LG Philippines proudly announces the
triumphant realization of its LG Ambassador Challenge projects, which have made
significant positive impacts on local communities in the Philippines. The LG
Ambassador Challenge, a testament to LG's commitment to sustainable development
in the nation, partnered with Korea Friends of Hope International (KFHI) to
bring about meaningful change. After the initial announcement of the winners,
we are excited to provide updates on the progress and accomplishments of these
inspiring initiatives.
The LG Ambassador Challenge, now in its second
year, received numerous project proposals from across the Philippines. The
winning projects—‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light,’ ‘Flowing Water for
Growing Future,’ and ‘Paliparan Community Livelihood’—have demonstrated the
profound impact that community-driven initiatives can have in fostering
positive change.
'Life
is Good, When Life Has Light' - Bringing Light to Darkness
The first winning project, 'Life is Good, When
Life Has Light,' is a program initiated by the Our Daily Bread Community-Dayap
Church. This community, situated in Calauan, Laguna, has struggled with a lack
of street lighting, leading to safety concerns for residents and commuters. To
address this issue, solar-powered street lights were installed throughout the
relocation area, providing a safer environment during nighttime. A total of 35
solar street lights now illuminate the community, enhancing safety, reducing
crime, conserving energy, and facilitating smoother vehicular movement at
night.

The second winning project, 'Flowing Water for
Growing Future,' led by Myla Cabaluna, focused on solving the water access
challenges in the Lawaguin community. Due to the absence of a reliable water
supply, residents resorted to washing clothes and bathing by the roadside. The
initiative installed a solar-powered water pump, ensuring a consistent and
clean water supply for the community. This has significantly improved living
conditions and hygiene for the local residents.

'Paliparan
Community Livelihood Project' - Empowering Communities through Sewing
The third winning project, the 'Paliparan
Community Livelihood Project' by Bong Rho Yoon, aimed to enhance the livelihood
of the urban poor community in Paliparan, a densely populated barangay with
over 100,000 residents. Over 50% of households relied on construction work as
their primary source of income. To diversify job opportunities, vocational
training in sewing was introduced. Thanks to LG's support, additional sewing
machines were provided, resulting in an increase in employment opportunities
and a stable source of income for households. The project now boasts a total of
41 sewing machines, providing clients with high-quality products both locally
and overseas. The workspace has been transformed into a brighter, more
comfortable environment with sufficient lighting and electric fans.
