Golden Haven Koronadal Introduces Free Wake Service with Every Memorial Lot Purchase

Golden Haven Koronadal

Koronodal City is at the center of South Cotabato. Known for rich culture heritage, the local TBoli people, the lake Sebu and tons of waterfalls, it is paradise on Earth!

A melting pot, lots of its inhabitants come from other regions and locals, all living together. This is also where Golden Haven Koronadal is located. This memorial park has gone the mile in making sure that compassion is felt in the community. Recently, they announced "Libreng Burol", a free wake benefit for those who have purchased a memorial lot in their facility. This takes a lot of the burden that families experience when someone passes, and have them laid in a properly manicured place, to honor and respect their loved ones. This is something that they've thought of as they partnered with local mortuary partners, making every move culturally sensitive especially those who require it because of religious affinity.

Emelia Lustado the Visayas Mindanao Operations Head for Golden Haven said they made these changes to make all the plans more comprehensive especially at times when people need to make rush decisions to alleviate them of the stress. This is simply their act of love, a matter of respect when it is needed most. If you want to know more about it, call them at 0919096 8718 or visit their site at goldenhaven.com.ph. 

Foundation Implements Programs: Improves Lives in SOCCSKSARGEN Region

Continuing on their efforts on health and livelihood, BingoPlus Foundation (the social development part of DigiPlus Interactive) is taking their social development work down south, particularly in General Santos City. Choosing this place amongst places that needed help must have been a hard task especially for what they plan on doing.

This means they will be bringing KalusuganPLUS and KabuhayanPLUS which are some of the programs they have successfully implemented in other areas which need access to public health, job opportunities too. After all, they wouldn't be just giving out things, but have them learn to fish correct?

This not only would affect individuals, but more of families and communities. Sanitation facilities were awarded to different barangays like San Isidro, Tinagcan, Ligaya, Bawing and Calumpang. This area alone houses 3000 people, so now they all have access to clean water and proper sanitation which is important in urban living. Some of these towns actually have indigent families from the Badjaos, a sea/shore dwelling tribe in the region. This also coincides with the local government unit's efforts especially in health and sanitation, to prevent folks from getting sick from waterborne diseases which happens a lot in the SOCCSKSARGEN region.   
 
KabuhayanPLUS also gives them proper training so they could achieve skills and use it to earn a living. They even teach people dressmaking and tailoring. They get TESDA certifications which they can use later on if they want to pursue something in the industry. This has also given single mothers/parents opportunities to earn, to put food on their table... and for their families.   

From beyond providing aid, this foundation's programs will not only give them what they need now, but beyond that. It would give them hope, and a future that is stable, healthy, and still living.
