      The GMA7 Network donated Php 50,000 to the Dr. Jovito R. Salonga Center for Law and Development earlier this month in supports of the center’s mission and vision.

      Salonga Law Center Director Mikhail Lee Maxino said that the money will directly go to their advocacy programs, like the recently concluded “Pahinungod—Reaching out to the Barangays.”

      Maxino said GMA7 may have donated as a Yu Tiencos of RCBC,” Maxino said.

      “President [Ben] Malayang took the initiative to personally write these prospects attaching my own letter which was more detailed,” he said. “I am happy that GMA responded first and positively.”

      Maxino also recognized the Salonga volunteers for their passion in working for the Center who, despite the scarcity of financial resourses, still continue to work in upholding the center’s mission and vision.

      “With people like these, we will definitely grow and continue to generate programs for the betterment of the national and local communities,” Maxino said. (by Aiken Emmanuel G. Quipot, the Weekly Sillimanian)
