CEZA’s PAMASKONG HANDOG 2024: Delivers Holiday Joy to Children in Need
The Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) brought holiday cheer to 400 indigent children and their guardians from 16 barangays within the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport (CSEZFP) through its annual Pamaskong Handog program. The event, held on December 21, 2024, at the Sta. Ana Fishery National High School Gymnasium, transformed the venue into a hub of joy and celebration
Attendees beamed with happiness as they joined festive activities such as parlor games, a mini show, and a memorable Christmas party. Each family received gifts, relishing not only the presents but also the opportunity to celebrate the season with their fellow townmates.
Spreading Holiday Spirit to Indigent Communities
The Pamaskong Handog is CEZA’s yearly holiday tradition dedicated to the CSEZFP community. Its mission is to embody the true essence of Christmas—spreading kindness, generosity, and joy, especially to the less fortunate.
“Christmas is a glorious season, but it can also be a challenging time for those facing personal struggles,” shared CEZA Deputy Administrator for Operations, Atty. Marichelle De Guzman. “Through Pamaskong Handog, we aim to bring the holiday spirit to life by sharing what we can and creating simple yet memorable moments. Every year, we identify indigent families who can join us for this meaningful celebration.”
Atty. De Guzman emphasized that the program also fosters a sense of unity. “This initiative not only spreads the holiday spirit but strengthens community bonds as we work together toward a shared purpose,” she explained. She extended gratitude to supporters, including CEZA locator Kaiju and dedicated volunteers who helped prepare and distribute food and gift packs. “Your contributions ensured these young children and their guardians felt the love and joy of Christmas,” she added.
