Charity: Bahay Maria Orphanage, Bel-Air, Makati
This is Tutubi's second visit to the charitable institution and the third orphanage for his annual gift-giving "Orphanage Tour" before a heavy (so-so) lunch at C2 Classic Cuisine at Powerplant Mall.
Bahay Maria (not Bahay ni Maria) is a nice home for former homeless girls turned into an orphanage.
Bahay Maria, an unassuming house in an exclusive gated community is home to former streetchildrenTutubi and his "tour-mates" were treated to song and dance numbers by the children and their own depiction of the nativity.
the holy family visited by the three magis...err..two magis as the third one was playing somewherefinally caught up with the third magi still wearing the crown
the "missing" magi caught on camThis "orphanage tour" is really a nice thing to do even at least once a year to share to underprivileged people even small things.
Christmas is not just about gifts to your family, friends and loved ones but it's much more meaningful once shared with strangers and people in need.
How to get there:
for directions from Ayala Avenue, head towards Makati Avenue going to Mandaluyong and turn right on Kalayaan Avenue until you see the gate of Bel-Air fronting Powerplant Mall. Bahay Maria is just along Amapola St, the street immediately after the guard house of the subdivision entrance.
Bahay Maria Center
Address: 95 Amapola Bel-Air 3 Makati

I also used to volunteer for charitable works during Christmas season. I stopped a few years now due to work-related time constraint.
I supposed to join the fourth Annual Firefly Brigade Christmas Gift-giving Ride last December 19. Unfortunately, my wife and I flew to the province for a vacation and schedule ng balik namin eh 20th.
Anyhow, a blessed 2010 for you and family... -
