The live stream connected attendees from over 500 chapters and outreaches throughout the country and extended its reach to 70 nations worldwide, creating an international movement of faith, hope, and healing.

The celebration was highlighted by special prayers for the nation, where the Philippines was lifted up in intercession, and divine blessings were declared over the country. Thousands of people gathered and united in prayer for the nation, and heaven opened up as God answered the prayers, pouring out His blessings.

This mother and her baby attended the 31st anniversary of Oras Ng Himala in March 2024. At the time, baby Miracle, just three months old, was covered in wounds from head to toe. The man of God declared that the next time he saw her, she would be healed, with smooth skin and in perfect health. When they returned home that same day, baby Miracle’s wounds began to heal, gradually disappearing.

However, soon after, she developed meningitis, which severely affected her head and caused blindness. She was in a coma for two months in the hospital. Throughout this difficult time, her mother held onto her faith, continuing to watch Miracle Hour on YouTube every night.

Now, by the glory of God, the mother is here to testify that the man of God’s prophecy has come true. Baby Miracle is now perfectly healthy— a living testament to God’s power and grace. She joyfully praises the Lord, the God of Miracles, for His divine intervention in the life of her precious daughter. Praise be to God!

This woman arrived suffering from chronic pulmonary disease and heart failure, but by the power of God, she was gloriously healed! She came in a wheelchair, but now, joyfully, she pushes her own wheelchair— a clear and visible testimony of the Living God’s healing power.

And countless sick people, particularly those with incurable diseases, were all healed by our Almighty God!

In addition, the event featured the Mission of Love – Love in Action, which offered much-needed support and care to thousands of individuals in need.

AMA Rural Bank to DepEd: Remit P1.5B or Face Legal Consequences

AMA Rural Bank of Mandaluyong Inc. (ARB), owned by businessman Amable Aguiluz, has demanded that the Department of Education (DepEd) remit P1.495 billion in unremitted collections from public school teachers, warning of legal action against key officials.

In a letter dated February 12, 2025, ARB chief operating officer Felino H. Esquivias Jr. urged DepEd Undersecretary for Finance Annalyn M. Sevilla to release the funds within five days.

The amount includes P734.57 million collected between September 2019 and April 2022, and an additional P760.6 million from May to November 2022, both under the Automatic Payroll Deduction System.

Sevilla confirmed the initial amount in a May 2022 letter but has yet to remit the funds, ARB said.

The bank warned that failure to comply would result in complaints being filed before the Ombudsman and the Civil Service Commission against Sevilla and other DepEd officials.

UNICEF Philippines and BDO Foundation form relationship to benefit youth in Bangsamoro region.

Finding ways for the youth. The ceremonial signing of the memorandum of agreement was led by UNICEF Philippines Acting Representative Behzad Noubary (2nd from left, seated), BDO Foundation President Mario Deriquito (3rd from left), and BDO Foundation Trustees Evelyn Salagubang (rightmost) and Ma. Corazon Mallillin (leftmost).

UNICEF Philippines and the BDO Foundation are working together to improve educational options for out-of-school children, teenagers, and adolescents in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) through the Alternative Learning System (ALS). This initiative, which will assist underprivileged communities in Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, and Maguindanao, will provide out-of-school children and youth with a second chance to reintegrate into formal education or build valuable employable skills.

BDO Unibank’s corporate social responsibility department will sponsor the initiative for the next two years. The partnership’s goal is to close the education gap and reach 3,000 adolescents aged 10 to 19, giving them educational opportunities that can change their lives.

BARMM suffers from a number of issues, including high poverty rates, restricted access to secondary education, and the highest illiteracy rate in the nation. Ongoing armed conflict, political instability, and natural catastrophes compound these challenges, putting many young people, particularly girls, disabled children, and conflict victims, at a substantial disadvantage. The region’s youth are also at risk of missing out on educational opportunities, which can significantly limit their socioeconomic potential.

In response, UNICEF Philippines has been working with the BARMM Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education to expand ALS programs that provide flexible learning opportunities for out-of-school adolescents. With the support of the BDO Foundation, this collaborative commitment and cooperation will improve ALS access throughout the region, assisting disadvantaged adolescents in returning to formal education, becoming more active in the community, and acquiring the skills and education required for a brighter and more sustainable future.

UNICEF and the BDO Foundation intend to eliminate major educational inequalities in BARMM and improve the socioeconomic mobility of the region’s young. By cooperating with local governments and communities, the effort assures the long-term viability of ALS programs and benefits the recipients.

EK President and CEO Mario O. Mamon and Head of Learning and Development Ms. Pauline Barreiro received the award during the Tourism Excellence Awards 2024 and the Philippine Tourism Awards Regional Recognition held at the Twin Lakes Hotel, Tagaytay City, December 3.

“Through this very relevant program, we have been able to provide even more world-class, enchanting, educational, and entertainment experiences to our guests of all ages, embodying the unique brand of Filipino service excellence,” Mr. Mamon shared.

As of 2024, EK has completed training 99% of its more than 800 Cast Members (employees) under the FBSE program. Additionally, the premier theme park is planning to extend the said training to its partner agencies and tenants this 2025.

“As we at Enchanted Kingdom prepare to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we shall endeavor to continue our mutual support, partnership, and collaboration with DOT, especially in CALABARZON, to uplift Philippine tourism service standards locally and globally in the years to come,” Mr. Mamon added.

Partner in Education

Meanwhile, EK has been recognized as one of the long-standing education partners who have shown unwavering support to the Department of Education (DepEd) during the Pasasalamat at Pagpupugay (Partners Appreciation and Recognition Event) on December 16.

The said event celebrates and acknowledges the support and collaborative effort of partners on the various DepEd priority programs in education. EK has been supporting Brigada Eskwela for 10 years now and has helped improve a total of 11 classrooms in various elementary schools in Santa Rosa City, Laguna.

Magical Year of Tourism Excellence

Beyond creating magical experiences for guests of all generations, Enchanted Kingdom serves a higher purpose of contributing to the growth of the tourism sector and its immediate community

In August, the Provincial Government of Laguna (PGL) recognized EK’s outstanding achievement and excellence in company operations and management during the 2nd Laguna Stakeholders Business Forum. The local government commended EK’s significant contribution to the economic development and competitiveness of the province.

Additionally, EK has also been recognized by the PGL as an esteemed industry partner for its valuable contribution to the tourism and industry development of the province during the Laguna Business Summit held in March. The said recognition highlighted EK’s dedication to excellence as proven by prestigious international awards it received, such as the Best Retail Merchandise Display from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Brass Rings Award.

Good Corporate Citizenship and Fostering Inclusivity

In March, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Biñan-West Laguna District recognized EK as the Top 3 Taxpayer, acknowledging EK’s prompt and efficient payment of correct taxes, which immensely contributed towards the achievement of the district collection goal for the calendar year 2023. EK was also awarded the Top Taxpayer Amusement Park Category in September during the prestigious Lion Awards for Business of the local government unit (LGU) of the City of Santa Rosa.

And lastly, EK strengthened its commitment to inclusivity as a mother-and-baby-friendly establishment certified by the LGU Santa Rosa. EK was also recognized as an autism-friendly working environment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder in part of LGU Santa Rosa’s celebration of National Autism Consciousness Week 2024 in January.

“As we gear towards our 30th anniversary of creating magical experiences and memories that last a lifetime, all the more that we commit to embracing diversity, exclusivity, and inclusivity. Ultimately, we want every guest regardless of gender, religion, culture, disability, and race to enjoy the park and accommodate their special needs in ways we can,” said EK’s Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Cynthia R. Mamon.
