The Negros Press Club yesterday spearheaded the rollout of a “Unity” Community Pantry for 200 residents of Barangay Vista Alegre in Bacolod City.
NPC president Yves Montecillo said that the activity held at the Vista Alegre-Granada Relocation Elementary School (VAGRES) campus, is a collective effort of various media outlets — broadcast, print and online — with practitioners based in Bacolod City and Negros Occidental.
“There is no competition in public service. We can set aside rivalries for a common goal. That is, to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters,” Montecillo stressed.
He said that the identified beneficiaries received food stuff, hygiene kits and other essential items, with supplies donated by several media outlets, as well as NPC’s corporate and individual sponsors.*
