On November 22, 2018
from 5:30PM to 9PM, The Madrigal Foundation headed by Ms. Patricia Madrigal
with its partners will launch “Para Kay Manong Toda,” an advocacy campaign to marginalize
tricycle drivers and help them alleviate their lives by being heard through
forums, seminars and press conferences by inviting government officials and
private sectors as panelist’s and speakers. That way, the Foundation is hoping
that at least some of their needs will be heard by means of these awareness
programs.
A Forum & Press Conference is set with
panelists that include:
1. Shariff Ibrahim
2. Manny Lopez
3. Bert Hashimoto
4. Migui Moreno
5. Mario Batuigas
6. Arnel Catimbuhan
(Vice Mayor Imus, Cavite for LGU)
7. Bong Quirog
(Business Chamber President for Business)
8. Rey Castro
(Barangay Captain at Santa Maria, Bulacan, TODA)
9. Usec Rose
Bistoyong (Climate Change Council)
10. Eva Lisa Adoremos
(Manong Toda)
11. Ms. Therese
Madrigal (Madrigal Foundation)
The event will be
moderated by PTV Anchor Emelie Katigbak and Manila Times Business Writer Engr.
Grace Bondad Nicolas.
The “Para Kay Manong
Toda” aids the well-being of the marginalized tricycle drivers. Most of the
tricycle drivers are head of the family and works 7 days a week to support
their loved ones, without health insurance and most doesn’t receive benefits
from the government. These modern-day heroes are exposed to pollution and
environmental hazards daily.
One of the programs
under this project is to seek help to focus on their working and medical
conditions. In this way, these heroes can continue helping their families and
the society as well giving good and safe transportation to those in need. The
foundation believes that information dissemination is one way to be heard.
