00:00Magahanap ka ba ng bagong experience sa susunod mong gala?
00:04Bakit hindi mo sumukan na isama sa itinerary mo ang mag-volunteer kagaya ng ginagawa ng Feeding Change Philippines?
00:11Panoonin natin ito.
00:15Sa loob ng walong taon, marami ng lugar sa Pilipinas ang nabisita ng Feeding Change Philippines,
00:22isang volunteer group na nakabisita na sa mahigit 40 lugar sa bansa.
00:26Kapilang ang Mindoro, Valer Aurora, Sagada, Tanay, Zambales at maging sa Metro Manila.
00:36Sa bawat pagbisita nila, hindi lang sila nagbibigay ng tulong, nakikisalamuha at nakikipahagi din sila sa buhay ng mga lokal.
00:45Ang kanilang misyon, supportahan ng bawat sektor ng lipunan mula sa kabataan at kalusugan hanggang sa edukasyon, kabuhayan at kalikasan.
00:55Ang kanilang samahan ay lumawak na rin at matagal ng bukas sa lahat.
01:00Organisado at well-coordinated ang bawat outreach program at volunteer tour na ginagawa nila,
01:06kung saan hands-on immersion at real-life experience ay priority ng kanilang itinerary.
01:12Kaya ngayong umaga, isama na sa iyong travel goals ang mag-volunteer.
01:17Join na sa Feeding Change Philippines na live rito sa Rise and Shine, Pilipinas.
01:24Mga ka-RSP, kasama po natin live sa studio.
01:28Ang founder ng Feeding Change Philippines na si Sir Lance Barsena.
01:32Rise and Shine, Sir Lance.
01:33Good morning.
01:34Good morning, Audrey.
01:36Good morning, ka-RSP.
01:38Gusto ko pong malaman, kailan po nagsimula itong parang Feeding Change Philippines?
01:44Kung saan yung bawat lugar na pinupuntahan nyo, nagkakaroon po kayo ng feeding program?
01:49Yeah, so we started in 2018. So that was 8 years ago po, last April.
01:54And the reason why it started, I used to work po sa Cambodia for an international tour and volunteering company.
02:01And then during that time, I was like, if kaya siya sa ibang bansa, volunteer works, bakit hindi natin doon
02:07sa Pilipinas?
02:08And that's where it started po, Feeding Change Philippines.
02:11Ayun. So ano ba yung talagang pinakapangunahing layo din ang organisasyon?
02:15Our mission po, our goal, is to improve the way of life in the Philippines by bringing people all together.
02:22Kung baga po, sama-sama tayo, magtulungan tayo para sa pagbabago.
02:26Alright, nandong May 2 lang, nagkaroon kayo ng feeding program sa Oriental Mindoro.
02:31Maraming nyo po bang ikwento kung ano yung mga kaganapan doon?
02:34Yes po. Bali, for Feeding Change Philippines po, meron tayong volunteer and volunteering.
02:40So when we go out of town po, we do volunteering.
02:44So it's like traveling with purpose or you create impact.
02:48So when we went to Oriental Mindoro, it's our fourth time to be there.
02:53And what we did, aside sa feeding program, because I think mostly people would say Feeding Change Philippines is just
02:59feeding program.
02:59Because by its name. But when we do to a community, we do immersion po.
03:05So we host learning sessions, we connect with the locals.
03:10So for Mindoro po, we work with the kids.
03:13Meron po kaming activities for the half day na may mga learning session and then may mga fan activities team
03:19po.
03:19Uy, maganda yun. Kasi bukod doon sa pagbibigay ng mga food sa kanila, syempre of course kailangan yun para makagawa
03:27ka talaga buong araw.
03:28Maganda na may mga natututuhan dito yung mga bata, hindi lang sa feeding program na kaasa.
03:33So bukod doon, ngayong July, meron po kayong volunteer tour na gagawin sa Zambales naman.
03:40Tell us more about this.
03:42Yes po. So for July 24 to 26, we're gonna be in Zambales for the fifth time.
03:46Wow. So for this one naman po, we work with the environment naman po as part of our advocacy.
03:53So when we do environmental works, we do beach cleanups, making sure na malinis ang ating coastline as much as
04:00we could.
04:01We also create wooden bins. Kasi ayun po yun na-realize namin ang mga problems, especially sa mga tourist spots.
04:07People tend to forget na dapat ang basura tinatapos sa tamang basuraan or tamang lugar.
04:12And aside from that, we create eco-signages. Ito po yung mga parang mga signboards na mga hugot lines.
04:19Kasi sa panahon po ngayon, the more na may hugot, the more na mas may impact sa mga nakabasa.
04:25Hindi ko alam kung nakakalimutan nilang huwag dumihan yung mga karagatan natin.
04:30O sinasadyan nyo ba yun?
04:31O minsan nyo, huwag lang sasambali, sir. Puto nyo rin. May ibang parte ako ng Batangas.
04:36O yan, o yan.
04:37Nakita ako talaga. Nakakainit ng ulo. Parang walang, walang respeto sa...
04:41O talagang parang walang care.
04:43O may ilang parte ng Batangas lang. Ngayon, well, three days po itong magaganap, itong activity nito.
04:50Ano po yung plano ninyo para sa AITA community?
04:55Yes po. So it's three days activity. The first day po, we're gonna work with the AITA community.
04:59So with this one, we're gonna do immersion. Since rainy season po siya, what we're gonna be doing is we're
05:05bringing the AITAS from the mountain to the city po.
05:08Okay.
05:09And then during that event, we're gonna do learning sessions. May mga fun activities tayo, not just for the kids,
05:15but also for the adults.
05:16So right now po, meron tayong 172 families that we're gonna be inviting from the mountain papunta po sa city,
05:24which is sa barangay Baloma in San Felipe Zambalis po.
05:27And then on the second day, this is the focus of the environmental works po. This is where we're gonna
05:32be doing beach cleanups, wooden bins, and eco-signages.
05:37And then the third day po, since it's a volunteer, we're gonna visit a waterfalls.
05:41So kung baga po, it's a combination of traveling with purpose. Especially dun sa mga sanasabihan na gala ka ng
05:47gala.
05:47So I think for this time, you can say, gala ako ng gala, but with purpose.
05:53Oh, yung ganda nun na. Parang mas masarap ipagmalaki yun. May nagawa ako, hindi lang ako gumala.
05:58Mas memorable.
05:59Yes.
06:01At may impact sa kapwa Pilipino.
06:04Ito naman, paano yun ba pinipili yung mga lugar na pupuntahan po ninyo?
06:08Sa mga lugar po na pinupuntahan namin, dalawang bagay po yan.
06:11Yung una po, through social media, marami po nag-reach out sa amin ng mga organizations and community.
06:16So that's one thing po.
06:18And once na maging okay po yung discussion to partner with them, that's when we do the outage programs.
06:24The second one po is we look over Luzon and identify specific communities na may kailangan ng support.
06:31Kasi for Feeding Change Philippines po, we're not just focusing in one sector.
06:34We have projects relating to building, education, medical, environments.
06:40So sako po lahat.
06:40So sako po lahat as much as we could.
06:43That's why hindi lang po kami nakafocus sa isang area.
06:45We really go to different places to make sure na slowly there's an impact that we're creating or change at
06:52Feeding Change Philippines is all about.
06:53So far, dun sa mga napuntahan po ninyo, ano yung sa tingin yung pinaka-memorable?
06:59For me, dalawang bagay na isu po eh.
07:03Yung una po, where everyone was crying when we worked with mga matatanda po na napabayaan na.
07:10So natouch ko eh doon.
07:11So sobrang, dun ko po na first time nakita na yung mga volunteers nakasama ko umiiyak.
07:16And it's a different experience.
07:18And then maybe second po is when we visited a jail, may kitaw mo po doon na yung mga kwento
07:26na sa simula nakakatakot na we're gonna be doing outreach program.
07:31Kasi that's the common connotation eh.
07:32When you say jail, masasama tao yung mga nito.
07:35Pero once you hear their stories, may realize mo na we're so blessed to be able to do whatever we
07:42want.
07:42Hindi tayo nakakulong sa apat na sulong.
07:45So, yun na nga, yun ang pinaka-the best experience doon, ano.
07:49Yung makita mo yung hirap na buhay sa mga kanayunan, o even sa mga kulungan.
07:54May experience mo ngayon, magiging blessed ka.
07:57Feeling mo blessed ka.
07:58Ngayon, interesado dito yung ibang nanonood.
08:01Halimbawa, yung mga gusto mag-volunteer.
08:04Ako lang eh, gusto ko nang sami yung dalawang dalawang manapagdaw eh.
08:07Kapag malapit nga po dito sa area na Metro Manila.
08:09Maganda yun eh.
08:10Hmm, maraming matututunan sa kanyang mga outreach.
08:13Pero, ilan po yung maximum na pwedeng maging volunteer?
08:16So, for our projects po, we did Metro Manila.
08:20Mostly, umaabot po kayo ng 50 to 80 volunteers.
08:23So, madami po.
08:24Kasi mas easy po yung logistics and stuff.
08:26Pag mga out of town po, we're limiting to 50.
08:30Kasi po, as much as possible, gusto namin yung hands-on experience.
08:34Kasi pag sobrang dami po, the volunteers, minsan nakatayun na lang sila, wala na silang ginagawa.
08:39And for our projects po, yung programs namin, carefully designed siya na magmatch sa number of beneficiaries and number of
08:47volunteers.
08:48Kung baga, if you're gonna volunteer with us po, may naka-assign ka ng mga grupo, either bata o matanda.
08:54Now, that's your priority, to get to know them and to understand bakit ka nga ba nagpa-volunteer and what's
09:00the impact you're trying to give to them.
09:03Para hindi pang-post lang sa Facebook.
09:05Yes.
09:05So, talagang may nagawa ka talaga.
09:07Maramdaman mo, makita mo yung buhay ng iba, na malaman mo kung gano'ng kaka-bless.
09:12Para po sa mga gusto mag-volunteer, paano makik-connect po sa inyo?
09:15Yes po.
09:16So, we're available everywhere, especially online these days.
09:19You can just search Feeding Change Philippines, whether it's on a specific platform or social media account.
09:27And we're posting pa yung mga activities namin, whether it's volunteer works within Metro Manila or volunteer works outside of
09:34Metro Manila.
09:35Wow. Maraming maraming salamat, Sir Lance.
09:37Good luck ka sa mga susunod pag mga event at saka sana mas marami pa kayong maapekto ang mga kababayan
09:42natin.
09:42Correct. At mas maraming pagbabago.
09:45Yun.
09:45Maraming maraming salamat.
09:46It may be at sal quinquino va-to 6pm Thanks, Not French.
