Global smartphone brand Vivo has played Santa ahead of Christmas as it created treasured
moments to the elderly at the God’s Grace Home Care Center (GGHCC) in Quezon City on
November 24, 2018.
GGHCC serves as a home to the elderly, the disabled, and other patients who need palliative
care. With this in mind, Vivo as represented by its 24 employees brought cash donation, brand
new wheelchairs, commodes, adult diapers, slippers, pillows, and personal hygiene kits for the
GGHCC. At least 40 older adults from the GGHCC participated in Vivo’s visit.
“We as a brand is known for having high-grade smartphone cameras that understand the value of capturing precious moments in the best ways possible. We wanted to extend this vocation by celebrating Christmas with our elderly at the GGHCC,” Vivo Philippines HR Director Ms. Nerissa Choy said in her opening remarks.
Vivo also invited its young endorsers Inigo Pascual and Maris Racal to the visit. Inigo serenaded
the lolas and the lolos with his hit “Dahil Sa’yo” and his rendition of the Christmas classic “Sana
Ngayong Pasko.” He also played the Hep Hep Hooray game with the elderly.
Maris, on the other hand, performed her original song “Ikaw Lang Sapat Na” and her cover of
“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” during the visit. She also played the Siomai, Siopao,
Suman game with the residents of the GGHCC.
Vivo also collated video greetings from its other endorsers Kisses Delavin, Edward Barber,
Maymay Entrata, Darren Espanto, Kathryn Bernardo, and Daniel Padilla.
Vivo previously extended help to Cottoleng Filipino, Habitat for Humanity, and the AFP Medical
Center (V. Luna General Hospital).
