Power Plant Mall with their heavenly voices in a free concert sponsored by Rockwell Land and ABS-CBN. The event raised funds for the restoration of church landmarks destroyed by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the Visayas in October. The audience turnout translated to a total of 593,754 in donations.

The unprecedented devastation brought about by Typhoon Yolanda rallied Rockwell Land to raise donations to help those affected by the calamity. Donations in cash and kind were forwarded to the Lopez Group Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation’s Sagip Kapamilya. Employees also assisted in the packing of relief goods at the Sagip Kapamilya headquarters.
