640 Meralco Celebrates with Kuya Center

Written by U! Happy Events Staff, Ate Glyza Loleng
While almost everyone was on their family or barkada get-a-way for a long holidays due to APEC Summit, a group of Kuya’s and Ate’s of Meralco gathered to celebrate this day with the boys of Kuya Center. There were 20 jolly and active boys who participated and excited to play around. The Kuya Center is a shelter for those children who wandered aimlessly along the streets of Manila who has been given a chance to live like a normal kids.
When we arrived at the venue, children ran towards us with excitement on their face, greeted us with their smiles and held our hands to “mano” (a traditional way to give respect to elders). We started gathering the names of Kuya’s and Ate’s with the numbers corresponds to the number of children. Paired, grouped and became a partner throughout the event. Kuya Harvard was our host and started the game with a beat of music. The first game was Hula Together wherein Kuya and Ate together with the boys, they will run all over the cones in zigzag motion and will do the hula hoops altogether at the end. It was a calorie- burner they said with a big laugh. The second choice of game was In or Out Hula Hoops wherein they were divided into four groups.The mechanics of the game, Kuya Harvard will say a word specifically according to what he saw with the kids and decide whether if they will go inside the hoops or not. It’s been a fun game as they were confident to tell to everyone that “Hey! I’m pretty! I’m handsome and I’m cute”. Lastly, full effort from the group and loads of creativity was needed in order to win. It’s a Dance Group Showdown! In this game, a leader will be selected and create his own, unique moves and the members will follow. In this game, we’re going to gauge them according to creativity, teamwork and their talents of course. In every game, there’s a winner and got their stamps on their hands and will receive their gifts on the later part.
After a calorie-burning games, here comes the food that was prepared by the team and to mentioned the barbecue that brought by one of the Ate was lush! All Tummies were full and returned back to the last part of the event – the Gift Giving Part! The Kuya’s and Ate’s of Meralco were ready to give those gifts to the boys. It was a “Yay!” moment for the kids upon receiving it. And in returned, they made us a handmade paper flower.
Before calling it a day, we strike a pose including the wacky ones just to add in our memories that once in our life, we manage to give smiles to those who needed the most. It was fulfilling day!
