On November 22, 2018 from 5:30PM to
9PM, The Madrigal Foundation headed by Ms. Patricia Madrigal with its partners
will launch “Para Kay Manong Toda,” an advocacy campaign to marginalize
tricycle drivers and help them alleviate their lives by being heard through
forums, seminars and press conferences by inviting government officials and
private sectors as panelist’s and speakers. That way, the Foundation is hoping
that at least some of their needs will be heard by means of these awareness
programs.
A Forum & Press Conference is set with
panelist that includes;
1. Shariff Ibrahim
2. Manny Lopez
3. Bert Hashimoto
4. Migui Moreno
5. Mario Batuigas
6. Arnel Catimbuhan (Vice Mayor
Imus, Cavite for LGU)
7. Bong Quirog (Business Chamber
President for Business)
8. Rey Castro (Barangay Captain at
Santa Maria, Bulacan, TODA)
9. Usec Rose Bistoyong (Climate
Change Council)
10. Eva Lisa Adoremos (Manong Toda)
11. Ms. Therese Madrigal (Madrigal
Foundation)
The event will be moderated by PTV
Anchor Emelie Katigbak and Manila Times Business Writer Engr. Grace Bondad
Nicolas.
The “Para Kay Manong Toda” aids the
well-being of the marginalized tricycle drivers. Most of the tricycle drivers
are head of the family and works 7 days a week to support their loved ones,
without health insurance and most doesn’t receive benefits from the government.
These modern-day heroes are exposed to pollution and environmental hazards
daily.
One of the programs under this
project is to seek help to focus on their working and medical conditions. In
this way, these heroes can continue helping their families and the society as
well giving good and safe transportation to those in need. The foundation
believes that information dissemination is one way to be heard.
