Twenty-five centavos occupy a big portion of Quirino Grandstand
Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 3:37 AM
Filipinos are noted for its values and one of these is bayanihan (helping one another). In the present incident we talk of twenty-five centavo coins donated by all sectors of society lined up in the open field of Quirino Grandstand. It is a way of helping build more schools and other projects while hoping to beat United States in the Guinness record of lining up cents as long as 64.8 kilometers. The organizers declared they have surpassed this very long line of cents (70 kms. long!) so let us wait for (we hope) not a very long time the declaration from the Guinness team that the Philippines made it.
For us teachers what is more important is the intention behind the bayanihan. Imagine the help that will go a long way. Many volunteered and this is the real reason for celebration when volunteers get together to tell the whole world that big things begin with small things: twenty-five centavos can reach millions when every donor shares much. In the meantime, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is happy that the "lowly" twenty-five centavos have come back to be "recognized" as it hopes to build noble projects for the use of the less fortunate wherever they may be.
To all donors and volunteers: May your tribe increase and God bless!!!
