(Press Release) — Carlito J. Marquez, president of the United Filipino Organization, issued the following statement Monday on behalf of UFO:
The United Filipino Organization extends its heartfelt thanks to all who participated in the successful Mt. Tapochao Good Friday Trek activities. Through this collective effort, we were able to sustain the free distribution of bottled water, boiled eggs, bread and rice porridge to devotees along Mt. Tapochao Road.
We are deeply grateful to our donors, including Hafa Adai Rent A Car for providing a pickup truck to transport supplies to Mt. Tapochao. Special thanks go to Soledad Maria Quan, president of Hafa Adai Rent A Car; Mishael Pelicano, operations manager; and Cely Monteclaro, UFO assistant treasurer, for facilitating the service vehicle.
These activities would not have been possible without the support of UFO member organizations, including the Bayani Association, Bicol Association in the Northern Mariana Islands, Marianas Association of Filipino Engineers and Architects, Marianas Institute of Filipino CPAs and Accountants, Northern Mariana Bartenders Association, and Samahang Ilocano.
UFO also extends its appreciation to the companies that provided financial and in-kind support, including HBR Construction, MJ Enterprise, JAG Construction, CFPJ Construction, JG Sablan Ice & Water Inc., and Val Cruz of Macro Accounting.
We likewise thank the individuals who generously donated in kind, including Dennis Cortez of Chang Ming Market, Cris Rivera of Royal Pacific Express, Rommel Relucio of Triple R Auto Shop, Noel Ordas of Bourbon Street, Roselle Pitpit of 5P’s Collections, Gold Ribbon Bake Shop & Restaurant, Engineer Moises Tagle Jr. of RNV Construction, Jerald Rivera for securing space for the UFO tent, and GPPC Construction for accommodating the UFO tent at their staging area.
Thank you all for your continued support and generosity.
